Computing: A set of coded instructions that a computer can understand to solve a problem or produce a desired result. Two basic types of computer programs are (1) an operating system, which provides the most fundamental instructions a computer uses in its operations, and (2) an application program, which runs on the operating system and does a specific job such as word processing.
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.
