Program

1. A software application, or software program, is the most commonly found and run files on a computer. An example of a software application is Microsoft Word, which is a word processor allowing users to create and write documents. Without programs, a user may have an operating computer, but would not be able to do much with it.
   
   Many program files on IBM compatible computers commonly end with a file extension of .BAT, .EXE, .COM, or .PIF. Executing these files will commonly open the program.
