Coding is simply the process or activity of writing computer programs. It is all about the process of assigning a code to something for classification or identification. Coding is a skill where you take instructions and translate them into a language the computer understands since the computer is not able to communicate like humans. They communicate in a language called BINARY and it only uses ‘0’ and ‘1’.
Coding is a part of programming that deals with converting language into binary commands for the machine. There are several benefits of coding and programming, the careers have great earning profit, demand remains strong for coding related jobs, coding ability gives a new perspective to the problem -solving, learning to code can help up new areas of opportunity in the career and make you more flexible, learning to code can be fun bonding opportunity for families, coding can be useful in jobs you might not expect.
