    What is meant by coding? Does it mean I have to write numbers or special signs?
    Community Answer
    Coding is a skill where you take instructions (the steps in a task) and translate it into a language the computer understands since computers do not communicate like humans. They communicate in a language called binary and it is uses 0’s and 1’s. Coders write the instructions using a programming language. This programming language translates human code into computer code known as software.
