    WHAT EXACTLY IS CODING?
                      Coding  or  programming  is  a  process  of

                      creating  codes  to  instruct  a  computer  to
                      perform a specific task. There can be more
                      than one way to solve the problem; similarly,
                      there are many ways to write code for the

                      same task.

                                              Let see an example:

                                              When you play video on your smartphone. Your smartphone will act
                                              as a computer which needs to be instructed (in this instructions will
                                              be given by the application which plays the video) at each and every
                                              step on what to be done. The application playing the video provides
                                              this instruction via programming language.

                                               Coding fact

                        The first programmer or the first person to write our modern understanding of a
                        program was Ada Lovelace.

                      WHAT IS A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE?
                      Language is the primary means of communication for all human interactions. In the same

                      way, to interact with computers, you need a language which the computer understands and
                      is called a programming language.

                      To communicate with computer, programmers use computer language which is known as

                      programming language. So, programming language can be defined as a set of instructions
                      which are written in any specific computer language to perform a set of activities.
