By this I mean, when you write code, what exactly gives that the power to do anything is it more code? 0’s and 1’s? more so, what gives that thing the power to do anything? At some stage I can only deduce what must just be magic making it work because it’ll boil down to something metal and plastic ‘talking to’ an electric current, which doesn’t make sense at all
In: Engineering
The wires in a computer all have either high current or low current, represented as 1s and 0s.
With these 1s and 0s, we can connect them to do math, but it’s a bit less intuitive than if we had 0-9.
From there, were arrange and rearrange the wires and their connections until we get the output that we want.
There isn’t a magic step that your screen takes to turn those 1s and 0s into this text you’re reading; the screen is designed so that when it’s given some math, the parts that we decided correspond to letters are visually displayed as letters.
All of this decided arbitrarily (relative to our intuition)
