The instruction set of a computer is the collection of commands that its Central Processing Unit (CPU) can carry out natively. These are the things that the processor inherently knows how to do if asked.

∙ 11y agoA computer's instruction set is typically defined by the built-in central processing unit's machine language, a set of typically primitive instructions for simple operations such as read and writing of data from and to memory, simple arithmetic and basic comparisons.
Most computer programs are written using a higher level language (which is translated into the machine language by a software development tool's compiler and assembler). The higher level language provides much more complex operations, for example as complex as matrix arithmetic.
Higher level programming languages are mostly standardized (or follow a quasi-standard), so that a given computer's particular set of machine language becomes increasingly irrelevant to software developers.

What is the difference between computer based teaching computer assisted and computer managed instruction?
In computer based teaching the teacher physically present in fron of you and explain theoritical topics on board and practical topics on computers. In computer assist teaching the teacher not physically present around you he will teach you through the net on video confrensing, the all the theory and practical material provided in the soft copy. In computer managed instruction the computer provides the instruction there no any person behing the instruction the instruction managed by computer as preprogramed by programmer.

What set of instructions tell the computer what to do?
A program is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do. In the computer, those instructions are called opcodes and make up an instruction set.
