How many machine language invented till now?
I want know if there is another machine language away of 0 & 1

Ok lets clarify some conceptions first.
Binary is not really only 0 and 1. Binary is two different states.
For example:
Low voltage or high voltage
Dark or Light.
But why we use 0 and 1?
Because cpus are designed to understand this abstraction.
Ok? So There are other options to binary?
Yes. You can build a computer using ternary logic or you can build a computer in any base you like.
The problem is that its not easy to implement. Another reason is because a lots of applications binary is sufficient. We got to deep in binary and implement from beggining a new model is kind of a pain.
To computers exists in the way we know today was put a lot of effort, resources, years and lives.
Maybe one day we will use another model. But until that day computers will count in base 2.

Anya Nice reference to ternary logic. đđ
