A computer program is a series of instructions for a computer, and 'instructions' could be used to describe a program in relevant context, as also could 'computer code'.

A set of electronic instructions that tell the computer what to do?

A set of electronic instructions that tells the computer what to do is called a program. Programs are essentially algorithms to a solution that are written in a language the computer can understand.


What is the meaning of software programming?

A program is a list of instructions for a computer to do a task. That task can be simple or it could be part of a huge application. Anything you use on a computer, like a word processor or a browser or a game are all programs. Someone has written the code to get that program to work. Programs are written in languages. There are lots of programming languages. A computer converts those instructions into a form it can understand called machine code or binary notation and then follows the instructions. So if you write computer programs, you are creating software and that is software programming.


"What are Ada Lovelace's discoveries (NOT ACCOMPLISHMENTS)?

Ada Lovelace discovered that a computer could follow a sequence of instructions—that is, a program. In her writings about Charles Babbage’s proposed computer, the Analytical Engine, she showed that the computer could follow a series of steps to make complex calculations, and she speculated that such programs could work with “other things besides number.”

What is Stored program computer?

'Stored program' was the breakthrough that enabled computers to perform complex tasks in fractions of a second. Being able to do arithmetic and evaluate formulas fast would be useless if a person had to keep telling the computer what to do next. The trick was encoding the list of instructions into numbers that could coexist in the computer's memory along with data, and having a 'processor' built into the machine to decode and execute the instructions. Now the computer could do both, calculate and control the sequence of calculations, at electronic speed. Many credit John von Neumann with devising the stored program concept, but probably several others were also involved.
