    Assembly is, I believe, the lowest level of language that can be used to program a PIC.
    Assembler is still a higher level, albiet not very high. Hex is the only actual language the PIC understands. I had to code in hex WAAYYY back in collage for 8085's. Man it was crap! basically write the code in mnumonics, then convert it all to hex. Then input it on a development do-hicky that had a 16 key keypad and (6) 7 segment displays. We did really cool stuff like hard code 2 plus 3 and display it.

    But it had it's place in my learning, I still remember how to multiplex the display to make all of them look on at once.

    Actually, binary is the only language that the PIC (and every MCU) understands.

    Actually, they don't understand anything... they're just lambs... they do what your compiled code ask them... and sometimes... not what YOU want

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.

    How are they able to do what your compiled code asks them to if they do not understand anything?

    For two reasons, the first being exactly for the same reason why children hate cauliflower the really first time they see some in their plate.

    Second one being the answer to the following question:
    Why when I buy soft cookie they become hard, but when I buy hard one they become soft?
