Like how exactly can a bunch of letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols make your computer do all kinds of things? Plus what happens inside the computer when it executes the code?

I will try to share how I understand it but for more knowledgeable people, please fix where I am wrong.
Basically programming languages are in different levels. The one you are asking about is on the high level. You write a code using defined rules and those defined rules are built on lower level logic or programming language. Those defined “rules” are built on even lower level rules and so on until you come to ones and zeros.
E.g. you write a code to multiple 2 times 2 but you don’t need to write function which would actually do calculation as it is already defined, you may just say something like multiple(2,2)
I did my best here, I am not a developer so this may be off. But I hope it gives you at least some idea
