COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

Computer programmers use programming languages to write, test, and maintain code. These tech professionals create programs and software that a large number of people use everyday. Computer programmers work independently as part of larger software teams. Together with software developers and engineers, programmers create the instructions computers use to execute tasks. a programmer's job also includes finding bugs, eliminating errors, and troubleshooting issues. These professionals need a detail-oriented and creative outlook, along with skills in several programming languages.

The whole concept of computer science is to teach us tools which we can use to learn new programming languages, frameworks and architects, because we can't possibly learn everything we need to know as a student. To be a good programmer you need to be creative and be able to teach yourself on your leisure and be fascinated to learn, experiment and practice new things because that is what programming is all about.

Computer programming is the process of building complex systems with those tools. "Programming can be a dolorous process to the novice programmers. They must have declarative and procedural knowledge, memorization, understanding, problem solving, abstraction and logical thinking capabilities, among" (Pitiera and Costa, 2012).

Over the years, computer programming has carved out a niche for itself. It is why it has become a significant industry in the world today. The tech world has evolved in various ways. There are so many possibilities; smartphones, computers, artificial intelligence, and automated machines impact today's world, which is possible thanks to computer programmers (UAB Bitflow, 2022).

It has become an integral part of the society and its impacted has been beneficial to all sectors of the human world and has been a potential boost to the new age of evolution we have in the world today. There are different types of programmers we have in the world today.

• Software Developers
• Game programmers
• Software Engineers
• Data Developers
• System Hardware Developers
• Web Developers
• Computer Hardware Programmers
• Network System Administrators
• Analyst Programmers

    In the job market, programming skills are in high demand. Anyone who works with technology will benefit from having at least a basic understanding of how a software works. You can find work coding, designing software, data architecture, or developing user-friendly user interfaces if you have programming experience.

    Technically no programming language is perfect, there will always come a time when an error can occur within a programming language. It is the job of analyst programmer to detect and correct those errors whenever they occur. It is also their job to set up a protocol to ensure that system programs are run according to specifications. Therefore, an analyst programmer must have comprehensive knowledge of programming languages, business processes, and databases. Computer programming can be classified into 5 different types including:

• Procedural programming languages
• Functional programming languages
• Object-oriented programming languages
• Scripting languages
• Logic programming languages (Coursera, 2023).
