How did anyone teach themselves to program a computer to teach people who don't know how to do math and don't know how to program how to do math and how to program?

@lego - You fail at paradox making. Let me fix that.
How did anyone teach themselves to program a computer if they didn't know math that allowed them to program math into a computer that knew math and could use it to program a computer with the ability to use math to program people who knew math and could program math into computers who knew math. |

Well, you would have to look this one up because I don't know. Computers were made back back then. Not like, 1400's(though that would be cool) but lets say they weren't made in the 2000 >. Though, these days computers are really fast. So they calculate things differently from humans. Computers are smart but not wide eyed. Finally, remember that if there is an error in your script and you want to argue trust me. You won't win that fight.
Got a little bit off topic but WHATEVER :P |

| miz, computers were first introduced in the 1950s. They had no monitors, they took up a whole room, the internet didn't exist yet, and pretty much only the government and a few big companies had them. 2000? What planet are you living on? :P |

I meant they weren't made in the year 2000 above.
If internet was not introduced then it would be janky for me . . .
Ah, the world always improves. |

The internet was introduced in the 80s, and people STILL didn't use them much. |

| what would the code look like is what I mean, HOW did they program computers to do math, even calculators. |

| Computers "do math" on the hardware level, by using binary which is super easy to operate with. |

| Yep. They convert the numbers to binary, do the math, and convert them back to decimal. |

@Lego Yes. Do you input binary directly into your calculator? I think not.

I've attempted it once, didn't output anything that I was looking for though. Quite strange really, I have a scientific calculator. [/stupidity]

It is decimal, decimal are the 10 numbers (0 through 9) you use, binary only uses 2, octal 8, hexadecimal (hexa = 6, decimal = 10 = 16) uses 16 (0 through 15, where 10 through 15 are A through F)... ETC, google actually shows you how math is done in binary, its quite interesting:
0 + 0 = 0 0 + 1 || (or) 1 + 0 = 1 1 + 1 = 10
(note the example below doesn't use the usual byte (8 bit ( 8 digit binary))
..0101101 + (1 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 32 = 45) ..1110100 = (0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 + 32 + 64 = 116) 10100001 (1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 128 = 161) |

| And just FYI, every time you add 0 to the end of binary it doubles |
