Purpose of Programming

In this blog post I will be writing about programming and what it’s used in.

People use programming for a number of things, they could include computer programmes such as PowerPoint or Photoshop. Also it can be used within games such as iOS, Playstation and Xbox. It can also be used in Sat Navs or basically anything that can be programmed.

There are millions of different types of code in one game which control every aspect of the game from character movement to environment background.

There are 2 types of code, one is called Complied and the other is Interpreted.

 Compiled:

There are many different types of languages when inputting a code an examples of those could be C++, C# and Objective C. When you input a code it gets transferred into the compiler which it gets turned into another computer language. After this it gets transferred into an Executable machine code which talks to the computer this is why you would see an “.EXE” in the files.

Interpreted:

When you input a code into an interpreter it uses the language HTML or Javascript. Also when in the interpreter it converts the code into something viewable this could be a web browser. Once this has happened it then results in viewing the code as a web page.
