计算机程序是一组指令，作为术语，它既可以用作动词又可以用作名词。就动词而言，它用作通过使用编程语言来创建软件程序的过程。就名词而言，应用程序，程序或应用程序软件用于在计算机上执行特定任务。例如，Microsoft PowerPoint是一个应用程序，它提供了一种创建与演示文稿相关的文档的方法。此外，浏览器也是一种应用程序，它使我们可以浏览任何网站。
所有应用程序都可以称为程序，但是程序不能是应用程序。应用程序是旨在帮助最终用户实现目的的程序的集合。这些程序相互通信以执行任务或活动。没有执行最终用户命令的程序和功能，它就不可能存在。程序是指令的集合，描述了计算机要执行的任务。
该程序使计算机能够执行特定的操作。与没有应用软件(程序)一样，计算机能够与操作系统一起运行，但是不能执行任何特定任务。例如，如果要创建Word文档，则必须在计算机上安装Microsoft Word。它是一种程序或应用程序软件，指示计算机如何创建，编辑和保存文档或文件。
程序的函数取决于程序的类型。例如，Microsoft Excel程序的函数是创建，编辑和查看与计算和数据分析等有关的文档。Internet浏览器的函数是在万维网上查找信息并将其显示在屏幕上。基本上，程序被设计为执行特定的任务或函数。例如，一个Excel程序能够创建一个文档，但是它不能像浏览器那样在万维网上找到信息。
Tom Kilburn编写了第一个存储在电子内存中的软件程序。它于1948年6月21日在英格兰曼彻斯特大学成功执行。该程序被计算为整数218 = 262,144的最大因子。该计算机称为商城规模实验机(SSEM)，称为曼彻斯特宝贝。这种情况被认为是第一个软件的诞生。
如今，有各种类型的程序可用于手机，计算机和其他设备。下表包含一些带有类别和简要说明的程序示例。
