C++ for Everyone by Cay Horstmann Copyright © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons. All rights reserved Computers can carry out a wide range of tasks because they execute different programs, each of which directs the computer to work on a specific task. The computer itself is a machine that stores data (numbers, words, pictures), interacts with devices (the monitor, the sound system, the printer), and executes programs. What Is Programming?
