Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have released PolyCoder, an automated code generator model that was trained on multiple programming languages, which they say is particularly good at ...

Sixty years ago, on May 1, 1964, at 4 am in the morning, a quiet revolution in computing began at Dartmouth College. That’s when mathematicians John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz successfully ran the ...

When you're writing code, you're laying out instructions on what you'd like to see on the app you're building or the website you're designing. But there are a number of coding languages to choose from ...

In a recent survey of more than 1100 astronomers, almost half have received little or no software training, despite 90% writing at least some of their own code. Jon Cartwright reports on the latest ...

Though researchers have long suspected the brain mechanism for computer programming would be similar to that for math or even language, this study revealed that when seasoned coders work, most brain ...

New research might widen access to learning computer programming. Source: skynesher/iStock It is routinely assumed that to be a computer programmer—to write code, in other words—you need to be good at ...

Computer programs can use data, evaluate if-then conditions on the data and use extremely fast iterative loops to perform these functions. In software programs, these functions get organized into ...
