A '''program''' is the expression, in either [[assembly language]] or a higher-level [[programming language]] of the steps needed to accomplish a particular computational goal.

A program will include:

* statements to perform arithmetical computations
* direction to move data from one place to another
* [[control flow]] directives, including [[conditional branch]]es and [[subroutine]] calls

Programs will be converted from their original human-readable [[source code]] to [[object code]] (by tools such as [[assembly language|assembler]]s and [[compiler]]s), and loaded into the [[main memory]] of the computer, from where the [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]] will fetch the individual [[instruction]]s of the program, and execute them.
