Question

what are advantages and disadvantages of machine language? for class 5 short answer

Answer 1

Machine Language :
Machine Language is the only language that is directly understood by the computer. It does not needs any translator program. We also call it machine code and it is written as strings of 1's (one) and 0’s (zero). When this sequence of codes is fed to the computer, it recognizes the codes and converts it in to electrical signals needed to run it. For example, a program instruction may look like this:

1011000111101

It is not an easy language for you to learn because of its difficult to understand. It is efficient for the computer but very inefficient for programmers. It is considered to the first generation language. It is also difficult to debug the program written in this language.

Advantage Machine Language:
The only advantage is that program of machine language run very fast because no translation program is required for the CPU.

Disadvantages Machine Language:
1. It is very difficult to program in machine language. The programmer has to know details of hardware to write program.
2. The programmer has to remember a lot of codes to write a program which results in program errors.
3. It is difficult to debug the program

Answer 2

The advantages and disadvantages of machine language are as follows:

Machine language is the most basic and basic level of programming language, and it was the first form of the programming language created.

Advantages:

• It allows the machine to be used quickly and efficiently.
• There is no need for translation because the machine understands it straight.
• Programs written in machine language are more efficient than programmes written in other languages because they require less time to execute.

Disadvantages:

• You must remember all of the operating codes.
• A programme written in machine language is difficult to change or identify flaws in.
• Every memory address must be remembered.
