Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.<\/p>\n<p>A computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some kind of memory, typically semiconductor memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logical operations, and the memory stores information.
