Introduction To Basic Programming

Computer programs are sequences of instructions that tell computers how to perform tasks. Programs have an executable form that computers use directly and a human-readable source code form that programmers use to develop algorithms. Source code is written in programming languages using either imperative or declarative paradigms and can be compiled into an executable file to be run by CPUs or interpreted during execution. Programs are categorized as system software, which runs computers, or application software, which helps users perform tasks. Computers can run multiple programs simultaneously through multitasking.

Introduction to Basic Programming A computer program (also a software program, or just a program) is a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified

task for a computer.[1] A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor.[2] The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source code form, from which executable programs are derived (e.g., compiled), enables a programmer to study and develop its algorithms. Computer source code is often written by computer programmers. Source code is written in a programming language that usually follows one of two main paradigms: imperative or declarative programming. Source code may be converted into an executable file (sometimes called an executable program or a binary) by a compiler and later executed by a central processing unit. Alternatively, computer programs may be executed with the aid of an interpreter, or may be embedded directly into hardware. Computer programs may be categorized along functional lines: system software and application software. Two or more computer programs may run simultaneously on one computer, a process known as multitasking.
