This episode is brought to you by CuriosityStream. Hi, I’m Carrie Anne and welcome to CrashCourse Computer Science! So far, for most of this series, we’ve focused on hardware -- the physical components of computing -- things like: electricity and circuits, registers and RAM, ALUs and CPUs. But programming at the hardware level is cumbersome and inflexible, so programmers wanted a more versatile way to program computers - what you might call a “softer” medium. That’s right, we’re going to talk about Software! INTRO In episode 8, we walked through a simple program for the CPU we designed. The very first instruction to be executed, the one at memory address 0, was 0010 1110. As we discussed, the first four bits of an instruction is the operation code,...
