The basic computer has two parts: Random Access Memory (RAM) and a Central Processing Unit (CPU)
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.
That is all that computers do. Whether that qualifies as "thinking" is a very controversial question.
