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.

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 ...

We live in a world where everything around us is scheduled, right from getting up in the morning to falling asleep at night everything we do is somehow dependent on time. We can barely imagine a day without time but have you ever wondered what time is and how it became such an inseparable part of our lives. This post is all about time and our perception of time. Photo by  Icons8 team  on  Unsplash What is Time? Time is a quantity that we use to study and understand various concepts of the universe. It is used as a reference in our lives to identify and record events that are occurring every day around us. Time is defined as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. We use the time to represent changes that occur in nature as a series of events. Some even symbolize the time as a flowing river which never stops. The  History of Time measurement Ever since man has noticed the regular m...
