⇑Definitions and quotes

Computer
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
Programming
Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?
Brian Kernighan, "The Elements of Programming Style", 2nd edition, chapter 2
Programming
The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements.
Brian Kernighan, "Unix for Beginners" (1979)
Programming
The most important thing in a programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name, and now I am looking for a suitable language.
Donald Knuth (1938–) [citation needed]
