     subtype:  #boolean_operation__booleanoperation__binary_operation__binary_arithmetic_operation  an operation that follows the rules of boolean algebra; each operand and the result take one of two values
     subtype:  #computer_operation__machine_operation__machineoperation  an elementary operation that a computer is designed and built to perform
        subtype:  #floating-point_operation__flop  an arithmetic operation performed on floating-point numbers; "this computer can perform a million flops per second"
        subtype:  #retrieval.computer_operation  (computer science) the operation of accessing information from the computer's memory
     subtype:  #concurrent_operation  two or more operations performed at the same time (or within a give interval)
     subtype:  #control_operation__controloperation__control_function__controlfunction  an operation that controls the recording or processing or transmission of interpretation of data; "a control operation started the data processing"
     subtype:  #dyadic_operation  an operation on exactly two operands
     subtype:  #fixed-cycle_operation__fixedcycleoperation  an operation that is completed in a specified number of regularly timed execution cycles
     subtype:  #logic_operation__logicoperation__logical_operation__logicaloperation  an operation that follows the rules of symbolic logic
     subtype:  #monadic_operation__monadicoperation__unary_operation__unaryoperation  an operation with exactly one operand
     subtype:  #multiplex_operation__multiplexoperation  an operation in which two or more activities are interleaved
     subtype:  #parallel_operation__simultaneous_operation  the simultaneous execution of two or more operations
     subtype:  #printing_operation  an operation that controls the printing or display of information
        subtype:  #carriage_return  the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed as the first character on a line
        subtype:  #line_feed  the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed on the next line
        subtype:  #new_line__newline  the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed as the first character on the next line
     subtype:  #lookup__search  an operation that determines whether one or more of a set of items has a specified property; "they wrote a program to do a table lookup"
     subtype:  #serial_operation__sequential_operation__consecutive_operation__consecutiveoperation  the sequential execution of operations one after another
     subtype:  #sort.operation__sorting  an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion; "the bottleneck in mail delivery it the process of sorting"
     subtype:  #synchronous_operation__synchronousoperation  operations that are initiated predictably by a clock
     subtype:  #threshold_operation  an operation performed on operands in order to obtain the value of a threshold function
        subtype:  #majority_operation  a threshold operation in which each operand is 0 or 1; output is 1 if and only if more than half the operands have the value 1
  subtype:  #priority_processing  data processing in which the operations performed are determined by a system of priorities
     subtype:  #background_processing__backgrounding  the execution of low priority programs while higher priority programs are not using the processing system
     subtype:  #foreground_processing__foregrounding  the execution of a program that preempts the use of the processing system
  subtype:  #real-time_processing__real-time_operation  data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process
  subtype:  #serial_processing  sequential processing by two or more processing units
  subtype:  #word_processing__wordprocessing  rapid and efficient processing (storage and printing) of linguistic data for composition and editing
