hardware – ANS The physical components of a computer.
software – ANS executable instructions that run on the hardware
program – ANS a set of instructions designed to perform some task
application program – ANS a application (app) designed to perform a task for a user
system program – ANS program that runs (often long-term or indefinitely) and manage other
programs or are used to build other programs
operating system – ANS a system program used to run a computer and manage application
programs on the computer. Examples: Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android.

software; the principal computer chip that contains several processing components, which
determines the computer's operating speed; the "brain" of a computer
Random Access Memory (RAM) – ANS Computer location where instructions and data are
stored on a temporary basis. This memory is volatile.
binary digit (bit) - ANSA digit that corresponds to the on and off states of a computer's switches.
A bit contains a value of either 0 or 1.
byte – ANS a group of 8 bits; can represent the numbers 0 to 255
word – ANS either four bytes (32-bit processor) or eight bytes (64-bit processor) representing
