Machine language is the lowest-level programming language consisting of binary code (0s and 1s) that directly corresponds to the hardware instructions of a specific computer architecture. It represents the fundamental set of instructions that a computer's central processing unit (CPU) can execute. Each binary instruction corresponds to a specific operation, such as arithmetic calculations or memory access. Machine language is tied to the hardware's instruction set and varies from one computer architecture to another. It's the only language the computer can directly understand and execute without translation.
