Why Do Computers Struggle to Comprehend Human Languages?

Have you ever wondered why computers struggle to comprehend or understand primary human languages? Then this is the right article for you. In this article, we will talk about why computers do not understand human languages and the things you have to do, to make sure your computer understands the instructions you give it. So get your popcorn, a tasty drink and... ON YOUR MARKS... GET SET... GO!!! Computers do not understand human language because it is so complex, nuanced, and contextual - unlike computer languages which have strict rules and syntax. Plus, human language is always changing with new words and expressions being added constantly, making it even harder for computer programs to keep up. But don't worry, we've made some amazing progress in natural language processing and machine learning that have helped computers better understand human language. Even though there's still a long way to go before we can say that computers fully understand it. It's pretty fasci...

The Long, Rich History Behind Coding

During World War II, coding played a crucial role in helping the Allied forces overcome the obstacle of the Enigma code used by the Germans to send secret messages. The challenge was taken on by a group of brilliant minds led by Alan Turing, who created the first computer in the world to crack the code. Their efforts led to invaluable insights that helped the Allied forces turn the tide of the war and ultimately led to the defeat of Germany. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ฅ After World War II, coding continued to evolve, and programming languages like FORTRAN, Autocode, COMTRAN, and COBOL were born. These programming languages have revolutionized the way we interact with technology and have made it easier for people to learn to code and create their own programs. ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“ˆ Today, coding is practised worldwide and is used in various industries, including finance, healthcare, and education. It is an essential tool that helps individuals and organizations achieve complex tasks that would be impossible to comp...

My Friend Recently Asked Me: "What is Coding?"

Once, my friend asked me: "Can you explain to me what code is?" And I replied: "Certainly! Let me elaborate on coding. In essence, coding is a language that computers understand ๐Ÿค–. It consists of a set of instructions or commands that tell a computer what to do ๐Ÿ’ป. These instructions can be as simple as adding two numbers together or as complex as creating an entire operating system. Coding has a vast range of applications, and it's impossible to list them all ๐Ÿ“. One example is website development, as most websites are built with code. Without coding, not only would websites be dull and difficult to create, but the internet itself wouldn't exist ๐ŸŒ. Additionally, we utilize coding for problem-solving and math, and these skills reciprocate in coding as well. Furthermore, coding is essential in the development of software, mobile apps, and games ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ. In the medical field, coding is utilized for analyzing data, developing medical software, and creating simula...

From No to Pro: A Good Short Introduction to Scratch

 Scratch is a visual programming language designed for kids to learn the basics of coding ๐Ÿค–. Developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Scratch provides an easy-to-use interface that allows children to create their own interactive stories, games, and animations ๐ŸŽฎ. One of the best things about Scratch is that it is free and accessible to anyone with an internet connection ๐Ÿ†“. Kids can start learning the basics of coding right away, without having to purchase expensive software or hardware ๐Ÿ’ฐ. Scratch is also designed to be fun and engaging for kids ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. The visual interface makes it easy for kids to see the results of their coding efforts in real-time ๐Ÿ‘€. They can design their own characters, backgrounds, and sound effects, and then program them to interact with each other ๐ŸŽจ. Another great feature of Scratch is its online community ๐ŸŒ. Kids can share their projects with others and get feedback and support from other young coder...
