SOFTWARE C

DEFINITION AND ITS TYPES

WHEN A COMPUTER TURNS ON
•The first thing a computer has to do when it is
turned on is start up a special program called
an operating system. It’s job is to help other
computer programs to work by handling the
messy details of controlling the computer's
hardware.
WHEN A COMPUTER TURNS ON
•The process of bringing up the operating system
is called booting (originally this
was bootstrapping and alluded to the process of
pulling yourself up "by your bootstraps"). Your
computer knows how to boot because
instructions for booting are built into one of its
chips, the BIOS (or Basic Input/Output System)
chip.
WHEN A COMPUTER TURNS ON
•The BIOS chip tells it to look in a fixed place,
usually on the lowest-numbered hard disk
(the boot disk) for a special program called
a boot loader (under Linux the boot loader is
called Grub or LILO). The boot loader is pulled
into memory and started. The boot loader's job is
to start the real operating system.
What is Software?
•It is a collection of
programs (programs are
sets of instructions that
allow the computer
execute operations and
tasks)
Types of software
There are three main types:
1. Systems Software - This refers to all programs which control the basic functions of a
computer. They include operating systems, systems, system utilities (e.g. an anti-virus
program, a back-up utility) and language translators (e.g. a compiler – the software that
translates instructions into machine code).
2. Programming software
3. Application Software
