COMPUTING CONCEPT

The computer is defined as any goal-oriented activity that requires, benefits from, or creates computing machinery. It entails the investigation and testing of algorithmic processes, as well as the creation of hardware and software. It includes scientific, engineering, mathematical, technological, and social components. Information systems, computer science, software engineering, data science, information technology, computer engineering, and cybersecurity are examples of computing fields.
