Why is programming so complicated?

Why cant I just tell the computer in english what I want it to do?

For example

I want to make a phone app where I
1. Take picture
2. From that picture, determine the most dominant color

I looked some online solutions but programmers are so fucking retarded I had to take a break. One fucking nigger was talking about dividing the image to pieces and the RGB values to intervals and...

Just stfu retard. The image literally is million rows (1000*1000 pixels) with the columns: width, height, r, g, b. Just search for mlst frequent rgb.

are you serious?
>why can't this person build a mansion, why can't I just say "hey person, build a mansion". I mean it doesn't understand english, nor does it know what a mansion is, why can't I just tell it to make a mansion.

It's complicated because computers are fucking stupid, not to say completely lacking intelligence. Humans are smart. That's why programming works. That's why python is presumably easier to learn than other programming languages.

The steps I'd use for your problem would be the following (assuming by dominant you mean most repeating):

Create a list containing the amount of times pixel colour comes up on your image.
For all pixels in the image add 1 to the corresponding pixel counter (because it appeared)
After doing this, check the maximum value of the list.
Voila, your "dominant" colour

Obviously it could be optimised but it should seem simple enough to implement

i'm getting mixed signals from you anon. Maybe it's your ego? You should be able to use a naive method to find the most 'dominant' color based on whatever criteria you set. This task is not insurmountably hard. If you want to make it more accurate without clobbering runtime, then you'll have to introduce some basic linear algebra into your solution.

It isn’t really that hard to program. In my opinion it’s really boring. I have done it, but never more than a couple of hours. It’s for people of mediocre intellect, who aren’t fit and can obsess over trivial stuff.
>Why cant I just tell the computer in english what I want it to do
The machine language and the architecture it’s running on is pretty „dumb“ and you even have to spoon feed everything to the compiler, which is dumbing it down even more to even make it to the hardware layer.

there are likely many distinct rgb values that differ by a small amount that are indistinguishable by eye

I don’t think computers are biased; however it’s true that different input systems are suited for different people. When you are too dumb it’s needless to say you will neither be able to have an informed conversation nor be able to tell any advanced machine what precisely it should do. But keyboards being the major input system has an effect, it’s just back than when the systems were designed technology was to primitive to come up with better input systems and ways to make programming more intuitive. I think a program, which a smart individual or mathematical educated individual can’t understand in one or two hours is garbage. And even after years of improvement most programs aren’t very intuitive. Commanding by language should easily be possible, if enough resources were put into it.

ok /scientology
/g chad here

convert rgb to hue saturation and brightness(HSB)
find the most frequent H, find pixels around that H value, average out S and B

flawed method. imagine the image has 1000px of hue 200, 1000px of hue 201, 1000px of hue 202, and so on and so forth to hue 210 then suppose there are a mere 1001px with hue 0. hue 0 will be the most frequent occuring hue, even though you probably want it to actually say hue 205 is the most frequent since small differences in hue don't matter. this is why the OP found stuff about binning colors into intervals. OP is a brainlet though and can't into why that is necessary.

You can say a thing many different ways in English, how can a computer account for all those variations? If you standardize a language, it gives the computer direct instructions to follow, which is doable for a simple machine.
