== Relationship to Other Languages ==
Since machine language is the only type of code which can be directly executed by a CPU, all programs written in other languages are ultimately converted into to machine language in some way.
'''Interpreted languages''', such as bash, are not converted into machine code, but blocks of machine code within the interpreter are selectively invoked to perform the operations stated in the program or script.
