Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A binary number is made up of just two possible digits, zero and one. So, a machine language instruction is just a sequence of zeros and ones. Each particular sequence encodes some particular instruction. The data that the computer manipulates is also encoded as binary numbers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Computers can represent numbers using binary code in the form of digital 1s and 0s inside the central processing unit (CPU) and RAM. These digital numbers are electrical signals that are either on or off inside the CPU or RAM.

Detailed explanation-3: -Machine code, also known as machine language, is the elemental language of computers. It is read by the computer’s central processing unit (CPU), is composed of digital binary numbers and looks like a very long sequence of zeros and ones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Computer instructions are written in binary, also known as machine code. Computer hardware operates on a series of these binary instructions through pulsating power signals that signify either OFF or ON based on the binary digits 0 and 1 respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -A sequence of instructions describing how to perform a certain task is called a program. A computer’s primitive instructions form a language in which it is possible for people to communicate with the computer . Such a language is called a machine language.
