Definition of Operation

Originating in operative Latin , the concept of operation refers to the act and the result of operating (a verb that describes the realization or execution on a living organism of multiple healing acts). The operation involves implanting, removing, amputating, sewing or restoring organs, body parts or tissues . For example: "My father needs a cardiac operation to survive" , "I got hurt playing soccer and the only option I have left is the meniscus operation" .

In the medical case, we find a large number of operations that have become the most frequent in an operating room. Among them are appendectomy, biopsy, caesarean section or coronary artery bypass.

At a general level, operation is understood as the concretion of something: "A political operation has left the socialist leader without a place in the cabinet" , "My boss is furious at the press operation against the company" .

In the field of trade , an operation constitutes a negotiation or allows the contract to be named on securities or merchandise, as is the case with stock exchange operations .

In the field of mathematics , however, it is known as operations to the group of rules that enable, from one or more quantities or expressions (understood as data ), find out and get other figures or structures (which are called results ).

Thus, among the most frequent mathematical operations or that are the basis of the rest of this science are addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

An operation can also be developed in the military field . In this case, it is a logistical planning that is carried out with a defined objective: "The operation at the border has been a success and we have detected several secret positions of the enemy" .

Among the most relevant military operations would be, for example, the so-called Operation Fénix that took place in 2008 and consisted of an attack by the Colombian Area Force in the Peruvian jungle area of ​​Santa Rosa de Yanamaru. This action ended the lives of more than twenty guerrillas of the FARC.

In the same way, we must not forget the Operation or Battle of Gallipoli that took place during the First World War and consisted of the bombardment, by French and English ships, of the strong Ottomans.

Finally, in computer science , a program or software performs operations that are specified as part of an instruction so that it is specified by a computer . The instructions, therefore, are composed of logical operations that are transformed into actions from their execution by computer equipment.

In addition to all that we have mentioned, we have to show that in the last decade there has been a great international success of a Spanish television program called Operación Triunfo . A reality in which several young passionate about music try to make a place in the world art scene.

In 2001, this space began its journey, which has up to now with eight editions, and it did so by becoming an authentic mass phenomenon. Its first edition has been the most successful and from it came out singers of great current renown such as Rosa Lopez, David Bisbal, David Bustamante or Chenoa.
