Can a computer run a program's instructions out of order or skip steps?

Yes, but only under certain conditions:
- if the program instructions request changing the order of execution or skipping instructions by use of branch type instructions
- if external asynchronous events trigger an interrupt
- if internal error checks detect a problem (e.g. divide by zero, memory protection violation, stack overflow) in code execution triggers an exception
- if the hardware of the computer's CPU implements a feature called "out of order execution" that permits the CPU to determine a more optimal order of execution than the order the instructions actually appear in the code as written; however even with this feature the CPU must produce results identical to those that would be produced without this feature (the only difference allowed is the results are produced faster)
