Bioinformatics
In bioinformatics, all biological data are regarded as information. So, by combining various fields such as computer science and statistics, the information is analyzed and studied.
Bioprogramming
Bioprogramming is all programming activities for analyzing biological data.
Programming
Programming is a process that makes new algorithm from programming languages called codes through a compiler.
Compiler
Compiler is a program that transforms programming languages into computer languages. With this process, computer can recognize the commands. The compilers have own specific programming language. C++, for example, has c language. They are classified according to the languages and the operating systems.
Programming language
Programming languages are generally high-level languages that are used in coding by programmers.
Perl programming
Perl is a programming language that supports scripts called a script lanuguage. It is developed by Larry wall in 1987. It is a powerful tool for varied applications such as network programming, finance, and bioinformatics. An operating system of perl is basically Linux but almost systems support the program.
