codeing and computing.

if comeputing is made out of coding, then, is coding made of ones and zeros like:1001001110010101011010010101001011100101010010101011110101010111000101010100000111111???

Technically, your computer won't understand 1s and 0s. It understands high voltages and low voltages in place of 1s and 0s. You're not exactly wrong, though. Writing in 1s and 0s is the most barebones programming ever, and it's extremely repetitious and boring to write, so high-level programming languages like C++, Java, and Python make programming much easier. Also, the binary you wrote translates to “•iRåJ½WA in ASCII.

Not exactly. First off, "computing" simply means to find or determine something, usually by mathematical means. And that's exactly what a computer does. When you write the code for a program, you're giving the computer a series of instructions to fallow when given a certain input (like clicking an icon, for instance). To answer your question regarding weather or not programming involves writing/typing out long strands on 1's and 0's, the answer is basically no. The system of simply using binary digits (1's and 0's) to write programs is called machine language, the only language that the circuitry inside your computer can actually understand. However, writing a program in machine language would be an incredibly long and tedious task (I mean, never mind trying to LEARN machine language). So, we humans have developed coding languages that are easier for US to understand, but can still be easily translated into the 1's and 0's that your computer understands. Therefore, when we write programs, we do it in code languages that might, for example, look like this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello world!"; return 0; } (that's C++ for a program that puts the words "Hello World" on a computer screen, the first type of program almost all students learn first.)
