I’m high and I can’t make sense of programming software

You type code into a program to let you create another program. But what code was used to create original program?

I literally can’t process this right now. Certs nikkas explain this

There's this thing called a compiler that probably explains what you'd like to know

But a compiler is still a program. What program was used to create it?

This is kind of like the big bang theory, or maybe the chicken or the egg. I think the egg came first. Eggs aren't exclusive to chickens.

At a certain point the program running the program is a computer chip.

CPUs are made up of components called registers. CPUs have instruction sets that define a bunch of boolean logic behaviors that the CPU will execute. Register values are series 0s and 1s, off and on respectively, and loading certain registers with certain values yields different results. This whole concept forms the basics of programs - they're just sequences of instructions to be executed by the processor. Compilers are just programs that translate higher level languages into byte code and machine code. The machine code is literally represented in 0s and 1s. If you cared enough, you could write a program entirely in machine code, but it wouldn't be worth the trouble. The closest to that you'll see is assembler (ARM, MIPS, etc) that is more human readable but extremely low level in that you define each operation yourself. In a higher level language like Java, C, Python, that's all abstracted away from you.

don't worry about that, unless you wanna get a masters in computer science

I'm getting flashbacks please stop

I was going to write a simple MIPS program but can't remember the registers and instructions . You haven't lived until you have to code fibonacci using only one register on your final, by hand, with only 20 minutes left .
















professor if you hate us just come out and say it, no need to traumatize people.

What if the simulation program was created by a developer and the developer became apart of the simulation but is also the simulation and the developer all at once

 

[Take It In Blood]

OP is creating a Matrix that consist of only Pawgs and Cheetos

Send me an invite when ur done

 

[Rozay Oro]

Bump

 

[O.T.I.S.]

You don’t need to use a compiler to create code tho, it just helps greatly

So thats how a compiler was created breh

High level programming language (like C or Java or C#) compiles into ---> Assembly language compiles into ---> Machine language

Where did machine language come from?
