please mark me as brainliestExplanation:We can restate our previous definition of a COMPUTER PROGRAM colloquially:A computer program is a step-by-step set of instructions to tell a computer to do things to stuff.We will be spending the REST of this book deepening and refining our understanding of exactly what kinds of things a computer can do. Your ability to program a computer effectively will depend in large part on your ability to understand these things well, so that you can express what you want to accomplish in a language the computer can execute.Before we get to that, however, we need to talk about the stuff on which computers operate.Computer programs operate on data. A single PIECE of data can be called a datum, but we will use the related term, value.A value is one of the fundamental things — like a letter or a number — that a program manipulates. The values we have seen so far are 4 (the result when we added 2 + 2), and "Hello, World!".Values are grouped into different data TYPES or classes.
