First, let us tackle down the definition of computer programming. Computer programming is a process of writing data, debugging codes, troubleshooting, and maintaining the source codes of computer programs. It is also known as writing instructions, which makes the computer follow and function based on the coded instructions.
Now, how does computer programming work?
Basically, instructions are composed of a series of on and off commands that a computer follows by sending these commands to the processor which in turn, switches on and off according to the code received. On and off commands are written in programming language is represented by 1 for on and 0 for off. This coding was developed in the early stages of computer programming, it is simple and easy to create. An example of a program would look like this "1010100100101111010101010101".
In these age of high technology, computer programmers are very in demand. Business companies, small and large, have a need for their expertise.
Computer programmers are grouped into two broad types. Application programmers usually focus on business, engineering, and/ or science. They also develop programs to handle specific jobs like tracking inventory within an organization. And, revise existing package software as needed. While system programmers maintain and control computer system software, such as operating systems, network systems and database systems. They make changes in the sets of instructions that determine how the network, workstations and central processing units (CPU). They also handle various jobs in relation to peripheral equipment, such as terminals, printers, and disk drives.
Without these workers or what we call computer programmers, business industries would never be successful. They are the ones who maintain the computer systems that help in running business transactions smoothly.
