10,799 PointsHEY UMANG! YOU DO NOT NEED TO TYPE ALL OF YOUR LETTERS IN CAPITAL :D! Think of any program you know? Word, excel, a calculator, a game, whatever.. All of these programs takes in some sort of information and then spits out an output when the inputs have been processed. For instance your calculator, it takes in whatever inputs the user chooses, ie. the numbers and the operation he wants to perform. For example 2+2, the program then computes and spits out the result which in this case would be 4. This is what hes talking about. For more detail you would have to dive into the coding itself, but if your just getting started this is sufficient knowleagde, although please write back if you need more help!

10,799 PointsHey again umang! As i said this is a very in depth topic that i recommend you research on your own. That being said your questions are hard to answer because theyre very vague. How do programs constantly handle data? Answer: Not all programs are? If we stop them they stop, some programs stops them selfs when theyre done running, some servers run constantly, how do they handle data constantly? Well they just continue executing theyre instructions?? Im not sure what you mean by this question. Where are they storing all that information? Once again depends, maybe they send it to a database, maybe they store it temporarly on the users RAM. Maybe they save it to a harddisk. How do they perform what we want them to? By programming them :P. Most programs like python ruby javascript etc. they use a compiler that converts the readable code we input, to machine code (1s and 0s) that the computer can understand. How are the executing all that? This is done in the prosessor or maybe in the gpu.
