What You Learned

So much of what we do as programmers involves taking some formula and turning it into code. You’ll write invoices, reports, tax calculators, currency conversions, and more complex things like computing the distance between two points on a map. Taking a written formula and translating it into an algorithm is not just something you do when you’re learning how to code.

We do something else every day as programmers: we make the computer compare values and respond accordingly. Head to the next chapter to tackle those kinds of problems.
