# COBOL Application Programming Interface (API)
23+
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface. An API allows two applications to communicate. We use API's everyday from our phones, personal computers, using a credit card to make a payment at a point of sale, etc.
24+
25+
Today's digital infrastructure is instrumented and interconnected. It is the API's that enable the "instrumented" network to be "interconnected". As a result, API has become a highly used acronym in the technology arena. The phrase "API Economy" became strategic term since Forbes declared 2017 "The Year of the API Economy".
26+
27+
Business application solutions were architected decades ago using programming language API's. Long before API became a strategic technology category, mainframe application developers understood the acronym as a way to enable a programming language to communicate with other software. The value of being a programmer in any specific programming language increased by understanding and using API's.

# COBOL Challenges
3864
As you have now handled some basic exercises, we have prepared a new section containing more advanced exercises that test your ability to resolve bugs and other issues in COBOL programs. Each exercise will have a short description and a goal to be accomplished.
