What's computer programming

[Ramine]

Hello,


I was thinking more, and i have come to an interesting subject..

I was asking myself what`s computer programming ?

And after i have learned to program and after i have invented many
algorithms and parallel libraries ...

I think i am able now to define more what is computer programming...

I will define it like the following:

Computer programming is like "robotics", when you construct a robot
you have to give it legs and hands and motors etc. and you have to learn
it how to behave by incorporating in it "knowledge" to give it the
ability to behave in different ways: such as walk , and jump etc. so
computer programming is like robotics , because when you construct a
computer program it is like constructing a robot, you have to construct
every parts of the program by constructing "objects" and there
"properties", and you have to give your program "knowlege" by
implementing the "methods" of the objects to give your program the
ability to behave in different ways, like a robot... this is how i can
define programming , it's like robotics...



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.

I don't agree with you..

Because what's a physical robot ? and what's a computer ?


When you construct a computer program , you also move and mix and
work with bit and bytes and you also do measurements on the bits and
bytes and on conceptual representations and numerical representations of
physical objects to construct other objects from bits and bytes and from
objects and from methods and conceptual representations and numerical
representations of physical objects and you have to incorporate
knowledge in it to give it the ability to behave in different ways... so
a computer program is like a physical microprocessor or a computer or a
robot, because to construct a them have to move and mix the matter and
to work with matter and do measurements on the matter to construct
physical representations (from a concept also), and you have to
incorporate in them "knowledge" to give them the ability to behave in
different ways: so computer programs are like a physical
microprocessors, or physical computers or a physical robots...
