                      What is Coding?

                      Coding or programming is the 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.

                               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 known as Machine
                      Language.

                      Set  of  instructions  given  to  the  computer  to  perform  a  specific  task  is  known  as  Program.  The
                      language using which we write a program is known as Programming Language.
                      Programming languages have syntax. Syntax is the same as grammar in any language.
