Software is a set of programs, which is designed to perform a well-defined task. We cannot touch the Software but it is used by hardware. Computer hardware and software are made for each other. Only hardware or software alone is useless. There are different types of software and we can roughly categories it into two types.
Application Software:
Example: User defined program/software and other applications that user can directly interact as Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel.
System Software:
Example: Operating System and other program that supports application software.
Characteristics of software
- Software is not touchable i.e. we cannot touch the software.
- Software is not manufactured but it is developed by software engineers.
- Software is not wear out as time goes on.
