Baking a cake and programming have many attributes in common. Both baking and programming rely on a specific process to produce an expected outcome. A cake needs the right amount of each ingredient mixed in at the right time, the oven to be set at a specific temperature, and the cake to be baked for a specific length of time. Programs need to be written out using the appropriate variables, functions, and syntax, just as the steps and ingredients in cake-making are vital. The program elements need to be compiled to ensure there are no bugs that would cause the program to fail, just as the cake recipe and instructions provide a template for success in baking. The ingredients represent the different variables in the code. The measuring cups, spoons, bowls and pans used in manipulating the ingredients are the Boolean operators. The oven represents compiling and running the program. Once the program is compiled and run, the user cannot make changes without compiling and running it again. Tasting the cake is ensuring that the program functions as expected.
