too complicated to understand computer way

[samethings]

Hey guys, I find it really complicated to understand the basics of programming language. I understand there are high/low level languages like c++, c, assembly... and many more.

You use a compiler in order to compile to code into machine language (0`s and 1`s) 1 = on and 0= off in the thousands of microprocessors. But from those on and offs how did we end up having this ed games, this colourful designs, this videos(sound and picture)...

Ofc I try to think how from 0 we went to 100... but it`s really amazing how someone did that.

Also someone who did design programming. How exactly would a programmer think? What I mean is that would he think of surfaces of colors, or how? I understand that now , the programming languages developed so much that you can actually work and do in the environment that you will create like Visual Basic

And how did we end up having a scanner which will take the picture and put it into our screen...

I know this might sound very retarded, but It is really amazing what we take for granted

If you are questioning 1's and 0's you should check out this link http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+does+binary+work

Actually, it compiles into Assembly Language, which then is translated into machine code by an assembler. However, 1's and 0's is binary, not machine language. Binary represents all of the millions or little switches your computer contains within itself.

But from those on and offs how did we end up having this ed games, this colourful designs, this videos(sound and picture)...

It's all whether the switch is on or off. For instance, if a certain pixel is on or off is represented in binary (designs and videos). These switches flip most likely around thousands of times per second, representing a moving picture, when really it's just some pixels turning off and some turning on.

it`s really amazing how someone did that.

Agreed.

Also someone who did design programming. How exactly would a programmer think? What I mean is that would he think of surfaces of colors, or how?

I'm not sure what you're asking here...

And how did we end up having a scanner which will take the picture and put it into our screen...

Well, the scanner takes a picture of said object, then, sends the picture to the computer through the cord attached to it, byte by byte by byte by byte (though this is actually a really fast process). Then, software deciphers these bytes and turns them into the same picture. Tada!

***EDIT***

Damn you Logical! Right when I finished typing this.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just want to add this on the post that today when I went into google I see they dedicate the site to Alan Turning

Is this the guy who invented this madness with zeros and ones ?
