‘A coding system is a way of writing or communicating a word, sentence or instruction for someone or something else, like a computer, to understand and follow. They can only be understood by those who comprehend the coding language that it is written in, or those who can understand and use a translation key. Coding systems can be a variety of things but essentially, they are a way of getting a message across from A to B. Coding systems are used to make all technological and electronic devices work including computers, laptops and smart devices.’
