Computer program

A computer program is an ordered set of instructions or statements and related data that, when automatically executed in actual or modified form in a computer system, causes it to perform specified functions.FN33

A more specific reference to control language appears in the Maryland law, which defines this term as any ordered statements that direct a computer to perform specific functions.FN34

In cases involving trade secrecy misappropriation or copyright infringement, the definition of program may be an issue.FN35
