Question: 1 / 400

What is a computer program?

A prewritten set of instructions

A computer program is a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do and how to do it. These instructions are written by a programmer and can perform a variety of tasks such as calculations, data processing, and controlling hardware devices like printers and keyboards. While a programming language (option B) is used to write computer programs, it is not the program itself. A software update (option C) is a new version of an existing program, not the program itself. Logic symbols (option D) are tools used in programming, but they are not a complete program. Therefore, the correct answer is A, a prewritten set of instructions.
