dudebuck:
They are basically the same thing, but coding refers to the actual writing or typing of the codes, while programming refers to everything from planning, designing, researching, flowcharting, alogarithm to testing and debugging, just my two cents.

Best answer so far...

Program is a set of instructions written to perform a specific task.

The set of instructions is the code.

So the word Programming as a verb is the act of writing codes.

In conclusion, the word Programming is same as Coding.. grin grin grin grin grin grin

Physician and Medical Doctor
Coder and Programmer
Informal or formal
Programmer is a nicer more official term while coder is visually more appealing and less formal

Programming Is a set of electronic instructions written in an acceptable language that tells a compuetr what to do, How to do it and when to do it...
.
The Compuetr Device don't understand Natural Language, Hence the Low level Language(Assembly and Machine) and the High level Language(Python, Ruby, Java Kotlin, swift etc)
.
NB: This Languages are called PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES not CODING LANGUAGE...
Hence Coding Is the *written Instruction*
Many people uses Mysql a database language, which is not a programming Language but has a set of instructions(Codes)
.
So therefore Programming And Coding are Inter-related...so put It like this....
Every Programming Language are written with Codes but Not every Codes are programs.!!!
Refrased: Every programs are codes but not every codes are program.!

Programming is the act of writing a set of instructions that guides the operation of the computer. It involves a series of processes, of which Coding is one. Coding entails the conversion of the program's Logic (Flowcart and Algorithm) into computer useable/understandable/executeable form (i.e. Machine Language).

Na the small wia I sabi be dat.
I now vividly understand the reason Bros Jona onde said that Stealing is not Corruptio.
With this your explanation, I now realise that Coding is not Programming! but one of d functions of a Programmer as Stealing is one of the functions of a Corruptian.

Re: What Are The Differences Between Programming And Coding? by Koladelampard: 1:46am On Oct 03, 2019
A bunch of working codes give rise to a program. The codes are the bits of instructions that give you the program

This question ought to be specific, the answer depends on field.

In information theory, coding is mapping discrete set of symbols to finite binary sequences. Things like source coding (data compression), channel coding (error control), cryptographic coding and line coding.

Programming is the way others have described. For example, programming with Matlab.

On point!
It is called coding in the computer programming world because what you type is not what the computer is using. For example, you code many strings of zeros and ones by simply typing "Hello world".
What the computer basically knows is zeros and ones.

Programming involves coding and other things.

You program an app or software to carry out a particular function.. The process of making sure that app work the way you want is called coding.. The work you put into a program to work a certain way is called coding.

Take for example when you build a house you lay bricks.. That bricklaying = coding.. It basically building. The whole essence of coding is to have a program that works.

So using your house analogy, if coding is the bricklaying, what then is programming?
