    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.
