A series of instructions telling a computer how to read a compressed file is typically referred to as a decompression algorithm. This algorithm processes the compressed data, interpreting its format and reconstructing the original file by reversing the compression process. Common decompression algorithms include ZIP, GZIP, and LZ77, each designed for specific compression techniques. The computer executes these instructions to restore the file to its usable form.
A computer program is a series of instructions that tell a computer how to carry out a task.
A series of instructions is known as a program. The individual instructions are commands.

A program.
The special instructions that control the activities of a computer are called programs. A program is a series of instructions written in a way the computer understands.
A computer algorithm is a series of instructions performing a specific task.
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 program is a series of related instructions for a common purpose that tells a computer what to do and how to do it.
No, hardware does not consist of a series of instructions. Software is what consists of a series of instructions that tells the computer how and what to do. Examples of hardware includes plugs, cables, fans, circuit boards, and drive units.
Software is a series of instructions fed into a computer. The computer reads and follows these instructions. If that does something useful, good for it and good for the programmer who wrote and compiled those instructions.
A program is a sequence of instructions for a computer. Programs are written to tell a computer how to do a specific task.
