What Is Coding?: 1. Understanding The World Around You
I'm sure you've come across the hype surrounding coding, and by now, know that it
is related to processing and building up the information that runs our computer and
artificial intelligence aided gadgets.
Coding, in simpler terms, is the language used by computers to understand our
commands and, therefore, process our requests.
Programming is a list of codes arranged in a sequence that results in the completion
of work.
Take, for example, the following analogy - you click on a video app on your
smartphones, and it plays a video.
A program is what brings about the completion of the task 'playing the said video.'
The program is made up of a series of smaller tasks that direct your smartphone to
do the above task and bring it to completion. Each smaller task is written in code,
i.e., the computer language, and that is what coding is all about.
2. Problem-solving
Programming is essentially about creating solutions to the problems faced while
transmitting data. Hence, coding helps you become more apt and creative in
problem-solving.
Coding finds excessive use in popular gadgets such as applications on the phone,
tablets, computers, and other smart gadgets, like smartwatches and smart TV.
Coding is used in automated cars, to control every aspect, from clutches to air
conditioning, to fuel injectors.
System analogs are being employed to streamline procedures at a broader level,
such as controlling sewages, electrical grids, traffic lights, etc.
Coding finds use in every phase of the current world.
