What is Programming?

Programming is the process of writing code to solve problems.
Below is a simple flowchart to show how code may be converted into program.

graph LR
  A[Start]
  B["Type a code in"]
  C["Converted to binary (0/1)"]
  D["Syntax Error"]
  E["CPU processes them, giving output"]
  A --> B
  B -- Valid Code ---> C --> E
  B -- Invalid Code --> D

Why do we program?

Programming gives convenience to our everyday lives.
With code, transportation, banking and food delivery applications are made possible.

Logic

Programming is relatively easy, once you pick up the basics.
