COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Computers only understand machine code-they do not understand high-level language code. Any high-level programming language code has to be converted to executable code. Executable code is also known as machine code which is a combination of binary code 0s and 1s.

Detailed explanation-2: -The high-level language is easier to understand for the users but the computer can not understand it. High-level language needs to be converted into the low-level language to make it understandable by the computer. We use Compiler or interpreter to convert high-level language to low-level language.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compiler. A compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer.

Detailed explanation-4: -With a virtual machine, performing an instruction is a two-stage process of translating code to the host machine’s language and then executing those instructions. This is why high-level languages are slower, but more expressive, than low-level languages.
