Document Summary

Token the smallest meaningful unit of information in a sequence of data in a computer. A sequence of bits passed continuously in a fixed order and enabling a node to transmit information. Computation that uses number is often called calculation. Computation is composed of many aspects, like communication, simulation, information storage & retrieval. But in cs 174, computational problem solving which can be used in application creation is mainly talked. In other words, computation is used for computational problem solving. The computer program is a high-level description written in a programming language and the computer can only execute machine instructions. A program that converts instructions into a machine-code or lower-level form so that they can be read and executed by a computer. It is a kind of translator that translates an entire program into machine instructions by compiling it. All of the machine instructions are then executed by the computer to perform the entire computation.
