            A computer language is a means of communication to exchange
            information between a user and a computer.                                                    Computer

            A computer follows a set of instructions or programs written in                              and executes
            a computer language to perform a specific job. Each computer                                  program
            language has its own specific rules, called syntax.                   Computer displays

            First-Generation Programming Language (Machine Language)
            The  Machine  language  is  the  first-generation  programming
            language. It is the only programming language that the computer
            can understand directly. It is expressed in the form of binary
            digits - 0 and 1.

            Machine language programs are machine-dependent. The programs
            written on one computer may not run on another computer.
