<p>info, why not write everything in machine code, assembly</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Machine code&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only &#039;[[programming language]]&#039; a computer actually understands. Any other programming language has to be converted into machine code, either by an [[interpreter]] or a [[compiler]].<br /> <br /> == Why not write everything in machine code? ==<br /> Machine code is not designed to be human readable. It&#039;s also extremely [[Low-level programming language|low-level]]. That makes it much more difficult to program in machine code.<br /> <br /> == Assembly ==<br /> The [[assembly]] &#039;[[programming language]]&#039; is essentially a more human-readable form of machine code. It&#039;s generally used to write [[Bootloader|bootloaders]] for [[Operating system|operating systems]] or to program [[Embedded programming|embedded devices]].</div>
