   Is binary code a language?
  Is machine instruction system belong to lanuage? Is it a kind of a language?   
  of course.it is the code machine language(actually they are)   ;  You could consider it such, but it is now very atypical to write a program this way. The closest thing you can probably do is write in assembly language, which is almost like writing machine instructions, but there are certain aspects that are abstracted to make it more human-readable.Edit: Or if this is a philosophical discussion you could say that as far as the purpose of a programming language is to communicate a computational process to a machine, machine language is "expressively" equivalent (or greater) to any other programming language, since these are translated to machine code in the end. If you are having a debate over whether the machine code is a language or not, you are actually debating the semantics of the word "language."   ;  It is how it all started, so I guess you can call it a language.If you call sticking pins in holes a language...   ;  machine isn't "considered" a programming language. It IS a programming language. ;  Assembly is nearly a 1:1 conversion into binary, and there are still plenty of things written in assembly.   ;  From dictionary.com's defintion of language languageQuote:1.a. Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary  signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols.b. Such a system including its rules for combining its components, such as words.c. Such a system as used by a nation, people, or other distinct community; often contrasted with dialect.2.a. A system of signs, symbols, gestures, or rules used in communicating: the language of algebra.b. Computer Science. A system of symbols and rules used for communication with or between computers.Depending on the definition of a symbol, machine code might be a language (according to 2.b) if the instructions can be considered symbols. It doesn't satisfy 1.a because it doesn't communicate feelings.   ;Quote:Original post by pulpfistIt is how it all started, so I guess you can call it a language.If you call sticking pins in holes a language...What is this guy trying to say?

[smile];  Binary isn't any more of a language than the alphabet.   ;  I think my computability book defines a language as the set of all groupings of instructions that a computer can recognize.So yes, it is, from a strict computability definition.
