What is computer coding and how does code work


What is a computer?

A computer is a machine used to process information that is stored as bits on the electronic device, known as a memory chip or hard disk.

How does computer work? 

Most of us have a vague idea of how computers work - these days it's basically things like turning electrical impulses into logical information. And then onto much magic stuff we can't understand. Or maybe you have to be a technical geek to understand. But is it really that complicated?

Computer models help us understand the computer. In this story, we'll learn about some of the tools that make it possible. If you want a more in-depth explanation of a particular tool, then you can try this link and work out what the click in the second video explains.

What is computer coding?

It is a branch of computer science which teaches you how to create computer software, specifically programming. Code is a series of steps, known as commands, in order to create computer programs.

How does code work?

In computer coding you need to create a program or design a computer algorithm, which, when executed, will run. Essentially code allows a computer program to run and make changes.

Just like a recipe is simply instructions on how to make a cake, computer coding is similar. This coding involves words and symbols that form a series of commands, which tells a computer to do things.

Sending a message in a bottle in the middle of the ocean

So basically the digital world is really just a description of how computers work. This makes the digital world of computers a very different world compared to the analog world.

When you speak to a phone, the electronic voice is just instructions that the phone takes and acts on. Whereas when you program a program for your PC it gives you instructions, which can be played back by a keyboard.

Again the codes that are sent between humans or computers are just a set of instructions. This sets up a series of steps in order to send a message in the middle of the ocean.
