Etymology

The term 'code' originated from the Latin word 'codex', meaning a book or a set of written laws. In the context of programming, 'code' refers to the language used to communicate with computers. The history of coding dates back to the early days of computing, where programmers used machine code to instruct computers. Over time, high-level programming languages like C, Java, and Python were developed to make coding more accessible to a wider audience.
