What is computer programming? How do bits and bytes allow computers to understand instructions?

Computer Programming is the process of designing, writing, texting,troubleshooting and maintaing the source code of computer programs. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain style and behavior. The process of writing a source code often requires many different styles, including knowledge. Programming creates a sequence of instructions to enable the computer to do something.

Writing computer programs means writing instructions, that will make the computer follow and run a program based on those instructions that were given. The program instructs the computer in a language that it understands. There are several types of programs for the computer, such as the word processing, data base, spreadsheet,research and etc.

Bits and bytes allow computers to understand information because both terms refer to digital data transmitted over a network connection. And they both may represent network addresses or different port numbers. NOT gates work by taking one bit as a input and produces as an output. And a AND gate is a digital logic gate that implements  logical conjunction. It behaves according to the truth table. And lastly ad OR gate is when the output is high when either or both of inputs A or B is high.
