What Is computer
programming
Computer programming(often shortened toprogramming) is a process
that leads from an original formulation of acomputingproblem toexecutable
computer programs. Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing
understanding, generatingalgorithms, verification of requirements of algorithms
including their correctness and resources consumption, and implementation
(commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of algorithms in a targetprogramming
language.Source codeis written in one or moreprogramming languages(such asC
,Fortran,JavaScript,Lisp,Python,Ruby,Smalltalk,etc.). The purpose of
programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate performing a
specific task or solving a given problem. The process of programming thus often
requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the
application domain, specializedalgorithmsandformal logic.
Related tasks includetesting,debugging, and maintaining thesource code,
implementation of the build system, and management of derived artifacts such as
machine codeofcomputer programs. These might be considered part of the
programming process, but often the term "software development" is used for this
larger process with the term "programming", "implementation", or "coding"
reserved for the actual writing of source code.Software engineeringcombines
engineeringtechniques with software development practices.
