What is the difference between programming and coding
Presented by AMAN KUMAR programmingshark.com
What is coding?
Coding simple means writing codes and a coder is an individual who codes from one language to
another. Coding is also programming but it’s used to implement the initial steps of computer
programming. The term programming is used in a much broader sense, unlike coding which
basically involves writing codes in various languages as instructed. Computers don’t interact in
our language; it only understands the machine code, which is the binary language. So what a
coder does is translate the requirements into a language that a machine will understand. They are
more of a language oriented programmers who translate logics into machine-readable codes.
What is Programming?
Programming means to program a machine or application to run without any errors. Programming
is the common term used to describe the process of feeding machine with a set of instructions to
perform. In simple terms, programming means perfecting a recipe – you manipulate ingredients to
cook a recipe, whereas a computer manipulates data to accomplish a task following a set of
commands. For instance, take a coffee machine. You can program the machine to be coffee-ready
by 9:15 AM. Or take radio, for that matter; you can program the radio to play your favorite
channels. Programming is the bigger picture here which involves more than just writing codes.
Basics of Coding and Programming
While both the terms are synonymous with each other and are often used interchangeably, they
are quite different from each other. Coding simply means writing codes from one language to
another such as from English to Java. It’s less intimidating and less intensive. Programming, on
the other hand, means to program a machine with a set of instructions to run.
Coders vs. Programmers
A coder is someone who translates logics into a language machine will understand. Coding is
more language oriented, whereas programming is different. It’s the bigger picture and a
programmer deals with much more than just writing codes which is just the beginning of what
makes up the tasks of a programmer.
Experience Level in Coding and Programming
As a programmer, you need to map out the scalability of the project to minimize the problems in
the code. For which, a programmer has to get into the minute details like setting up semantics,
analyzing code, designing different patterns, and more. The idea is to save time using minimal
lines o code. Programming is complex which requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of
the language.
Coding vs. Programming: Comparison Chart
Coding Programming
Coding means creating codes from one language to another.
Programming means to program a machine to perform using a set of
instructions.
It’s the primary method to facilitate communication between
humans and machines.
Programming is the formal act of writing code but on a much higher
level.
It’s part of a computer programming procedure which involves
translating requirements into a machine-readable language.
Programming is the bigger picture which involves everything from
compiling and debugging to testing and implementation.
A coder compartmentalizes lines of code without worrying about
the details.
The job of a programmer is to conceptualize and analyze solutions of
the problems before they occur.
Coders are programmers but with less expertise.
Programmers are skilled professionals who work on substantial logic
to solve complex problems.
