    System software and application software are the two major types of computer programs. System software manages computer system resources and simplifies application programming, including operating systems, database management systems, translators, and utilities. Application software directs specific tasks for end users. The operating system controls computer resources by allocating memory, assigning input/output devices, managing data and program files, maintaining directories, and interacting with users.

    Computer hardware is virtually useless without computer software. Software is the


    programs that are needed to accomplish the input, processing, output, storage and
    control activities of information systems. Computer software is typically classified into
    two major types of programs: system software and application software.

    Application software are programs that direct the performance of a particular use or
    application processing needs of end users. System software are programs that manage
    the resources of the computer system and simplify applications programming. They
    include software such as operating systems, DBMS, translators and utility programs.
