Programming Computer programming  is the process of designing and building an executable  computer program  to accomplish a specific computing result.   The purpose of  programming  is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate the performance of a task (which can be as complex as an operating system) on a  computer , often for solving a given problem. Programming  is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task.  Programming  can be done using a variety of computer  programming  languages, such as JavaScript, Python, and C++. Coding or Programming? Straight to the point: Though the terms are often used interchangeably,  coding  and  programming  are two different things.  Coding  refers to writing codes for applications, but  programming  is a much broader term.  Programmers  find solutions to problems and determine how they should be solved.
