Description

Programming is a process of writing instructions for a computer to execute. It’s often said that programming is like telling someone how to build something out of Lego blocks, where the person who uses the blocks doesn’t know what they’re going to do with them until they see the picture you drew on paper.

The purpose of programming is to automate a task on a computer.

Programming instructions are written in some form of code that can be easily understood by the computer, which then performs the tasks defined by those instructions.

Implementing software requires programmers to write programs that solve problems and perform tasks for users and businesses.

There are three major types of programming languages: procedural, object-oriented, and functional.
