Can a software program evolve without losing its identity?
Imagine you've got a favorite app that keeps getting better and better, fixing bugs and adding cool new features. You're still using the same app, right?
A software program can grow and change over time through updates, but it's still the same program because it's continuously improved and maintained by its original developers or a community.
Example
Your favorite app went from 1.0 to 2.0, fixing bugs along the way and adding new features like voice commands.
Remember this
The software's core identity remains intact through continuous updates, even as it evolves.
