of a computer and consists of a sequence of binary instructions (zeros and ones) that control the
operations and the behavior of the machine. In this file, we will explore what machine language is.
So, how it works and its importance for the functioning of computer systems.
What is Machine Language?
Machine language, also known as machine code, is a numerical representation of
the instructions that a computer is able to execute directly. The processors are designed to
to understand and execute these binary instructions, making them the most basic and primitive form of communication
interaction between humans and machines.
Each type of processor has its own specific machine language, known as a set.
or instructions, which define the operations that the processor can execute. These operations include tar
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, data transfer between memory and registers, and cont
role of the program's execution flow.
How Machine Language Works?
Machine language instructions are represented by binary sequences, usually comp
states by 0s and 1s. Each instruction is encoded in a specific way so that the processor can interpret
correctly. The sequence of instructions is stored in the main memory of the computer and it is c
loaded into the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to be executed.
Machine language is low-level, which means it is very close to the architecture of the hardware.

ambassadors without modifications.
Example of Instruction in Machine Language:
To illustrate, here is a simple example of a machine language instruction for a processor.
hypothetical fictional character:
```
1603
```
This sequence of 16 bits can be interpreted as follows:
Operation code that indicates that the operation is an addition.
The first operand (register R0).
The second operand (register R2).
The destination register (register R3).
This instruction will add the values contained in registers R0 and R2 and store the result.
from the registrar R3.
The Importance of Machine Language
Although machine language is complex and difficult for humans to understand directly.
