What is a Program?
Generally, a program is a set of instructions which can be executed by a computer. Typically a program will take some input from the user and perform a specific task. In Excel if you write the number 1 in cell A1, and then in any other cell =A1+2, excel’s compiler will process those instructions and display 3.
