A programme is a set of coded instructions according to which an electronic device (such as a computer) is to process, store or present data or according to which the behaviour of an electronic device (such as a robot or a modern sewing machine) is controlled Computer programmes as well as computer data are represented in binary code The current distinction between programmes and data is becoming increasingly dim since programmes and data are more and more often combined in objects [2] that include both the data and the instructions for their own behaviour
