Coding is a skill where instructions are taken and translated into a language the computer understands since computers do not communicate like humans. They communicate in a language called BINARY which uses 0's and 1's. Coders write the instructions using a programming language to get the computer to behave how they want it to. Every line of code tells the computer to do something, and a document full of lines of code is called a script. Each script is designed to carry out a job. This job might be to take an image and change its size.
