Every thing a computor does is worked out by only combinatios of two numbers 0 & 1.

looks something like this 0000 11 0111 0r whatever this is called machine language, programers use various other languages  Basic being one of the easiest, as you use words and instructions, which the computor changes to machine language.

Hope this helps.
