Data Collection
In Computer Science, data is often distinguished from programs. A set of instructions that detail the calculation of the program or the computer to perform the task. The data is all that is not the program code. The data is the information before it is in this context, the structure and meaning. An example would be; 03,091,989th First of all, this is not the meaning, but as we seen in that context, as we all of a sudden 03/09/1989, the date that it is the format. But it is not, however, the meaning, so that when we say, 03/09/1989 - date of birth, we have successfully completed the amendment of 03091989 more understandable format.
Justification
In most modern digital and data are stored in the program using the same facilities (RAM, hard disk, etc.). This is called the Von Neumann architecture and design is what most people think of as "computer". Some computers use separate programs vs data; They are called the Harvard architecture, and computers are relatively rare. There is also a fixed-program computers, those which are the only thing that changes is the data. A simple desktop calculator is a good example of this is possible only to perform basic functions were programmed in the factory.
Typically, the various files used to store programs vs data. For example: the user can instruct the operating system to load the first word in one file and then edit a document stored in another file. In this example, the document would have the data. If the word processor's spell checker is also, in the dictionary (word list), that the spell checker would have to read the data. Algorithms used in the spell checker would have to recommend improvements to the code.
The line between code and data can become unclear. For example, the program is an interpreter. The input data to an interpreter program - not only one of the native machine language.
In many modern system designs, programs have been sectioned in different segments. Data segment (if any) must contain data. The original values established by the programmer at compile-time. The running program can generally change the values of the data segment, but can not change the size of the data segment.
A much larger view
In principle, the programming data for each developing country. The code is a special, highly structured, the data which constitutes the definition of what is programmed. The code is in the sense that it has a special structure, which is the designer of the system, which executes it. Sometimes it is the only way to determine the structure of the behavior of the program. The notion that the code is also the data used in the design of functional languages to introduce the so-called expressive power.
