Computer programming: Computer programming, also known as coding, is the process of designing and writing instructions that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks. Programmers use programming languages, which are formal languages with a defined syntax and semantics, to create these instructions. Computer programming is used to create software applications, from websites and mobile apps to games and operating systems.
