Computer programming is how you make a computer do something. It's also called coding. Most programs are a list of instructions that the computer executes, one after another. For example, a simple program might:
Take two numbers as input from the user
Add the two numbers together
Print the sum back out to the user
There's obviously a lot more interesting stuff that you can make a computer do. To me, programming feels like doing a puzzle. There's a lot of problem solving involved, and the challenge is part of the fun!
