When running a program, an instruction to the user to enter data for the program to process is known by what term?

Hi Maddyhubbert! The answer is "prompt".

Explanation:

To get user input when running a program for processing, we prompt the user to enter the values for the program to proceed further. This is normally coded into the application as a printed line asking the user for some input, followed by a command to scan the input (completed when the user hits 'Enter').

A prompt

A prompt is used as a directive in programs in programming languages to tell the user what to do to interact with the program especially when the program is running. It is a descriptive instruction that guides the users of a program. With a prompt, the user has an idea of what to do.

Prompts are basically chunks of texts in the form of statements. For example, let's assume a user runs an application that adds two numbers together. A prompt might be something like this;

Please enter the first number

This statement tells the user to enter one of the two numbers to be added.
