Code provides the instructions that run apps such
as Google Maps.
P
eople use code to write programs. A
program is a set of instructions given
to a machine to tell it how to perform
an action. People write programs to
solve specific problems. For example, a
mapping
app
gives people directions. The
app finds the best route from one place to
another.
