What's the difference between coding and programming?

Is a coder a programmer or is it the other way around? We all know these two terms are related closely, but they don’t mean the same thing. Let’s clarify today how they differ.  

What is coding? 
Coding is instructing a computer to do something through step-by-step commands written in a machine language. So a code translates human language to a language machines understand and produce the result wanted by the coder. Coding is used to tell apps to run on smartphones, and games to ‘interact’ with the console.  

What is programming?  
Programming is writing human thoughts in logic and Math based language. So, a code is that part of the programme that tells a machine to do a specific function, i.e. gives it instructions, while the programme is the language in which a code is written. A coder has to learn programming languages such as Java, C++, VB, Python or Ruby on Rails for coding. Let's try and explain it in a simpler way so we can get a better understanding. 

Differences between coding and programming 
The basic difference is that coding is a part of programming, while programming is the process of creating a communication format readable by the machine. In terms of requirements, coding doesn’t require too many software tools. Even a simple text editor like Wordpad or Notepad will suffice. Programming requires code analysis, code generators, databases, testing frameworks, compilers, GUI designers, assemblers, debuggers, and modelling algorithms. A programmer needs more experience and deeper learning than a coder to manage multiple tools and perform everything needed to create the program.  

The level of expertise is different for coding and programming. Coders should have basic knowledge of programming languages to start with, picking up more only if they want to perform complicated functions. Programmers should have enough knowledge to create algorithms, model problems, process data, and manage projects.  

The process outcome of coding and programming are obviously different. The result of coding is the correct working of certain functions. On the other hand, programming results in creating entire applications, software products, or an end-to-end website.
