Best Answer

Programming is giving a computer instructions with a programming language such as Python, C#, BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc. and saving the code into a text document (.txt) or a file with a language specific extension like .py(Python) .cpp(C++), .com(Assembly language (communicating directly with the computers processor)) ,.bas(BASIC) that the computer CANNOT understand, however using an interpreter runs the code without creating an object file(.exe). Compiling that code with a compiler turns that language syntax into machine code (0's and 1's, or in the world of Microsoft, .exe, short for executable) which the computer understands and WILL RUN.

Programming looks like:

C++ (infamous for a reason :P):

#include // <---input and output stream

// comment (ignored by compiler)

int main(); //

{

/* BLOCK COMMENT */

}

and BASIC (my favorite language):

PRINT "Hello!"

END

And THAT is programming
