A program in execution is defined as a process. A process is an instance of a program running. It includes the program code, its current activity, its memory space, and resources allocated to it by the operating system.

– A process is a dynamic entity representing a program in action.
– A program is a static set of instructions.

Operating systems manage processes, allocating system resources such as CPU time, memory, and I/O devices to them. Different processes can run concurrently, giving the illusion of parallel execution even on a single-processor system through techniques like time-sharing.
