- Beginner’s Explanation: Programming is like giving instructions to a computer to make it do things you want. It’s like teaching your computer to follow a recipe.
- Practical Example: Imagine you’re writing a set of step-by-step instructions for a robot to make a sandwich. That’s what programming is all about!
- Advanced Explanation: Programming involves writing a sequence of instructions using a programming language to perform specific tasks or solve problems. It requires a deep understanding of logic, algorithms, and the syntax of the chosen language. Programmers create software applications, games, websites, and more by translating human intentions into a language that computers can understand and execute.
