 TYPES OF
SOFTWARE
• Software
• 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.
• Software
• a generic term used to refer to
applications, scripts and
programs that run on a device.
It can be thought of as the
variable part of a computer,
while hardware is the
invariable part.
• Application
software
• most common type of
software, application software
is a computer software
package that performs a
specific function for a user, or
in some cases, for another
application.
• System
software.
• These software programs are
designed to run a computer's
application programs and
hardware. System software
coordinates the activities and
functions of the hardware and
software.
• Driver
software
• Also known as device drivers,
this software is often
considered a type of system
software. Device drivers
control the devices and
peripherals connected to a
computer, enabling them to
perform their specific tasks.
• Middleware
• The term middleware
describes software that
mediates between application
and system software or
between two different kinds of
application software.
• Programming
software.
• Computer programmers use
programming software to write
code. Programming software
and programming tools enable
developers to develop, write,
test and debug other software
programs.
How does software
