1001 10101011

Advantages:

• Computer directly understands the code written in this language therefore execution speed is fast
•  Efficient use of primary memory

 Disadvantages:

• Difficult to learn and program.
• The program becomes very lengthy and difficult to locate the errors.
• Easy to make mistake and difficult to debug.
• Machine language is machine dependent. Programs written in machine language in one machine cannot be easily transferred to other machines.
• Programmer should have detail knowledge of how computer works.
