Type of code!

Question

I like to let my self believe I am flowing through coding and learning it quit well, (I say that because I have already gone through the book and not just the website on html/5 and css) my problem is. I don't know what i will be using coding for (such as a career) and my other problem I haven't figured out is. What do people mean when they say "problem solving in coding".

Answer 1

If you are interested in HTML and CSS the application of those languages is webpage development/design.

If that is something you want to do, I highly recommend learning Javascript as well. Javascript, among other things, can make HTML and CSS much more functional and thus useful for making applications.

“Problem solving in coding”
Possible real world example:
Jane can’t do math. Bob can code. Bob codes a simple calculator. Now Jane can do math. Problem solved.

Possible Hypothetical Problem example:
There are two trees. Tree A grows 5ft per year but harsh winter breaks off 3ft from the top. Tree B grows 3ft per year and harsh winter doesn’t harm it. Write a program to determine which tree will reach a height of over 50ft first.

Usually coding problems or challenges are a good way to learn how to optimize code. There’s usually more than one way to get the answer, but not all ways are good ways to go about it (one way may run into memory issues for example).
