Synopsis :
Coding means creating a set of instructions (or algorithms) that tells a computer how to perform a task. Another word for coding is `programming’. Learn about the origins of coding, how it is done and how much control it has over our daily lives. Specially commissioned cartoon-style illustrations in full colour make these books attractive and accessible even to reluctant readers. Information is conveyed through captions, labels and humorous speech bubbles in addition to the main text. Illustrated sidebars headed `How It Works’, `Top Tip’ or `You Can Do It’ supply more facts, describe simple, safe experiments, or steps that readers can take to help make the world a better place. Each volume includes a timeline and a list of `Did You Know?’ facts.
