How can I understand my code better?
To assist in your learning – courtesy of the Coding Dojo instructors – here are seven tips on how to learn programming faster.
- Learn by doing.
- Grasp the fundamentals for long-term benefits.
- Code by hand.
- Ask for help.
- Seek out more online resources.
- Don’t just read the sample code.
- Take breaks when debugging.
What is read coding in general practice?
Read Codes are a comprehensive list of clinical terms intended for use by healthcare professionals to describe the care and treatment given to patients. They include signs, symptoms, treatments, investigations, occupations, diagnoses and drugs and appliances.
How is code written?
Almost all programming languages work the same way: You write code to tell it what to do: print(“Hello, world”). The code is compiled, which turns it into machine code the computer can understand. The computer executes the code, and writes Hello, world back to us.

How to Read Code (Eight Things to Remember)
- Learn to Dig. When you’re diving into a mature codebase for the first time, you might not feel like a developer.
- Go Back in Time.
- Read the Specs.
- Think of Comments as Hints.
- Find Main.
- Notice Style.
- Expect to Find Garbage.
- Don’t Get Lost.
What is code and how does it work?
Code is sets of rules and instructions, written in a specific programming language, that helps us talk to machines. Just as humans speak different languages, so do machines. Coders are people who understand and work with these languages on a daily basis.
How does clinical coding work?
Clinical coding is the process of translating medical information from patient records in hospitals, into alphanumeric codes. A Clinical Coder will spend time reading medical notes / records and analysing the contents which they then translate into alphanumeric codes that accurately represent the patient’s stay.
What is clinical coding used for?
Clinical Coding is “the translation of medical terminology as written by the clinician to describe a patient’s complaint, problem, diagnosis, treatment or reason for seeking medical attention, into a coded format” which is then both nationally and internationally recognised.
Why should I read other people’s code?
Reading other people’s code is an opportunity to get to know someone else through their code. We all express ourselves through our programs. For fun, I’d recommend you pick someone you admire and get to know them through their work. A big part of this process is accepting people (and their code) as they are.
Why is it important to understand the full body of code?
The reason that works well is that, in all cases, a body of code is designed to tackle one (or more) complex problems. So you’ll always have those “chains of actions” throughout. And the more you can gain an understanding of how different parts of the code are connected, the more you’ll develop an understanding of the entire codebase, as a whole.
How to prepare for a coding interview?
One way to prepare for such a robust interview process is to research common coding interview questions and example answers. In the following article, you’ll review the top coding interview questions and answers that will help you impress in your next programmer interview.
How do you approach a code base?
Leave that part of the code, approach the code base from a different angle, and when you come back to that bit later, it will probably make more sense. So before you even begin looking at a code base, I recommend getting as much tooling on your side as possible.
