Unfortunately it's the answer to a question that nobody asked. It's not the correct answer to what you actually posted. >To be sure, I know what machine code is. The evidence suggests otherwise. >I used the term in the general sense. The "general sense" would have been machine language on more than just the 704. Pointing to assembler code as an example of machine language just makes you look less than Frank. >Here, the intent was to point out that the algorithm was not first >implemented in Algol.
