Do you know your CODE?

•That any language isn't meant to be called a programming language!

Obviously, not  the common languages we speak, like English and others. But programming languages!

For example HTML, XML and CSS are not programming languages but Markdowns and Styling sheets.

A programming language is a language that is able to accept an instruction, process it and finalize to give a meaningful information.
In the sense that, programming languages are able to, analyze, implement, characterize and classify DATA. To produce information and relevance.

So next time when considering a language as a language, try thinking if it's actually one!

• You also didn't realize that products in the technology industry are named after animals.

Yes! Naturally, the first thought that comes to mind is the:

Mouse.

A mice on a mose!
Obviously, the mouse coined its name from another mouse 😂

•Most codes aren't written from scratch!

According to Quora:
"A good coder can certainly design a program from scratch, without copy-paste. However, he or she will rarely do so, because it's generally waste of time."

This proves that most codes and programs aren't written from the beginning to the end. But they are modified from another program.

But that doesn't mean you should be unserious as 👇

Unserious girl!
