Computer programming is the process within computer science whereby a graphic representation of the steps we take to solve a problem is turned into a set of instructions a machine can understand. The programming code is written in a particular language that provides a structure for the programmer and uses specific instructions to control the sequence of operations that the machine will carry out.

The first step in programming is to come up with a plan or algorithm for solving the problem. This algorithm is usually represented by a flowchart or pseudocode, which is a series of notes that represent …
