No we cannot execute any program without the interface for hardware.

Operating system is a must.Please suggest.

Of course you can!

A program needs to be written in machine codes of course and you will need means to get it into the memory. In fact the operating system itself is a program and it loads without any PREVIOUS operationg system.

Depends on what type of program you are talking about.

you can run a simple hello world if it's written in machine language but it won't be simple program. you have deal with resource and memory etc. etc.

but if you are talking about 2 line C code ... then answer is NO you can't.

I think it is possible if you have binary of that code and you put that binary at the time of Booting the system. If it is simple .c or .cpp file then it is not possible.

Why not? We can execute programes without operation system 'cause many machines like automatic washing machines microwave and many other device do not have operating system but they execute program 'cause programs are implemented in there chip.

RE: Can we execute any simple program without installi...
No! we can not run any simple program with out using any interface such as operatin systen or System software. but in some cases like Machine level languge or firmware run without any software because it directlly communicate with hardware and makes the hardware active so other program can run using his platform.
