    System software controls basic computer operations and includes the operating system. The operating system manages communication between software and hardware and allocates resources. Application software performs specific tasks for users like word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, and databases. System software is supplied by manufacturers while application software is developed by users or third parties to solve unique problems. System software runs at a lower level than application software and provides the platform for applications to function.

    ENGR. NUZHAT MADINA
    What Is Computer Software?
     Software is the set of instructions (also called a program) that guides the
    hardware through its job. That tells the computer what to do? And how to do
    it? All components which are non tangible (Not Touchable) are called
    software.
     Examples: Ms Office, Operating Systems, Adobe photo shop etc
     Without software the hardware that is used to build a computer system would
    not be very useful. A software program contains the instructions that the
    computer must follow to carry out the task. Sometimes more than one
    program is required to complete a task. When this is the case the group of
    programs which together complete the task are known as a software package.
     Software programs are originally produced by computer programmers who
    will write the instructions that form the program in a programming language.
    What are the different types of Computer Software

     Example pieces of software are:


     A word processor
     A multimedia encyclopedia
     A spreadsheet
     TYPES OF SOFTWARE
     A software is usually classified as being two types
     Systems software
     Applications software.
    SYSTEM SOFTWARE

     Systems software controls the operation of a computer. Without systems


    software a computer would not function. The most important piece of systems
    software is the operating system. The operating system will perform vital tasks
    such as:
     Managing communications between software and hardware.
     Allocating computer memory to other software programs.
     Allocating CPU time to other software programs.
     TYPES
     Operation systems
     Utility program
     Programming languages
     Device drivers
    APPLICATION SOFTWARE

     Application software consists of programs designed to perform specific tasks


    for users‖. Application software can be used as a productivity/business tool; to
    assist with graphics and multimedia projects; to support home, personal, and
    educational activities; and to facilitate communications.
     TYPES:
     Word Processor
     Presentation Software
    APPLICATION SOFTWARE
     Spreadsheet: (A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for
    organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets are
    developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets)
     Communication software: (Communication software is used to provide
    remote access to systems and exchange files and messages in text, audio and/or
    video formats between different computers or users. )
    APPLICATION SOFTWARE
     Desktop Publisher: (Desktop publishing (abbreviated DTP) is the creation of
    documents using page layout skills on a personal computer. Desktop publishing
    software can generate layouts and produce typographic quality text and images
    comparable to traditional typography and printing. This technology allows
    individuals, businesses, and other organizations to self-publish a wide range of
    printed matter. Desktop publishing is also the main reference for 
    digital typography. When used skillfully, desktop publishing allows the user to
    produce a wide variety of materials, from menus to magazines and books,
    without the expense of commercial printing.)
    APPLICATION SOFTWARE
     Graphics Package: Graphics packages are essentially kits that allow graphic
    artists to create several types of computer-generated artwork, such as
    paintings and drawings as well as photographs.
     Database: (A database is an organized collection of data.[1] It is the collection
    of schemas, tables, queries, reports, views, and other objects. The data are
    typically organized to model aspects of reality in a way that supports 
    processes requiring information, such as modelling the availability of rooms
    in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies)
    Differences b/w End user applications & System Software
     Application Software are user written program develop to solve a particular
    application or problem that is unique to that organization while system
    software are manufacturer supplied programs for controlling the operation of
    the entire system.
     System software is computer software designed to operate the computer
    hardware and to provide a platform for running application software.
    Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer
    software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related
    specific tasks.
    Differences b/w End user applications & System Software
     System software or Operating System is the software that allows the computer
    to boot. Applications are programs that run inside of or on top of the Operating
    System and allows you to do things like email or word processing.
