program
A computer program (also known as software) is a set of controls and instructions designed to perform specific tasks on a computer. These tasks can include calculations, data management, creating documents, playing games, browsing the web, editing photos, and much more. A computer program consists of code that is written in a particular programming language. This code is then translated into binary code that a computer can read and execute. There are different types of computer programs, including applications (also known as apps or applications), system software, development software, games, and more. Computer programs are key tools for modern information technology and enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. Without computer programs, computers would just be hard-to-use machines.
