Concept in Definition ABC

It is called order to the execution of the actions under a coordinated form.

The word "order" has different meanings, all of which refer to the idea of coordination, joint action or agreed in advance, succession and establishment of a stage of harmony and Balance.

If you speak of "giving an order", you are referring to giving an instruction, often mandatory, regarding an action to be carried out. The orders are usually related to hierarchical dispositions and must be followed by those individuals of a lower degree.

On computing, the orders are those instructions that one instance commands another for their execution. An order can be something as simple as the interaction of a user with his computer: the individual selects an option from a menu or clicks on an icon and the processor the system receives an order to activate it, execute a program or perform another type of action of various kinds. Internally, this also happens: the processor issues orders to the different parts or components of a system so that they behave in a certain way. For example, the processor gives the command to

monitor to turn off or to the speaker to play music or to printer to generate a copy of an image. All of these orders occur quickly and permanently, and in many cases simultaneously.

In addition, when a programmer develops a software or application, he also gives it a series of orders to act or react in this or that way when the user selects an option or activates a command. The program defaults to responding one way each time the same command is activated.

In short, all the components of a computer system are interconnected with each other for the purpose of giving and receiving orders for their correct functioning.
