No, it's much more. Computer programming is about problem-solving. You apply your analytical, creative, and logical skills to solve a problem. Once you have a solution, you design a program around it.
Once you have a design, you then code your program in the language of your choice (this could be Java or Python or Pharo).
After coding, you must thoroughly test the program, and if you find any defects (known as "bugs"), you must fix them. This is usually the most difficult and time-consuming part of programming.
Once your program passes all tests, then you must deploy your program in production. So there are a lot of subtasks to programming, and "coding" is just one of them.
