 SOFTWARE:

         Software is a collection of instructions to be executed by a computer. Software can be of two kinds’ system software and application software. System software provides basic functionality to the computer by handling individual hardware components of the system. This includes the operating system and some fundamental utilities like disk display managers, device drivers etc.And it is a set of computer programs and associated documentation and data. This is in contrast to hardware, from which the system is built and which actually performs the work. Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks. It is the opposite of hardware, which describes the physical aspects of a computer. On the other hand, application software is used to accomplish specific tasks. For example, Microsoft Word is used for word processing, as application software, or simply, an application. Application software, if it consists of single program, is called software .If it consists of a small collection of programs, it is called a software package. If it is a larger collection of related but independent programs, it is called a software suite. This software coordinates a system's hardware and software so users can run high-level application software to perform specific actions. System software executes when a computer system boots up and continues running as long as the system is on.
