• Okay, walk me through how you think the code an algorithm is written in gets processed by the computer step by step, please. How do you think a computer operates and is programmed?

    Let’s say you have code to tell the computer to calculate 3 + 5, in, say, C, because that’s close to assembly. What happens on the technical level?

      In sorry but you seem to be mistaking the fundamental distinction between what we are talking about.

      • Then explain to me the fundamentals you are referring to.

        Because if you are wondering about how a computer processes information, I can tell you. I can then back it up with sources, and how code gets decoded into assembly, and how assembly is interpreted (spoiler alert, it’s binary, as it’s a direct representation of the digital circuits on the hardware level, which operate based on binary states, on and off). You just have to ask.

          I’m really not. Nor am I wondering about how computers run algorithms.

          I’m sure you’re excited to talk about CompSci 201 but I don’t need the help, thanks.

                Computer science is a field I very much have knowledge in, and I could explain it all, but you said, in no uncertain terms, you are not interested in a discussion.

                So I don’t know what more to tell you, beyond, you are mistaken, and I could clarify if you so wished.
