Coding Definition

Coding is the process of devising commands which are to be followed by computers for process execution. Or rather, the coding would amount to no less than talking to the computer in some bizarre programming languages and commanding the computer to do different things, from simple calculations to the most complicated computations. Coding is more or less analogous to scripting the set of commands that have to be performed by the computer system in a procedural manner. The written commands which can be written in a programming language are called code.

The programmers do use different languages: Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, and many others, characteristic in syntax and a unique system of rules. This is followed by the development of algorithm, based on the analysis which a programmer makes regarding the problem to be solved he/she will develop a sequence of steps which will solve the problem in a better way.

These are then translated into some programming language, and the programmer codes using the help of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). The first step involves the writing of the code then compiling it so that it becomes machine-readable instructions which a computer can act upon.
