How does a computer get instructions?

A computer is given instructions by a human using a keyboard or another input device. To interpret these instructions, the computer uses an operating system or software that's also programmed by a human to translate the user commands into something the computer can understand.

Computer instructions are a set of steps or documentation that includes information on how to operate, perform, or otherwise maintain particular computer software or hardware. If a program or hardware device includes an instruction manual or online instructions, we recommend reviewing it before asking questions.
