Technical Definition
Programming a computer using natural language sentences instead of traditional code.
How it works
Natural language programming aims to allow users to write computer programs using everyday human language, such as English, rather than formal programming syntax. This approach often utilizes ontologies to interpret the intent behind the natural language commands. The goal is to make programming more accessible to non-experts.
