Introduction to Program Development
The heart of computer science is of course the computer, but the heart of the computer is computer software (program). To be an expert in the field of computer science, an in-depth knowledge of software is required – what is it? How does it work? How is it created? How does it interact with the computer?
Definition of Program
This is a general term used to describe the set of instructions, which computer use to solve problems. These instructions (source codes) are written by humans (called programmers) and it is used to direct the hardware component on what, when and how to accomplish (solve) a given task (problem).
These programming instructions cause the computer to perform arithmetic and logical operations or comparisons or to input or output data in a desired sequence.
