There are so many computer programming languages is there a computer that can understand more than one of them?

I wouldn't say that it is complex.The whole process is a bit length, but prettly easy to understand.But you dont need to know, unless you actually know, what are you looking for.

Your CPU reads in Machine Language.. That is Binary 1's and 0's. Then their is assembly language, and then their is high level language. So programming languages such as PHP, Java, etc are High-Level languages that get broken down into assembly language, then into machine language to be interpreted by the CPU. It is quite complex to understand this, and only few people in the world can actually read assembly language.Languages are also built of other languages as well. I forget the examples, but they do exist.

Hi Peter,the core of your computer understands just one language, and it's not even a standard programming language, it's a machine language. All programming languages are compiled or interpreted for machine language, so that your computer can run the programs.Multiple programming languages routinely come together on one computer as different applications are typically programmed in varying programming languages.Hope that answers your question.Sources:http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/programming_language.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language
