# 1. Introduction ### What is Coding? Computer programming, also known as coding, is giving a set of instruction for a computer to perform some actions. For example, a computer does not know how to connect to the internet and download files on its own, and so we ***code*** (or ***program***) a set of instructions for it to do that. The act of writing a set of computer instructions is called ***coding*** (or ***programming***). What do these instructions look like? You can imagine coding a simple computer toy-car; to move it from point A to point B, you need to give it instructions like: 1. Turn right by 90 degrees 2. Move forward by 15 centimeters 3. Stop 4. Turn left by 10 degrees 5. Move forward by 20 centimeters 6. Stop --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
