How many machine language invented till now?

Question

I want know if there is another machine language away of 0 & 1

Answer 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.

Answer 2

Anya Nice reference to ternary logic. 😉👌
