## Program and Process

We will talk a lot about the running "**process**", so it's useful to have clarity about what it means, and what's the difference with the word "**program**".

### What is a Program

The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

* The **code** that you write, the **Python files**.

     * @return true if the OS matches
     *

        // windows probing logic relies on the word 'windows' in the OS
        boolean isWindows = actualOsName.contains(FAMILY_WINDOWS);
        boolean is9x = false;
        boolean isNT = false;
        if (isWindows) {

//
// OpVarDef is a bit of a kludge to work around the fact that the instruction
// stream is working on single-word values but the liveness analysis
// wants to work on individual variables, which might be multi-word
// aggregates. It might make sense at some point to look into letting
// the liveness analysis work on single-word values as well, although
// there are complications around interface values, slices, and strings,
