Languages.
A computer cannot understand any person's spoken language. A spoken language, such as Italian or English, is simply too general and ambiguous for computers to understand. Therefore, we must adapt to the machine and learn a language that the computer can understand. VB's programming language is fairly simple and uses common English words and phrases for the most part. The language isn't ambiguous, however. When you write a statement in the Visual Basic language, the statement never has multiple meanings within the same context.
Code(sometimes called Source Code) is another name for the programming statements you write.
