What is Programming? Everything you need to know about programming languages as a beginner.

In today's modern world, you might come across this word a lot of times. We generally refer to this as coding or we come across the all different sort of fascinating names like python, ruby, swift, and the list is endless.


 what exactly is programming and how is it used?

Programming is the process of writing an executable computer program. Computer programs are a set of instructions that are provided to the computer so that it performs a specific task. In simple words, it is a way of telling computers to do things in a specific way.
But we all know the fact that computers don't understand human languages so we have developed some languages for serving this purpose they are called programming languages.
Some examples of programming languages include Python, R, C, C++, Ruby, C#, etc.

Different types of programming languages:

Programming languages are highly specific in terms of application.
A high-level language is used to write programs applications and games while a low-level language is used to write kernels and other types of machine level code. The programming languages which are relatively similar to human readable languages are termed as high-level languages.


Applications of programming:


From the apps and websites we use to the operating systems we see on our phones and computers, everything is created using programming. We could simply say that " Everything software is a product programming ".

That was all about the basics of programming and its applications. It's a really vast field in itself and there's a lot to explore. If you found this post helpful, share your views in the comment's section.

Today we are going to look at all this topic and we shall find if we could ever give wings to our dreams. For understanding this we need to look at how birds and insects fly. Photo by  insung yoon  on  Unsplash How do birds fly with wings? Photo by  Raul Cacho Oses  on  Unsplash Birds are capable of flying because of the evolutionary capabilities that they have attained. Birds have their fore-arms developed into wings that help them to fly. Besides that their bodies are light in weight because they have hollow bones i.e. their bone density is relatively low that makes them lightweight. Their bodies are spindle-shaped which help them fly against air resistance and glide effortlessly with the air current. Some birds have wings which are relatively big and ...

The word Internet is formed by two words 'Inter' and 'Network' which means the interconnection of networks. A network is a group of computers linked together to exchange data and to perform complex operations simultaneously. That simply means that when you're connected to the INTERNET you are actually exchanging data i.e. internet allows communication of devices without a need of a direct physical connection from the user end. Using the Internet 99% of data is transmitted using wires and the remaining 1% uses a wireless mode of transmission.   How the Internet works? The Internet is a very large computer network consisting of servers which are used to store data and wires which are used to ...
