Code is logical if you define logic as reasoning in general, broader than mathematics, and since it runs in physical environment, it now interacts with a messy world. Code is defined by business requirements, and there's no mathematics for that.
Those business requirements are inputs to the process of writing the code.
Once the code is actually written, that exists as a formal logical system, defined by mathematics, not business requirements.

I still think that's not code, but your favorite model of code. For spellchecker language is defined by mathematics too: it splits text into words by whitespace, then for each word not found in dictionary it selects best matches and sorts them by relevance. Oh and characters are stored as numbers.
Writing code IS a math skill. When writing code you are writing logic in a formal system. Logic is mathematics.
You may be thinking that mathematics is just like doing arithmetic or solving equations. It is way deeper and broader than that.

Code is not just modelled through mathematics, it is actually defined by mathematics. It is fundamentally a mathematical construct, grounded in formal semantics.
Code is not modelled mathematically, it is defined mathematically.
It exists as an abstraction which is fully defined by operational semantics and denotational semantics, not modelled or approximated.
In the counter example of a quark, that exists in nature and is modelled by mathematics, but not defined by mathematics.
