The basic computer has two parts: Random Access Memory (RAM) and a Central Processing Unit (CPU.) A microprocessor is a CPU that is built on a single chip.
RAM is a place where many bytes are stored. One of the things that can be stored in RAM is a series of "instructions" that tell the CPU what to do. The series of instructions is called a "program."
The CPU "fetches" one instruction from RAM, "executes" that instruction, then fetches and executes the next one, and so on.
Exactly what the instructions in the program tell the computer to do determines how the computer will act at any given time.
