System software and application software are the two main categories of software. System software controls the computer's hardware and includes the operating system, network operating systems, and utilities. Application software allows users to perform tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, graphics, multimedia, web design, email, and games. Without software instructions, a computer cannot perform any tasks. Software brings the computer's physical components to life by telling the machine what to do.

4.  What is software?
software
Software is a set of instructions that make the computer
perform task. In other words , software tells the computer
what to do .(the term program refers to any piece of
software) . Some program exist primarily for the computer’s
use to help it perform task and manage its own resources .
Other types of programs exist for the user , enabling him or
her to reform task such as creating documents . Thousand of
different software program are available for use an personal
computers

5.  Software brings the machine to life :
The ingredient that enable a computer to perform a specific task is software, which
consists of instruction .
A set of instruction that drive a computer to perform specific task is c/d
program .
 This instruction tell the machine ‘s physical components what to do: without the
instruction . a computer could not do any thing at all . When a computer uses a
particular program , it is said to be running or executing that program.
although the array of available programs is vast and varied , most software fall
into two categories :
1.System software and
2.Application software

6. 1. System software :
System software is any program that control that computer’s hardware or that can be used to maintain the computer in
some way so that is run more efficiently . There are three basic types of system software :
1) An operating system tells the computer how to use its own components.
Example of operating systems include windows . The macintosh operating system and linux. An operating an
operating system is essential for any computer, because it acts as an interpreter b/w the hardware, application
program, and user.
When a program want the hardware, to do something it communicates through the operating system .
Similarly when you want the hardware to do something(such as copying or printing a file),your request is
handled by the operating system.
2) A network operating system allows computers to communicate and share data across a network while
controlling network operation and overseeing the network’s security .
3) A utility is a program that makes the computer system easier to use or performs that makes highly
specialized functions. Utilities are use to manage the disks , troubleshoot used hardware problems, and
perform other tasks that the operating system itself may not be ale to do .

7. Applicationsoftware:
Application software tells the computers how to accomplish specific tasks , such as word processing or drawing , for the user .
Thousand of applications are available for many purposes and for people of all ages . some of the major categories of these
applications include:
 Word processing software for creating text-based document such as newsletters or brochures.
 Spreadsheets for creating numeric- based documents such as budgets or balance sheets.
 Database management software for building and manipulating large sets of data , such as the names , addresses, and phone
numbers in a telephone directory.
 Presenting programs for creating and presenting electronic slide .
 Graphic programs for designing illustration or manipulating photographs, movies, an animation .
 Multimedia authoring applications for building digital movies that incorporate sound , video , animation , and interactive
features .
 Entertainment and education software , many of which are interactive multimedia events .
 Web designing tools and web browsers , and other internet applications such as newsreaders an e-mail programs .
 Games such of which are for a single player and many of which can be played y several people over a network or the internet .
