🧭 What Is Coding? Algorithms & Sequences

Coding means giving a computer step-by-step instructions to follow, called an algorithm. Computers are powerful but they only do exactly what they're told.

A sequence is the order in which instructions happen. Just like a recipe, the steps must happen in the right order to work.

If you told a robot to 'put on shoes, then put on socks,' it would follow those steps in that exact order — even if it's not the best order for real life!

Every app, game, and website you use is built from algorithms written by programmers, one careful step at a time.
