What Is Programming?
It’s all about writing code. Programming is a process in which we organize data and use logic to do something with those data. The data are everything a computer can store; they can range from numbers to zombie characters in a video game. You do this by writing text into files called source code. Source code written into text files replaces punch cards used by the computing machines half a century ago. When data are combined with logic and then written into a single file, they’re called a class. Classes are also data, and as such can be managed with more logic. Classes are used to create objects in the computer’s memory and can be duplicated to have a life of their own. Classes are used to build objects. Each piece of data within the class becomes a part of that object. Different chunks of data inside of a class are called class members. Class members can also be chunks of logic called functions or methods. For Example, in a game with a horde of zombies, each zombie is...
