Answer:

The 4 primary operations of a computer are:

Input

Processing

Storage

and Output

Input: the transferring of information into a computer system; data entry.

Processing: the manipulation and control of information (data) within the computer system.

Storage: the means by which information can be "permanently" saved (until such time if you want to delete it).

Output: the displaying of information.

Data refers to raw input that when processed or arranged makes meaningful output. Information is usually the processed outcome of data. When data is processed into information, it becomes interpretable and gains significance. In IT, symbols, characters, images, or numbers are data.

Information: Facts provided or learned about something or someone.

We can fall under both because some of us aren't professional programmars (end-users), the program is mainly want the end-user wants. Then, there are professional programmars who can make and create all of these websites and apps.
