What is programming?

Let's know what is Programming...

Before we try to answer this question, let's discuss a scenario.. In a office, whenever the officer feels thirsty, asks the office-boy to give him a glass of water. The another scenario could be that , the officer has instructed the office-boy to keep ready a glass of water everyday on his table.

In the first scenario, the task is been done manually, where as in the second scenario the task is done automatically... which one is better ?

obviously... automatic...

So, from the example cited here, it is clear that, if you want to make some task or process take automatically, we need to develop a set on instructions and feed it.

Thus, developing a set instructions and then feeding it, to make the process automatic, is called programming.. If the instructions developed are fed to a computer machine, then it is called computer programming...

You can notice what is manual and automatic from following images...
