Ten Reasons to Teach Coding.

What is coding? Why to code? How to code? Which language is easy to code? Which language is best to code? These are some questions that will come at least once across the student's mind. In simple way, we can say that coding is simply writing code in any programming language to solve some problem. Without any problem, there is no meaning of writing code. Actually, in the coding universe, there is always at least a problem to solve that the programmer solve using his/her logic in programming language. Coding is syntax specific. That is, every programming language has it's own syntax that we should follow while writing code. Also, we should choose language to code according to the nature of problem.
