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. 1.
    Turn right by 90 degrees
  2. 2.
    Move forward by 15 centimeters
  3. 3.
    Stop
  4. 4.
    Turn left by 10 degrees
  5. 5.
    Move forward by 20 centimeters
  6. 6.
    Stop
