While searching for tutorials and resources online, you may see some people say that coding and programming mean the same thing, but some also argue that there is a small difference between the terms.
Coding typically refers to writing lines of code in a specific programming language( such as Python) to create software or an application. Programming, however, is seen to be broader and covers the entire process of creating software or application, including problem-solving, designing algorithms, and testing.
Ultimately, don’ t worry if you see coding and programming used interchangeably, as it’ s quite common.

PROGRAMMING VERSUSCODING
A little knowledge of coding / programming would go a long way in developing a problem-solving mindset that could come in handy across all disciplines. So, learning some Python or C ++ might help with that if that is a skill you are interested in.
