the code is written. Once these skills are developed, we can create our own computer

games, drawing apps, animation movies, etc.

Coding is also an important part of all aspects of life.

Learning how to code enhances creative thinking, logical reasoning, teamwork, and

decision making skills. Thus, it is important to understand and learn coding.

CODING ENVIRONMENTS

Coding, or programming, can be done in several ways. The method by which code can
be written is called a Coding Environment. Some modes of writing codes are:

1. Text-based coding: In this mode, we create codes by writing it with the help

of instructions typed out using a keyboard. This is also called Command-line
coding interface. Coding in Python language is an example of a text-based coding

environment.

2. Graphics-based coding: In this mode, the coding instructions are present in
the form of graphical objects which can be moved and arranged sequentially

using a mouse to create code. Scratch is an example of a graphics-based coding
environment.

3. Voice-based coding: In this mode, we speak the code that is to be written. A

special language translator software converts our spoken instructions into
written code.

Tech Etiquette Life Skills

Never change any settings on a computer without permission or knowledge of the setting.
This prevents the computer from malfunctioning and ensures efficient performance. If you
have to change any setting as part of learning exercise, make sure to change back to the
original setting before you leave.
