Question

Fundamental differences between data and programs

Answer 1

Answer:

Data is just raw fact,which adds no meaning to a statement or it does not help in any decision making purposes.

Program is collection of some instructions,which perform some task and provides us with some desirable output whenever executed by computer.

                                                   OR

Program is an instruction that goes to your CPU and your CPU decides which pins on the CPU are turned on or off based on the instructions. Data is bits and bytes just like a program but does not go into your CPU as instructions, rather its used by program to carry out certain process.
