Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Computers use binary to store data. Not only because it’s a reliable way of storing the data, but computers only understand 1s and 0s-binary. A computer’s main memory consists of transistors that switch between high and low voltage levels-sometimes 5V, sometimes 0.
Detailed explanation-2: -Machine language gives instructions as 0’s and 1’s and is the only language that the computer understands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ultimately, the source code of every human-readable programming language must be translated to machine language by a compiler or an interpreter, because binary code is the only language that computer hardware can understand.
