There are four core types of programming: procedural, object-oriented, functional, and scripting languages.

• Procedural languages execute instructions step by step, from top to bottom. Languages like C follow this model.
• Object-oriented languages like Java or Python use classes to structure code. This makes large projects easier to manage and update.
• In functional programming, you transform data without altering the original values. Languages like Haskell or Scala use this approach.
• Scripting languages like JavaScript or Python let you write short, powerful programs. They excel at rapid prototyping and everyday automation.

You can often combine paradigms within a single project or file.

Programming tuition in Cambridge typically costs about £28/h per hour.

Prices differ based on a few key criteria:

• Your experience level, whether you are just starting or refining specialist skills
• Whether the instructor holds relevant certifications or has commercial coding experience
• Lesson length and frequency, with package deals often reducing the hourly cost
• Online sessions often cost less because neither party needs to travel

Some instructors provide a trial lesson at no charge to help you decide.

While often used interchangeably, coding and programming have distinct scopes.

• Coding is the act of translating logic into syntax a machine understands. The emphasis is on correctly typing commands the interpreter or compiler accepts.
• A programmer analyses the problem first, then designs a solution before typing any code. It requires logical thinking, algorithm design, and understanding how systems connect.
• You cannot program without coding, yet coding alone does not make a complete program. Writing a quick automation is coding; architecting a banking system is programming.

Understanding this distinction helps you set realistic learning goals.
