THE COMPUTER AND STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
We all know by now that unlike us, the
computer cannot think and take decisions on
its own. Instead, a computer uses stepwise
instructions called programming given by
us. Programming is a process of creating a
set of instructions that tell a computer how to
perform a particular task.
