definition
Computer software examples include
operating systems, which allow for easy
use of a computer's processing power, as
well as applications like Notepad and
Firefox. Software can be physically stored
on the hard drive or at another location
such as a USB drive, or it can be cloud-
based and hosted over the internet.
What is computer software?
Computer software refers to programming
code that is executed on the computer
hardware that facilitates the completion of
tasks by a computer. What is a computer
program? A computer program is a specific
sequence of instructions written in
programming code that is carried out by a
computer processor to complete a specific
task. Thus, a computer program is a piece of
software designed for a certain use or task.

Windows, Linux, macOS)
Productivity Software (for example,
Microsoft Office Suite including Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint)

Chrome, and Safari)
Types of computer software
There are many examples of specific computer
software that play a role in personal and
professional computer systems. Computer
software can generally be divided into two
categories: system software and application
software. System software includes technical
programs that communicate with the computer's
hardware, including its processor, and provides a
framework for application software. Application
software includes the programs that do not relate
to the basic functioning of the computer, but
allow you to do tasks, such as internet browsers or
word processors.
 System software
System software is a category that
includes many kinds of software, all of
which directly relate to the functioning
of the computer itself. System software
includes highly technical programs
that allow users to make use of the
computer's capabilities. This type of
software interacts with the computer's
hardware, such as its processor and
motherboard, and provides a
framework for users to be able to use
other applications on their computers.
System software could thus be
thought of as a bridge between a
computer's hardware and the
applications that people use.
Included among other system
software are programs that help
the computer to operate at its
maximum efficiency. Some
examples of system software
include:
Operating Systems
Utility Software
Firmware
Device Drivers
