It is important because coding is what the military does when they are in a different country (Afghanistan for example) and they are in a enemy's territory they will send out a code to their base that only the base can understand. It's easier to communicate that way so the enemy doesn't look at the plans that the military is planning. Coding is what saves soldiers lives because they can send an SOS to the base in a certain code that only the military can understand. With coding we have saved a lot of lives and destroyed a lot of enemies. Regular people can use coding if they want to but coding is mostly a military thing.
Hope this helped :)
