Programming

 Programming definition

Techopedia defines programming as the process in which logic is used to facilitate computational operations and various tasks using a computer. The process is done using a programming language, and there are several programming languages, each of which differs from the other in terms of applications, scope of use, and writing method.

A program can be defined as a set of ordered commands that a computer follows to carry out certain tasks. The program is placed in a storage medium that the computer can access and read the program from, so that it executes the commands, one by one, and the data that the programmer wants the computer to process and perform operations on is stored.

When a programming language is used to write a specific program, the writing method (in English: Syntax) of the language is adhered to in addition to the various expressions in it. Programming also requires experience in other fields, such as algorithms (in English: Algorithms), for example. A good code written in one programming language can be distinguished from others by four factors, which are as follows:

- durability; What is meant by this is the program's ability to deal with errors in a way that allows it to complete its work despite the existence of these errors.

- reliability; It is achieved through good design and correct inclusion of algorithms.

- efficiency; This is done by optimizing the use of resources such as memory and others.

- Ease of reading the code and the quality of its documentation.
