This document defines and describes different types of computer software. It explains that software refers to programs and procedures that enable computers to perform tasks, as opposed to hardware which can only perform mechanically designed functions. There are two main types of software: system software and application software. System software includes operating systems, which manage computer resources and allow other programs to run. Application software solves specific tasks for users like creating documents or playing games. Software automates tasks to reduce workloads and errors compared to human performance. It has many uses across different sectors and industries.

2. What is Software?
The term Software refers to a set of
Computer programs, procedures and
associated documents describing the
programs , and how they are to be used.

3. *Software consists of programs and enables a
computer to perform specific tasks, as opposed to its physical
components (hardware) which can only do the tasks they are
mechanically designed for.
*It is loaded into a computer's storage (such as
a hard drive, a memory, or RAM). Once the
software is loaded, the computer is able to
execute the software in the Central Processing
Unit (CPU).

4. Types of Computer Software

5. System Software
• The operating system and all the tools
that make the computer work are
considered system software. Any
computer program that maintains and
controls the hardware so that
application software can carry out a
task is known as system software.

6. Examples:
Microsoft
Android iOS
Linux
Windows

7. Some common system
software examples are:
• Operating System:
It is the most well-known instance of system
software. It is a group of programs that manages
resources and gives all the other apps that use
them general services. Even though each
Operating System is unique, most of them offer a
Graphical User Interface that enables users to
manage files and directories as well as carry out
other operations. An operating system is
necessary for every device, whether it is a
desktop, laptop, or mobile phone, in order to give
it the necessary functionality.

8. • Android
• CentOS
• iOS
• Linux
• Mac OS
• MS Windows
• Ubuntu
• Unix
Some examples of Operating
systems given below:

9. Application
Software
• Application Software is a set of
one or more programs, which
solves a specific Task.
• Application Software includes
programs that o real work for
a user.

10. • Software that assists the user in doing tasks
like conducting online research, taking
notes, setting an alarm, creating images,
maintaining an account log, performing
computations, or even playing games are
known as end-user programs or
productivity applications.

11. • A browser, for instance, is a program created
just for browsing the internet, whereas MS
Powerpoint is a program used only for
creating presentations. Application software,
often known as apps, is also referred to as
non-essential software because its necessity
is highly debatable, and its removal has no
negative effects on the system's operation.

12. Application Software
*Example:

13. Example of Software

14. • By automating tasks, the software lessens
workload. Additionally, it helps to eliminate

software contributes to a more pleasant living.
For instance, computer software has made it
simpler than ever to browse for any desired
information or items and to connect with
individuals around the world.

15. Conclusion
Although there are different types of
Computer Software. These software use in
different sectors. Their operating process is
also different. Some types of Software works
Graphically, some works on Database
Management System, some on Word
Processors etc. Day by day software's are
upgrading.
