TEXT:00,To create a program on your computer is referred to as "programming".
TEXT:16,You may have also heard of the phrase "coding", which is the same as
TEXT:16,"programming". "Coding" comes from the fact that the instructions
TEXT:16,that make up a program are sometimes referred to as "program code".
TEXT:16,It doesn't really matter what terms you use, just as long as you
TEXT:16,understand what they mean. But exactly what do the individual
TEXT:16,instructions that make up a program look like? And how do we
TEXT:16,enter and group program instructions to create a program?
TEXT:32,Just as all words of our vocabulary make up the English language, a set
TEXT:16,of all related computer instructions make up a programming language
TEXT:16,The one programming language a computer understands is called "binary".
TEXT:16,It's called binary because the program instructions are made up of two
TEXT:16,numbers, 1 and 0, like 100101 for example. Binary language is also
TEXT:16,referred to as "machine language".
