International Programmers Day

International Programmes' Day-12 September 2020
Remember the "Hello World" program that you read at High School?
If you remember that pat yourself, you are a programmer too. Anyway, I stole it from the web.
.
Do you know why the programmer day is celebrated?
.
256 is the highest power of 2 that is less than 365. 256th day of a year is September 12 on a leap year (September 13 on non-leap year). Another idea is that a byte is a unit of storage in a computer that contains 8-bits and can store 256 different values. So that's the story behind celebrating the 256th day of a year.
.
PS: I've read on the web that coder deals with a small portion of code, whereas programmers deal with the big picture. Here I've assumed both to be the same. I've done this with utmost care, if there's any mistake kindly notify me.

This "Program" is officially recognised in Russia.
