A program is a series of instructions to be executed in order. A computer program is a program written in a computer programming language, executed on a computer. It is sometimes used as a synonym for "software"; although the main part of any software is programs, software also often includes resource files that contain data of some kind; these are not part of the program per se. An abstract program is sometimes called an algorithm.

see also: Computer software.
