Hey here is your long answer it’s worth for 25 points
If this question can be framed as a chicken-and-egg problem, we’ll start with the egg. The origin of many languages (such as BASIC, my first language) begins with the impetus to make programming concepts easier for beginners and hobbyists and human beings in general to grasp. The language computers actually “think” in is binary code. The reason for this is simple: If you break all your instructions to the machine into “yes” or “no” questions, represented by 1 or 0, then it’s impossible for the computer to mess up (unless of course your code is wrong.) This brilliant innovation came from a guy named Claude Shannon, who realized after WWII that radio signals (which fade in and out) were terribly unreliable vector for important information, like the kind you might send to be stored or processed by a computer.
