CODE

Creating computer programs to perform a specific task using a particular computer language, that’s programming language that the computer understand, let’s say like Python 🐍 as a programming language, the computer understands the syntax but still it will convert it to machine language that 0s and 1s for better understanding, the the best language the computer understand.

Programmers use IDEs that’s Integrated Development Environment when writing code, this IDE converts a high level language like Python into a machine language with interpreter and compiler.

Defining code from Wikipedia;

“In communications and information processing, code is a system of rules to convert information—such as a letter, word, sound, image, or gesture—into another form, sometimes shortened or secret, for communication through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium. An early example is an invention of language, which enabled a person, through speech, to communicate what they thought, saw, heard, or felt to others. But speech limits the range of communication to the distance a voice can carry and limits the audience to those present when the speech is uttered. The invention of writing, which converted spoken language into visual symbols, extended the range of communication across space and time.

The process of encoding converts information from a source into symbols for communication or storage. Decoding is the reverse process, converting code symbols back into a form that the recipient understands, such as English or/and Spanish.

One reason for coding is to enable communication in places where ordinary plain language, spoken or written, is difficult or impossible. For example, semaphore, where the configuration of flags held by a signaler or the arms of a semaphore tower encodes parts of the message, typically individual letters, and numbers. Another person standing a great distance away can interpret the flags and reproduce the words sent. " ^Source

There’s a lot to talk about this but I just hope you can find out more from Wikipedia, coding is different from programming, coding is some kind writing codes, l programming is instructing the computer to person a particular task using programs.

Thank you all for reading and hope something beneficial or sensible is made out of this post, next post on C stands for will be Coffee
Stu connected and stay blessed 😇
