A computer program is a set of instructions telling a computer how to perform a specific task. Every computer program is an algorithm. (Herbert, C. 2014).
Anything that is manipulated by a computer program is an object. It is possible for modern computers to manipulate many objects at the same time. (Herbert, C. 2014).
Coffee makers: Coffee machine is one of the popular items in many people house hold. It is great to have fresh coffee made in the morning while we are getting ready to start our day. Most of Coffee machines are automated steps as well as timer built in the machine. From starting grinding coffee fresh to our desire coffee and to brewing process it’s all uses the programing.
TELEVISIONS: These days’ televisions have computer programming ability, and even some of them have ability of automatically record programs, internet access and parental control features.
Smart Phones: Technology has made these smart phones basically work as smaller version of computer. So, it’s clear that is been programed in order to function in different task we use them.
Microwaves: This machine which is a timesaver (easy life) to many families uses programming in order to determine cooking times from some easy operation keys.
Dishwashers: Dishwashers are very simple to use. You can use your favorite setting and let the programing of the machine to take care of the rest. From water temperature to spray soap, rinse and heating cycle will be done step by step till the job is perfectly done.
I do not think there are any additional steps needed to use these machines I named above, and I also do not think any steps need to be taking off for the way they function either. They are well programed in my opinion.
