This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Computer science is the study of computers, including their theoretical foundations, algorithms, hardware, and software. It focuses on computation, information, and automation using computational systems. Algorithms, which provide instructions for tasks, play a central role in computer science

Additional Context

These are the more important area of computer science:
Data Structures: Organizing and managing data (e.g., arrays, linked lists, trees).

Algorithms: Step-by-step instructions for solving problems (e.g., sorting, searching).

Programming Languages: Tools for writing software (e.g., Python, Java, C++).

Operating Systems: Managing hardware resources (e.g., memory, processes).

Databases: Storing and retrieving structured data (e.g., SQL databases).

Artificial Intelligence: Creating intelligent systems (e.g., machine learning, neural networks).

Computer Networks: Connecting devices (e.g., TCP/IP, routers).

Software Engineering: Developing reliable, maintainable software.

Theory of Computation: Understanding what computers can and cannot do (e.g., Turing machines, complexity theory).
