Programming Computer programming is the process of performing a particular computation (or more generally, accomplishing a specific computing result), usually by designing and building an executable computer program . Programming involves tasks such as analysis, generating algorithms , profiling algorithms' accuracy and resource consumption, and the implementation of algorithms (usually in a chosen programming language , commonly referred to as coding ). The source code of a program is written in one or more languages that are intelligible to programmers , rather than machine code , which is directly executed by the central processing unit . 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 pro...
