Coding
Coding: is the process of using a programming language to get a computer to behave how you want it to. Every line of code tells the computer to do something, and a document full of lines of code is called a script. Each script is designed to carry out a job. In a more general sense, the word coding is used to refer to assigning a code or classification to something.
