Program
A program is
a set of instruction that tells a computer what to do. Program is a detail
process which commands to computer that how to process data to get information.
Person who make program is called programmer. Programmer uses programming
languages to make or write any program.
Computer Program
Computer Program in the form of a
human-readable, computer programming language is called source code. Source
code can be converted into an executable image by a compiled or executed
immediately with the aid of an interpreter.
Computer Program is a list of
instruction which is when executed, causes the computer to operate in some
predetermined manner.

Computers
are useless without programs, in fact programs are like recipe. It contains a
list of variables and a list of statements that tell that what to do with these
variables. These variables can represent numeric data, text or images.
Every
program must be translated into machine language that computer can understand. This
translation is done by compilers, interpreters or assemblers.
When we buy
any software, we normally buy an executable version of the program which means
that program is already compiled and assembled and which means that program is
in machine language also.
Advantages of Computer Program:
·
A
computer program can solve many problems by giving instruction to computer.
·
Computer
program is used to perform a specific task quickly which is being used
repeatedly.
·
It
can process a large amount of data easily and quickly.
·
It
can display the results in different styles.
·
It
can process a program more efficiently and with less time consuming.
·
Computer
program has ability to perform complex tasks without making human-types errors,
such as mistakes caused by lack of focus, energy, attention or memory.
·
Computer
program has more design freedom, including ease of modification and
duplication, re-boot, capability to debug, backup and to attempt numerous
designs at a time.
·
Computer
program has ability to communicate and share information at greater rate and on
greater level than human being.
Disadvantages of computer program:
·
Disadvantage
of interpreter is that computer programs run slower than when they are
compiled. Interpreting code is slower than running the compiled code version
because interpreter decode every statement each time when it is loaded and then
perform the desired task.
·
No
properties of a computer programming language is required for computer program
to be exclusively compiled or exclusively interpreter.
