1. Algorithm

   • Heart of computer science
   • List of rules to follow in order to solve a problem
   • Before you write code

3. Software

   • Variable part of a computer
   • Hardware the invariable part
   • Main software categories
     • Application software
     • System software
   • General term for the various kinds of programs used to operate computers and related devices

4. Program

   • Specific set of ordered operations for a computer to perform.
   • Interactive or batch in terms of what drives them and how continuously they run

5. Programming

   • Process of taking an algorithm and encoding it into a notation
     • so that it can be executed by a computer
   • The way that we create a representation for our solutions

6. Programming language

   • Computer language engineered to create a standard form of commands
   • Programs are created through this to control the behavior and output of a machine through accurate algorithms, similar to the human communication process

7. Programming importance

   • For speeding up the input and output processes in a machine
   • To automate, collect, manage, calculate, analyze processing of data and information accurately
