- 1. A computer program, often referred to as software, is a collection of instructions that enable a computer to perform specific tasks or functions. These instructions are written in a programming language and are executed by the computer's processor to carry out computations, data manipulation, and interaction with hardware components. Computer programs can range from simple scripts that automate routine tasks to complex applications that power operating systems, games, and other software tools. Developing a computer program involves identifying requirements, designing algorithms, coding the program, testing for bugs and errors, and deploying the final product. The field of computer programming is vast and constantly evolving, with new technologies and programming languages emerging to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world.
