machine code
[/məˈʃiːn koʊd/]
nounpl: machine codes
código de máquina
1. The lowest-level programming language consisting of binary instructions (0s and 1s) that a computer's CPU can directly execute without translation
The compiler converts high-level code into machine code that the processor can understand.
O compilador converte o código de alto nível em código de máquina que o processador pode entender.
2. The native instruction set of a specific processor architecture
Different processors have different machine code formats, so code written for one CPU may not work on another.
Diferentes processadores têm formatos de código de máquina diferentes, portanto o código escrito para uma CPU pode não funcionar em outra.
In both Brazil and the USA, 'machine code' is a fundamental concept taught in computer science curricula. Brazilian and Portuguese developers use 'código de máquina' as the standard technical term, while American developers often distinguish between machine code and assembly language in technical discussions. The term reflects the evolution of computing from direct machine instruction programming to high-level abstractions.
