Difference between programming & programming language

Programming: Nowadays we all listen to the word programming everywhere, it is widespread in today's world. In computer science, programming is a set of instructions for the computer or machine to perform a specific task. The task could be anything that a computer can do making calculations to complex operations. We give instructions to the computer to take certain actions based on certain conditions And the instructions are all called programming. Why need programming? we need programming because we can solve real-world problems through programming. In the real world, we have a lot of problems that we can't solve easily. For example, we can't calculate the sum of 89, 65, 74, and 34 in just one second. We can solve but takes time. But computers can solve the same equation within one second. We just need to instruct the computer to perform that task And the instructions are called programming.

Programming Language: A programming language is a mediator between humans to computers. By default, computers are very dumb machines. It can't do any task on its own. It can't take any kind of decision, we always need to instruct to taking a decision. Computers can't understand human languages, so how can we instruct computers? through programming languages. Computers only understand binary numbers but humans can't write binary instructions for computers because it is not possible to write programming in 0, 1. Here programming languages came into play. There are many programming languages in the market like c, c++, python, java, PHP, JavaScript, and so on. Every programming language is built for communicating with computers. A programming language is almost like a human language, humans can easily understand it. So, all programming languages have a translator called compiler or interpreter. It converts human-readable language to machine-readable binary code.
