Daruma is an unknown quantity at this point
Default execute

Hi,

A computer (or computer system) is basically an electronic machine that can carry out specific tasks by following sequences of instructions. A program includes such a sequence of instructions together with data definitions. The computer executes the program by performing one instruction after the other in the specified order.

Is it possible to replace the "executes" with "carries out" or "implements" without changing the meaning?
