Question: What is coding?

Deepak Kar answered on 14 Mar 2014:

Right. So in our everyday research, we often have to solve very complicated math problems. So complicated and big that your calculator wont be able to do it. So we use computers, and we write things called programs. A computer program is nothing but a series of command to the computer. For example, lets say I give you 100 numbers, and ask you to order them from the largest to the smallest. Your calculator cant do it. But you can ask a computer to compare the first two numbers and put the larger one first. Then keep doing this for all numbers until for they are arranged in order! That is an example of a program, or a code. So coding is basically writing these programs to do complicated, but repetitive tasks with a computer.
