Computer Programing
Programing a computer is simply giving the computer instructions on what to do. Using programing languages, you can wright a program to do just about anything. There are severel types of programing languages, and they all have diferent purposes.
Programing languages include words, individual letters, numbers, and other symbols. All the programing languages have rules about how you can put things together with them.
The differenet programing languages can make diferent programs, and more and more languages are created as needed. When the internet was created, for example, the programing language HTML was created. This webpage is made entirely of html. All of the code for html is inside greater then and less then signs. As an example, to put a picture on a web page you would write(inside a greater then and a less then) img src="www.where_ever_the_picture_is.com". You can see more code by ether right clicking on a page and selecting view source, or if your using a machintosh go up to view and select page source.
After the programer has finished wrighting the program, the code is run through a compiler to translate it into machine language. This makes it so the computer can understand the program. Some programs are translated every time a program is run. This is done with another program, called an interpreter.
