Programming is the process of designing and building executable computer software to accomplish
a specific task or solve a problem.
Programming is like giving instructions to a computer to perform tasks.
A program is a set of instructions that a computer follows to perform a specific task.
Programs are written using programming languages.
Some popular programming languages include Python, JavaScript, C, C++, Java, etc.
To write a program, you use a text editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which helps
you write and manage your code.
Developing a program is a structured process that involves several stages.
Programming languages are special languages that allow us to communicate with computers and tell
them what to do.
Converting an algorithm into a program involves translating the step-by-step instructions from the
algorithm into actual code that can be executed by a computer.
