Do computers operate on single code? No, they operate on many codes (ie binary, windows, word, etc)...in other words computers have codes upon codes upon codes.

Let's hear it from Mr. Computer Science.

Are you suggesting that the executables of programs like Word are distributed in some form other than binary machine code?

There are, of course, script languages, but CPUs do not read scripts except as a byproduct of executing a script interpreter.

That doesn’t change the fact that you have codes layered on top of each other, each with a different purpose and function. Do you deny this? In fact, if DNA is anything close to the biological equivalent of binary, it may turn out to be the least sophisticated code of all.
