   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

   Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It involves designing and implementing algorithms , step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages .

4. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

   In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in that language. This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code, and to markup languages, where the document represents data.

6. Computer program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program

   A computer program is a sequence or set [a] of instructions in a programming language for a computer to execute. It is one component of software, which also includes documentation and other intangible components. [1] A computer program in its human-readable form is called source code.

7. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

   Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program.Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.

8. Hard coding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding

   One important case of hard coding is when strings are placed directly into the file, which forces translators to edit the source code to translate a program. (There is a tool called gettext that permits strings to be left in files, but lets translators translate them without changing the source code; it effectively de-hard codes the strings.)

9. Compiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

   An interpreter is computer software that transforms and then executes the indicated operations. [2]: p2 The translation process influences the design of computer languages, which leads to a preference of compilation or interpretation. In theory, a programming language can have both a compiler and an interpreter.
