Is programming a science

[Ramine]

Hello,

Is programming a science..

We have to be smart and do also do philosophy to answer this question
my dear programmer...

The goal of philosophy is to use logic and measure to understand the
essence of the things.

This is how we must understand programming..

So to understand the essence of programming, it's also
to understand the building blocks of programming, but
since the building block of programming is also mathematical
logic and also discrete mathematics and also mathematics that
permit us to calculate also the big O space and time complexity,
so the essence of real programming must not come without
this mathematics, so since it is mathematics that gouvern
real programming, so real programming is also science.

Other than that when we say this:

Take for example mathematical logic, you will learn for example
in mathematical logic that:

p -> q

is equivalent to:

not(q) -> not(p)

because it is infered mathematically from:

p -> q

is equivalent to:

not(p) or q

So this higher level logic permit us to formalize logic, so
a higher level understanding of logic is also science, because
for example: p -> q is equivalent to not(q) -> not(p) permit
us to prove efficiently, so that is also science, so a higher
level understanding of discrete mathematics and mathematical logic
is also science, and so a higher level understanding of what
is the big O of mergesort and using mergesort in high level
manner constitute also science, because the consequence
that is a higher level quality in the higher level understanding
is a good approximation of what constitute also science, so
when you learn what is the big O of datastructures and
understand and work with them in higher level manner is
called also modeleling and this modeling constitute
also a good approximation of what is science.

So i think that programming is also science.
