  Instruction \In*struc"tion\, n. [L. instructio: cf. F.
     instruction.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. The act of instructing, teaching, or furnishing with
        knowledge; information.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. That which instructs, or with which one is instructed; the
        intelligence or information imparted; as:
        (a) Precept; information; teachings.
        (b) Direction; order; command. ``If my instructions may be
            your guide.'' --Shak.
  
     3. (Computers) a segment of coded data that is interpreted by
        a computer as a command to perform an operation or series
        of operations. The term instruction is applied to both the
        electronic form of the data as represented in and executed
        by the computer, and to any line of written computer code
        which is interpreted as one instruction by a compiler. A
        computer program is comprised of one or more
        instructions.
  
     Note: Instructions as contained in a program are formulated
           in a programming language, which may be an assembly
           language, in which one instruction corresponds to one
           command executed by the coputer, or in a higher-level
           programming language, in which one instruction may
           represent one of many instructions in assembly
           language. Higher-level programming languages include,
           for example, FORTRAN, ALGOL, ADA, C, "C++", COBOL, and
           JAVA; each of these languages have their own
           distinctive set of allowable instructions.
  
     Syn: command, statement, line of code, program line.
          [PJC]
  
     Syn: Education; teaching; indoctrination; information;
          advice; counsel. See Education.
          [1913 Webster]
