A computer is an electronic (or electromechanical) device that can handle input, processing and produce output.

A computer program is a set of rules or instructions that enables the computer to perform these tasks (input, processing and output).

They work together, a computer is useless without a computer program, and a computer program cannot work without a computer. It is a symbiotic relationship.
