Basic way to explain this.
You have a computer a tower with all hardware inside cpu harddrive memory.
On the outside of this computer are input and output or called the  i/o,
In this computer is a flash bios software allowing you to install the os of choice
Paid Windows or free linux.
The computer works by sending electrical pulses to transistors and microprocessors
This is simply done using software called an ide and a human writing text code called source code and converting it into ones and zeros by the compiler called binary/machine code 
the electrical pulse sends  0 is off 1 is on
Once the os of choice is installed the hardware needs drivers to interact with the os
Drivers are software that sends data and receives it

notes to self be better.

one of the hardest things when learning computer science 
80% of the teachers are teaching you like your already a developer
when teaching some one something new make it simple
so simple even a young person could understand 
and if you cant do that
you simply don't know it well enough to teach others.
you simply have a method that works for only you and that's ok.
what works for you don't always work for others.

do not confuse a professinal coder with a hobbist coder they are diffrent 
ones a job the other a hobby for fun.
learning to code its a huge challenge and a big achievment
why should i learn to code ? becouse everyone has a unquie way of thinking
and that makes unquie scripts.
 and yes you can do it no matter what age you are or iQ level 
even if you suck at math or spelling 
its why spell check and calculators were invented.
and the more you do something the better you get at it.
after awhile spell check and calculators are not needed so much.

os Linux mint
open text editor
copy this and paste in to Text Editor.

#!/bin/bash
bash -c 'while true;
do
echo ctrl
echo and
echo c

this is just the most simple way to explain this process
so whats really going on here with code?

human code is called source code computer code is called machine code.

ok so you write code 

in your IDE and run that code it

then sends it to the compiler
