AA automatic programming technique for computers in which the
computer itself prepares many of the detailed instructions of a
program. It permits the statement of a problem (or program) in
terms very nearly approximating everyday mathematical, notation. The
programmer thus doesn't have to learn the detailed language of a
particular computer. The computer automatically converts from every_
day language to computer language.

a relatively slow means of making hence, is
n8 a data input to a computer.
Cinitor Stem
In effect, a high-level computer program designed to control the
operation of several sub- or unrelated routines so as to use the computer
met advantageously. The monitor system instructs the computer to per-
form automatically several, of the operations that are common to a set
of Individual,, programs. The programmer thus does not have to write all
of these detailed Instructions into each of his programs.

precisely how to go about Solving a problem.
