Computing: Set of coded instructions that a computer can understand to solve a problem or produce a desired result. Programs are written either in one of high-level programming languages (such as Basic, C, Java) which are easier but execute relatively slowly, or in one of low-level languages (assembly language or machine language) which are very complex but execute very fast. Two basic types of computer programs are (1) operating system, which provides the most fundamental instructions a computer uses in its operations, and (2) application program, which runs on the operating system and does a specific job such as word processing.
