Computer programming is a way to make computers do different tasks. It is a process of writing a set of instructions (also known as code) that a machine can understand and making the machine follow them. The end goal might be to solve a mathematical equation, automate a boring task, or create a web page, a piece of software, a mobile app, or a whole game.
