| Computer programming: Computer programming, also known as coding, is the process of designing and writing instructions that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks. Programmers use programming languages, which are formal languages with a defined syntax and semantics, to create these instructions. Computer programming is used to create software applications, from websites and mobile apps to games and operating systems. See also Software, Computers, Syntax, Semantics, Computer languages._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
