Certainly! Let’s explore the difference between coding and programming:

1. Coding:

Definition: Coding refers to the task of writing code or specifically defined technical language so
that a computer or system can understand it.
Process: Coders translate instructions from human language into a language that machines can
comprehend. This code tells the computer how to behave and what actions to perform.
Example: Here’s a simple Python code snippet that converts any PDF into an audiobook:
import PyPDF2
import pyttsx3
from tkinter.filedialog import *

book = askopenfilename()
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(book)
pages = pdfReader.numPages

for num in range(0, pages):


page = pdfReader.getPage(num)
text = page.extractText()

speak = pyttsx3.init()
speak.say(text)
speak.runAndWait()

Languages: Coding involves using programming languages like Python, Java, Go, PHP, or
JavaScript.

2. Programming:

Definition: Programming is the process of creating instructions that tell the computer how to
perform specific tasks. It’s like providing a set of rules for the computer to follow.
Analogy: Think of programming as being similar to a remote control for your TV. You press
different buttons to give instructions (e.g., changing channels, adjusting volume). Similarly,
programmers instruct computers to perform various tasks.
Versatility: With programming, you can do almost anything, from programming robots to self-
driving cars like Tesla.
Languages: Programming also involves using programming languages like Python, Java, C++,
and others.

In summary, coding forms the foundation for computer programs, while programming uses code to solve
specific problems. If coding is like writing in a different language, programming is having a greater mastery of
that language and understanding how to use it effectively . So, both coding and programming are essential
skills in software development. Feel free to ask if you’d like more information or have any other questions! 😊
