Question

What is machine code and how do we make the leap from transistors to machine code?

In: Technology

Answer 1

there are multiple intermediate jumps between transistors to machine code. You use transistors to make gates, use gates to build more complex components like a register, an adder, a counter, memory, etc, then you make control logic so that a part of the processor does a specific operation when it reads a specific number from memory. That number in memory is the machine code.
