    Computer software

    DEFINATION

    Is the collection of computer programs and related data that provide


    the instructions telling a computer what to do. We can also say software
    refers to one or more
    computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer
    for some purposes.
    Functions of Computer Software

    We are aware of the role of computer software in


    operating and managing the hardware resources of
    a computer. Further the application software, the
    prewritten set of instructions to carryout specified
    tasks, can perform the task as per the instructions given
    by the program as planned. Software can
    make the computer to compare data, make logical
    decisions, do mathematical calculations, store
    and retrieve data and instructions from primary or
    secondary memory and carryout sequence of
    tasks. The computer software acts as a bridge between
    hardware of a computer system and the users ofa
    computer
    Types of computer softwares

    Application software
    Programming languages
    System software 
    Testware
    Firmware 
    Device drivers
    Programming tools
    Programming software usually provides tools to
    assist a programmer in writing
     computer programs, and software using different
    programming languages in a more convenient
    way. The tools include:
    compilers
    debuggers
    interpreters
    linkers
    text editors
    Application software
    System software does not aim at a certain application fields.
    In contrast,different application 
    software offers different function based on users and the area it served.
    Application software 
    is developed for some certain purpose,which either can be a certain
    program or a collection of some programmes,such as a graphic browser
    or the data
    base management system. 
    Application software allows end users to accomplish one or more specific
    tasks. Typical applications include:
    industrial automation
    business software
    quantum chemistry and solid state physics software
    telecommunications (i.e., the Internet and everything that flows on it)
    databases
    educational software
    Application software exists for and has impacted a wide variety of topics.
    System software can be divided into operating system
    and communications software. Operating
    system only deals with the way of functioning the
    computer and its peripherals. Operating
    Systems sometimes comes with the computer in a
    ROM chip or as a separate set of software
    Communication software deals with transfer of data,
    instructions and command with other
    computers.
    Examples to communication software include software
    used for computer sharing,
    controlling data transfers, etc.
    Main functions of operating software
    Application software are developed to
    carryout different applications or tasks by
    the computer as
    required by user. These software
    automates and performs different
    functions like invoice
    processing, inventory management,
    payroll, word processing, etc.
