What is software?

                           

The software of the computer constitutes of rhe programmes and instructions to be executed.A programme is set of institutions that are arranged in a sequence that guides the computer to solve a problem.The process of riding a programme is called programming.
A computer software can be broadly classified in to two categories.

1 System software/programme.
2 Application software/programme

1 system software/programme.
 System programme are designed to make the computer easier to use.An example of systems software is operating system which consists of many other programmes for controlling input/output device,memory,processor etc......

'C' language is broadly used to developed system software.systems software perform one or more of the following function.

1 support to develop application software.
2 support in executive of applications software.
3 monitor various hardware resources such as CPU,memory,peripheral etc....
4 communicates and controls operations of peripheral device such as printer,disk,tap etc....

Digital computer v/s Analog computer

Analog computer don't have ability of digital computer to store data in large quantities,nor do they have the comprehensive logical facilities afforded by programming digital machine.although the arithmetic function perform by the computing unit are more complex in analogue machine than in digital system. Analog machine are design for specific applications but most electrical and electronic analog computer provide a number of different computing devices which can be connected together via plug board or provide different methods of operations for special problem. In digital machine number to be stored to be used in same calculations were represented by physical quantities such as electrical voltage.
