Machine Language

The machine written as springs of 1’s and 0’s. The computer understands only one language without using a translation program this language is machine language. A machine language normal has a two part format.

• OPCODE (operation code) 
• OPERAND (Address/Location)

The 1st part is the operation code (OP code) that informs the computer what function has to be performed.

The 2nd part is an operand that informs the computer where to find or stored the data to be man cleated every computer has a set of OPCODE called as instruction set of computer.

Advantages:

• There is no need to translate machine language program.
• Program written in machine language are executed very fast as there is no translation.

Disadvantages:

Multi-depend:

Multi-depend as the internal design of every computer is different, the machine language is also different. Hence, if the computer changes the program or learn a new machine language and have to read write existing program.

Difficult to modify:

It is very difficult make changes and locate errors in a machine language program.

Error Prone:

For writing machine language program has to remember the OPCODE and storage location (memory, address) of data and instruction. This is very difficult and hence, create programming errors.
