Facts about coding or programming

As the technology is growing day by day and taking over the world, coding has become the as necessary skill as reading and writing. Coding has been such a necessary skill that even children are learning coding before they pass out from the high schools. Coding and programming have become such a important part of our life that even from opening the door to driving a car include the use of coding.

There is no doubt that technology is taking more and more control over peoples life, Coding has become the most necessary skill for peoples for ease of their daily activity from using app on their mobile phone to driving their car with automated system integrated in it. However, coding is not that easy to learn as well as to implement it to solve the daily life problems. You will need years of practice to become a professional coder and use your coding skill to solve the real world problem.

Here, we have included the most interesting facts about coding and programming so they will lead you to easily understand the coding and the world of coding.

1. First programming language

FORTRAN was the first programming language created in 1964. It was developed by the team of Mr.John Backus, an american computer scientist. This language is still in use to help computer scientist to solve complex problems such as geophysics, crystallography, computational chemistry etc.

2. 700 separate programming languages

There are more than seven hundred programming language in the world. However there are still new programming languages are being created. Every programming language is created to solve specific as well as general kind of problems such as Javascript is created to solve the problem of web applications, python was created to solve the problem of data analysis, build software, conduct automated task etc.

3. First computer programmer

The world's first computer programmer was female mathematician Ada Lovelace. She was extremely talented mathematician, she had also worked with the famous mechanical engineer Charles Babbage.

4. Coding increases the brain power

Learning coding has hundreds of benefits Creativity, Problem solving skills, Learning to how to learn are some of the benefits you will gain along with the coding skill.

5. Programming language share same structure

Most of the programming languages share same types of structure. Every programming language have concepts like functions, variables, data types, classes, objects etc. That makes the programmer to learn new languages in market easily if they already have good grip on one programming language.

6. Coding is Everywhere

Coding is behind almost everything powered by electricity including simple door switch to automated driving system which include advanced artificial intelligence.

7. Coding is becoming necessary skill for all peoples.

Learning how to code has become as necessary skill as reading and writing now days. Because of the use of coding everywhere in our surrounding coding is becoming the necessary skill to handle the situations around peoples.

8. Coding is all 0 & 1

Binary code 0 and 1 are the only possible state in digital computers where one representing the on and zero representing the off. In coding programming language syntax is first converted into the 0 and 1, This series of electrical pulses(0&1) that represent numbers, characters, and operations to be performed.

9. Highest Paying job

Coding or Programming is considered as the one of the highest paying job in the world. An average salary of a programmer is about $63,000 in US. Salary of programmer may be more or less according to Country where they are working.

10. First Computer bug was an actual bug

First recorded bug was an actual bug. these days, when something wrong happens within coding was considered as a bug, In US navy when the computer Mark II began to work ineffectively a closer examination of that computer led to an actual bug which was causing the computer operation inefficiency.

11. Coding can make you Billionaire or Millionaire

There are several examples that single applications or software have been sold for million dollar. Although, it takes entrepreneurship skill as well to make an application to billion dollar application.
