The rapid development of information technology has made people to have the ability to design software with a programming language . There are quite some engineers who have not mastered programming languages. It happens because some people think that developing software with a certain programming language is very difficult . T he language is difficult to understand, the accuracy must be precise, and the user is not familiar with the platform. Difficulty in learning programming languages is a problem that is often encountered by university students, vocational students, or employees.

The advantage of this programming language is easy to operate because many students or employees are very familiar with Ms. Excel so that the adaptation process will be easy .
