What is computer programming ?

Some software needs to be reliable.


Need some way of knowing that the software hasn't been doctored.


Otherwise, no matter how well it is authored and tested etc, someone could have come along subsequently and forged changes. According to Murphy, Machiavelli, Hamlet, Caesar, Deming, etc, if there's any possibility at all of this happening, it will happen, and has already happened. Why ? Because a computer system is a giant Monte Carlo system exploring all possibilities, not just the most likely possibilities.

Reply:Software, for the most part, if its signed and certified, is reliable. Trust me, I am a programer and I know all of the steps hackers and modifiers have to go through to really poison a good program. If a program has been tampered with (via HexEditor or something along these lines) the certification will be corrupted and not valid. Plus, if you download from the host sites, not from any third-party site, you will find you never have currupt programs. Currupt programs are aquired through filesharing and shady third party sites.





Most programs that are currupt were made that way on purpose. It is really very very hard to edit an existing program in its exe form. And virtually impossible to edit a program that requires a setup file. The easiest path of curruption is to edit the INI files that some programs (mainly games) come with, but any idiot can look through and see something like "open FTP%26gt;xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port# copy backdoor.trojan.b to "c:/windows/system~32" and open"

Reply:computer programming is making programs for use by users with help of programming languages
Reply:Computer programming is the art of producing a set of instructions that the computer can process and execute. The result of this program is the generation of output from the given input.





A computer system is a series of programs linked together.





Remember.
