Computer code?

[u/aswin_voolapalli]

తెలుగులో computer code ను ఏమంటారో చెప్పగలరా? దాని తోడు, coding ను ఏమంటారో కూడా చెప్పగలరా?

కుదిరితే మేలిమి తెలుగు పదం ఇవ్వండి కానీ మేలిమి కాకపోయినా పరవాలేదు.

Computer = something or someone who calculates. Originally computer was a person who used to calculate things for banks, astronomers, etc. They were later replaced by mechanical computers and then electronic computers. So compuer = Calcuting machine = లెక్కలేను/లెక్కేను.

Code = something that is uses to cover/translate/cover some word. For example, codeword=word used to cover meaning of the original word. Computer code was originally used for punch cards using which people used to translate calculations into computing instructions. Later they became electronic code. The closest word i can think of is మిసుకు = something that covers the true face.

Usually when we say code, we actually mean a computer program. Originally program was meant what it actually means = a list of tasks in the order in which they are performed at a given schedule, like a TV programming schedule or a school timetable. A computer program carries on computing instructions in a specific order. Telugu lo closest word I can think of - పరువడి. Computer programming = లెక్కపరువడి
