-
Machine language as a programming code, either written by man or compiled, to be executed directly by a machine, the computer, with no further conversion or translation. Also known as an executable. Nearly all commercially-sold shrink-wrapped software is an executable, in machine code. Any defect or bug necessitates a code change, typically back at the software owner's shop.
