What is coding?
The process of designing and creating various sets of computer programmes in order to achieve a particular computing goal is known as coding. The process includes a number of tasks, including analysis, coding, algorithm design, accuracy testing, and resource usage analysis. To solve a particular problem on a computer, a set of instructions must be found using computer programming.
If done properly, coding is fairly simple. Selecting the best programming language is a difficult undertaking because there are numerous programming languages for computers.
Basics of coding
The most widely used and recognised human language is English. There are certain grammatical rules for the English language that must be adhered to while writing in that language.
In a similar vein, all other human languages (such as German, Spanish, Russian, etc.) are composed of a variety of words such as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, propositions, and conjunctions. Programming languages therefore have a variety of components, much like English, Spanish, and other human languages.
Programming languages adhere to syntax, which is the same grammar as that found in human languages. There are some fundamental parts of every programming language's source code that are the same.
The key elements of coding languages are:
Coding environment
Data types
Variables
Operators
Conditional statements
Loops
Functions
