1. Principle of Bioinformatics
Definition of bioinformatics
'Bio-' word originated from Greek (biography), it means a combining form 'life' . If 'Bio' play a role of prefix, it indicate and involve life or living organisms.
'informat(ion) + -ics' is information science. It means this science has all processes what informations are gathering, manipulating, storing, retrieving and classifying.
In my own word, the definition of bioinformatics is all processes that information related to living organisms and life are gathering, manipulating, storing, retrieving and classifying.
Principle of bioinformatics
Figure1 is level of biological organization, this order from smallest to largest : atom → molecule→ macromolecule→ organelle→ cell→ tissue→ organ→ organ system→ Whole organism.
Figure1. Levels of organization (from biology keystone exam preparation)
Many living things are made of cells and cells are made of many molecules. Bioinformatics is based on level of biological organization, so it can get the information from macromolecule to whole organism. It means bioinformatics can help to analyze from the macromolecule likes DNA to the whole organism likes human.
In addition, according to 'Wikipedia, informatics', "The English term Informatics is sometimes understood as meaning the same as computer science. The German word Informatik is usually translated to English as computer science."
Therefore, Principle of Bioinformatics is that gather the information(data) and analyze by using both Computer Sciences and Biology field.
2. Bioprogramming
What is bioproramming?
Bioprogramming is all the programming activities for analyzing biological data.
Programming is the technologies to realize compute programby using several algorism specifically. The wide meaning is the act or proess likes a pan to acomplish a goal. People are trying to use programming in order to solve the problem what's more complexd. Then, it can help to reduce the time and cost, so it has a efficiency.
How to make a compiler?
First of all, a compiler means the program which a file written by specific language of programming shifts other language of programming.
Usually, a compiler is used to translate primary source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language likes machine code.

What is a language?
Language is some code that people can understand it, it makes people to think. In computer, there are many language obviously all these things were made by human. A long time ago, the scientist and engineer were trying to improve effectiveness for human work. As a result, many programming language are appeared.
What is a computer?
A computer is a progrmmable electrical device designed to accept information, perform the goal what people want to accomplish using mathematical and logical operation. It can interpret many instruction made by user then, all processes go through the setting either auto or user-handed. (A few information was cited from dictionary.com)
What is a grammer?
It has a meaning using pro-grammer. Grammer means someone who make a program's algorism their own word and interpret process, get the results, analyze it.
