TimeSquirrel,

Human readable code:

// do stuff 100 times
for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++) {
do.stuff();
}

After compiling might look like:

1011 1100 1011 1011 and so on and so forth, which corresponds directly to cells in a memory chip being switched on or off, which are the instructions that get fed to your CPU to do everything your program does in the machine.
