The difference between a program and programming is programming is the actual activity of writing computer code in any of the various computer languages available, the end result of which is a program. The program can then be ran by the computer and perform the task the programmer told it to do.

A program (system or otherwise) is executable machine code. A programming language is a human readable representation of what the programmer wants in the form of source code. Source code must be converted into machine code before it can be executed. The conversion from source code to machine code is done by a computer program designed for that purpose.

  • Programming [verb] is a process done by software engineers or computer programmers consisting of the following steps: customer requirements analysis, software design, coding the design using a programming language, testing and debugging the program parts, program integration, testing and debugging the complete program, and customer acceptance testing. Any bugs found during the two testing steps of the programming process will have to be fixed in the code written in the programming language and all necessary testing steps repeated.
  • A programming language [noun] (you wrote program language) is a human readable language used by software engineers or computer programmers during the coding step of the programming process. The code written in the programming language is then converted by a translator program (e.g. compiler, assembler) to machine code that the target computer can "understand" and run.
