Okay so I'm very new to programming and know just about nothing and all. I've been watching videos of people coding in python and C but I was wondering like once they write a program for a specific task, how do they put it into action or how do they apply it to the situation they created it for?

What I have tried:

Watching videos and searching google :D

You "deploy" it to the "target" device.

When you "build" it, you specify a target (Android; Linux; UWP; Windows; Ios).

Then "load" it onto that target device to run.

This assumes you have the "authority" to upload to a given device.

Sounds easy enough hahah! I dont think I'll be pursuing a career in programming because I'm in school for mechanical engineering but I think it would be awesome to know how as well!

It sounds promising that you are not only interested in coding, but the whole software process. The pure development of software is the central step, but there are other phases.

For instance the distribution of software for mobile systems for like Android or iOS is on the Play Store or App Store. For some systems like Windows are tools which are building a setup packet which does the needed steps for installing the software. It can be really tricky, when drivers and some dlls are in the package.

In factories are often image files for the machines in use. That means that system administrators are deploying one typical system and its backup is written on all devices.

Last but not least: you need resources for marketing and design and also a lot of money to pay the developers and managers. ;-)

See The Python Tutorial — Python 3.4.9rc1 documentation[^] and EFNet #Winprog[^] for some ideas.
