Computer
Science deals with all computer related concepts. Computer Science
involves designing software (computer programs) and addressing fundamental
scientific questions about the nature of computation. It also involves many
aspects of hardware and architecture the large computer systems that form the
infrastructure of commercial and government enterprises. Computer scientists
work in many different ways: pen-and-paper theoretical work on the foundations
and fundamentals, programming work at the computer and collaborative teamwork
in doing research and solving problems. Computer
Science commonly gets confused with information technology, but Computer
Science differs from its related fields as it more concerned on understanding
the programs properties which are used for creating new softwares for games and
various applications related to computers.
