A computer system includes hardware, software, and a user. The hardware components are the physical parts like input devices (mouse, keyboard), storage devices (flash drive, hard drive), processing devices (CPU), and output devices (monitor, printer). Software is made up of system software, which manages the computer's basic functions, application software, which provides special functions, and programming software for developers. A computer can be programmed to carry out instructions automatically and perform a wide range of tasks.

What is a computer?
 an electronic device for storing and processing data,
typically in binary form, according to instructions
given to it in a variable program. (Oxford)
 A computer is a machine that can be programmed
to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical
operations automatically. Modern computers can
perform generic sets of operations known
as programs. These programs enable computers to
perform a wide range of tasks. A computer
system is a "complete" computer that includes
the hardware, operating system (main software),
and peripheral equipment needed and used for "full"
operation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer)

Component of the Computer System
Hardware – refers to the physical parts of the computer
Software – is a collection of instructions and data that tell a computer how to work
User -a person who uses or operates something, especially a computer or other machine.( Oxford Languages)

Components of the Hardware
1. Input Devices - s a piece of hardware used to provide data to a computer used for interaction and control
(ex. Mouse, Keyboard & Microphone)
2. Storage Devices - any type of hardware that stores data (ex. Flash Drive, Memory Card, Hard Drive)
3. Processing Device - are the components responsible for the processing of information within the computer system (ex.
CPU)
4. Output Devices- are the components responsible for the processing of information within the computer system
( ex. Monitor, Printer)

Types of Software
1. System Software - software for managing computer hardware behavior, as to provide basic functionalities that are required
by users, or for other software to run properly, if at all. System software is also designed for providing a platform for running application software
2. Application Software- software that uses the computer system to perform special functions or provide entertainment functions
beyond the basic operation of the computer itself
3. Programming Software- are also software in the form of programs or applications that software developers (also known as programmers, coders,
hackers or software engineers) use to create, debug, maintain (i.e. improve or fix), or otherwise support software.
