∙ 14y agoA list of instructions for a computer is called a program. Each program has multiple 'lines' which are individual tasks for the computer to do. the compilation of these lines to create an effect is called a program. E.G:
a=input (what is the first number? )
b=input (what is the second number? )
c=a + b
print "the sum of your numbers is " c
this is a sample of programming in the python programming language
