There is usually a translator program (compiler or interpreter) that you need to install to get your code to work. What it does is that it translates your human readable code to machine language understandable by computers. This is an oversimplification though as only a few languages work like this. Most languages have a series of translation step before it is converted to machine language.

We code using programming language but actually every code in a programming language uses binary language ( 0 and 1). A sequence of many 0 and 1 forms a character. Eg:- 000001 = a, 000010 = b, etc. Many such sequence from a code. For human code can be: <!DOCTYPE html>, document.write(), etc. But for an electrically device it is always one or many series of 0 and 1. We type document.write() and our browser convert it into 0 and 1. Like this code work. It is difficult for me to explain code by typing.
