COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Machine language is the language understood by a computer. It is very difficult to understand, but it is the only thing that the computer can work with. All programs and programming languages eventually generate or run programs in machine language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Machine language (often called assembly language) performs much faster. BASIC is fairly easy to learn, but most beginners do not realize that machine language can also be easy.

Detailed explanation-3: -There may be different caches for instructions and data, depending on the architecture. The CPU knows what machine code to execute, based on its internal program counter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes it is–bearing in mind that every microprocessor has different machine code, and what you learn on one will not necessarily apply to another. Of course, whole families of machines such as the Pentium series will have largely the same instructions.
