Computer software is instructions to the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a program or software program. You use programs to do things such as word processing and playing computer games, without thinking too much about the programs themselves.A program is a sequence of instructions that tell a computer what to do. You, as a program user, must do your part to make the program work by presenting input -- that is, entering data, using commands, or pressing keys, or clicking a mouse -- in a form the program -- the instructions -- can use. The input a program can handle and the handling of input are partly determined by the language in which the program is written. A programming language, like a human language, has its own vocabulary and grammar. Most programming languages have characteristics that make them particularly suitable or unsuitable for certain kinds of jobs -- jobs in fields such as engineering or accounting, for example. A programmer is a person who uses a programming language to construct a program that does one task or, more commonly, a series of related tasks. is a non-profit foundation dedicated to the growth of computer programming education.
