What is programming?

Programming is the way to organize the activities in such a way that it gives the desired results. Seems bit confusing but we do this everyday in our life. For example our desired result is to get ready for school. How do we achieve these results. See the  steps below.

  1. Get up from bed
  2. Go to wash room
  3. Get dressed ( wear uniform )
  4. Wear shoes (School Shoes )
  5. Eat breakfast
  6. Pack your school bag
Now you are ready to go school. From analyzeing above six steps we can clearly see that the sequence of these steps is essential to achieve the desired result. Although we can change few steps here up and down, it would not change the end result but it may be not the good idea to accomplish the job. For example if you get dressed before going to wash room then you cant take shower.

Similarly when we do programming in computer we keep the same idea of programming in our mind. The Sequence of Activities with low resource overheads.
