Excerpt from An Introduction to Computer Software
A Computer is a procedure (or algorithm) for performing some computation. This procedure must be written In, or translatable Into the machine language of a given machine for us to be able to perform (or run) the program on that machine.
In our discussion here It will sometimes prove useful to be able to draw an analogy between human (or natural) languages and machine languages. In doing so we must remember not to stretch the analogy too far. If for no reason other than the fact that computer languages are usually a great deal more precise than natural languages and thus such analogies are bound to break down.
The languages of different computers differ from one another In ways parallel to natural language. Some of them look very different from one another while others share some resemblance. As a general rule, however, the languages differ enough so that a procedure expressed In the machine language of a given machine cannot be performed or understood by a different machine. This Is analogous to asking someone who only understands English to execute a procedure written In French.
