What is Software ?
| Greeting everyone @i-am-ejaaz from #Pakistan |

Welcome to my blog, Today I am going to write about software. What is software? In simple and easy words, “software is a set of instructions given to a computer to perform some action." Actually, our computer system is a collection of two things: one is hardware, and the other is software. The hardware system can actually perform action, but hardware can’t perform action until we give him instructions or commands. And these commands given to the computer hardware are written according to some syntax according to some standards, and these commands are actually collected and bound in a single file, which is a software file. There are various programming languages that are defined and used to write software. These languages are designed so that computer hardware can understand them.
There are different types of software.
Application software: This software is designed and developed for the user to meet their specific needs. A calculator, file manager, or photo viewer are examples of application software. In a broad sense, a website is also software that is developed using programming languages and gives instructions to computer machines to perform actions. Steemit.com is a kind of web application software.
System Software: These software are designed to operate the whole system; they work as the soul of the system and an interface between application software and computer hardware. Different system software is used for different purposes and on different computer machines. Some of them are Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc.
I hope it will be helpful for you to enhance your technical knowledge, and now I am going to finish my blog with a short question:
What is the software that you have used for the very first time?
