If you can’t differentia between Coding and Programming, you are not alone a lot of people get confused when they hear these terms and think that they mean the same. Although these are very similar-sounding terms and very interchangeably used at almost any given context still they do have their subtleties and some differences. Here are the differences -

Diffrence between Coding and Programming

“Coding” and “Programming” are the two most important approaches in Software Development Industries. Coding is basically the process of creating codes from one language to another one. It can also be called as a subset of Programming since it actually implements the initial steps of Programming. It involves writing codes in different languages as instructed. Programming is the process of developing an executable machine level program that can be implemented without any error. It is the process of formally writing codes so that the human inputs and corresponding machine outputs remain in sync

In simpler words, When input a command on Television remote it is programming, and the process when you have that all thing work is called coding.

Hope you find this helpful ;)
