Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behaviour (customization). The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

What programming language is best suited for science?
Q. In college I want to go into computer programming. For a minor though I'm going into a science most likely physics, genetics, or chemistry. Whats the best programming language to write programs for these subjects?

A. It's more likely you are going to need a number of languages during your studies. I studied computer science and have a phd in network engineering which has a heavy mathematical background. You definately need a language like C++ or C# which are quite similar in their syntax style (wouldn't recommend Visual Basic even if it's practically the same code as C#). However, you are going to reach a point where you'd need to develop a complex mathematical function to keep developing in those languages, as they do not have everything by default. You might be able to purchase mathematical libraries for C#/C++ however you would need to be certain that they are suitable for your needs and efficiently implemented. Matlab is a great piece of… [cont.]

A. It depends on what you want to be able to do and how much effort you are prepared to put in before you can do it. If you want to write games, full blown software applications, device drivers, etc. and you are prepared to put in many months or years of dedication to gain the expertise, then go with a language like C++. (As someone else noted, C/C++ can be frustrating to learn as a beginner). However, I would definitely recommend learning a scripting language to start out with. A language such as Ruby, Python or Perl (don't discount Perl, it's just trendy to bash it atm. It's a powerful and mature language with a huge code base you can use for free called CPAN that will enable you to do just about anything - have a look at to see what I… [cont.]

A. It really depends what type of programmer you want to be, and what kind of level you wish to achieve. I'm guessing you mean an application designer. If so then Visual Basic isn't a bad place to start, but it is starting to show it's age and is getting replaced by the more powerful (but equally simple) Visual C# (C-Sharp). You can make Xbox Live Arcade games with C# - Google "XNA". If you wish to be doing more advanced things (such as game development) then I really recommend Visual C++ because it promotes good coding practices. If you learn the basics of C++, there aren't many languages that will be beyond your grasp. It may take longer for you to learn C++ if you began with an easier languages, because you'll have to un-learn a few… [cont.]

Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of writing a set of commands or instructions that can later be compiled and/or interpreted and then inherently transformed to an executable that an electronic machine can execute or "run".

  • On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
    • Charles Babbage, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5: "Difference Engine No. 1"
  • Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
