👉 Straight computing, also known as linear or sequential computing, is a fundamental model of computation where data and instructions are processed in a linear sequence, one after the other, without any branching or parallelism. In this model, each step depends on the previous one, and the program executes a series of instructions in a fixed order. This approach is straightforward and easy to implement, making it foundational for understanding more complex computational models. Unlike parallel or distributed computing, where multiple processors handle different parts of a task simultaneously, straight computing relies on a single processor executing instructions sequentially, making it simpler but potentially less efficient for tasks that can benefit from concurrent processing.
