running programs

Running a program means the computer is actively executing a set of instructions stored in the program's code. The process involves the computer's CPU reading these instructions, performing calculations, and managing data as directed. This execution allows the program to perform its intended tasks, such as displaying a website, editing a document, or playing a video. Running a program also involves the system managing resources like memory and processing power, ensuring the program functions smoothly without disrupting other tasks. Essentially, it’s the computer bringing the program's instructions to life to achieve specific outcomes.
