Elementary computational steps
Basic operations are the fundamental procedures in a field or system.
In mathematics, the basic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—the building blocks for all other calculations.
In computing, basic operations include reading, writing, and processing data.
The term appears wherever complex tasks reduce to a small set of essential actions: She mastered the basic operations of the software before attempting advanced features.
