what is programming

Programming is the process to give  instruction to a computer to perform task.

Programming is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This code can be written in a variety of computer programming languages. Some of these languages include Java, C, c#, and Python. 

Computer code is a collection of typed words that the computer can clearly understand. Just as a human translator might translate from the English language to Spanish, the computer interprets these words as ones and zeros. 

We as humans use programming languages, instead of writing directly in ones and zeros, so we can easily write and understand the computer code and can organize it. We can think of the different lines of our code as being individual instructions that we give to the computer. 

To create website, games, application etc , we need to use programming.

Computer understands only binary code (0/1) and programmers uses high-level languages (similar to English language ). Compiler changes high-level language programming code into binary code.
