Episode 2 - What is a Computer Program?

face Josiah Wang

Summary:

  • A program is a set of instructions that a computer can run.
  • A program takes some input, does some things with it, and produces an output.
  • A program aims to solve a specific task.
  • A program can try to figure out how to complete a task on its own, given some examples and some assumptions. This (to me) is machine learning.
