by your logic, any written text is a program, which is nonsense. A program automates a process, in a compact form. This requires, at least, a language with looping constructs. And conditional operators, otherwise loops would always be infinite.

ASCII is a code for representing information. The program that runs in a terminal to display info on a screen is the actual set of instructions.

As Wirth used to say: algorithms + data structures = programs. Don't confuse data with code.
