Computers work by being a massive system of on or off “switches”

They do this by working in something known as binary. 1 indicating on and 0 indicating off.

Programming languages act as a medium between human language and the computer language binary.

For example when you enter the “Print” command your operating system translates that into binary and and the computer is able to “understand” that and act on it.
