What is the difference between a calculater and computer?

        We know that calculator works with numbers. So does the computer. So what is the difference between them?

        To put it simply, calculators can do only one thing at a time. When you want to solve a problem, you have to press various buttons after each step to tell it what to do next. On the other hand, a computer can be given a series of instructions. These instructions are known as computer programmers.

      A program tells the computer what to do next, when you assign a task to it. The computer will follow all the steps according to the program, and give you the answer without any further instruction from the person.
