Computer Hardware and Software

Hardware :-

All physical components of a computer system is called Hardware. in others word, all tangible parts of the computer is called hardware. such as keyboard, mouse, monitor, cpu, ram, motherboard, speaker, usb ports, pendrive,printer etc.

Hardware & software

Hardware describes the physical parts of the computer or its delivery mechanisms that hold and execute the software's written instructions. The intangible component of the system software enables the user to communicate with the hardware and give commands to perform specific tasks is called Computer software.

OS (Operating System)

Applications that regulate particular computer operations

Programs that generally operate on data provided by the user

How is computer hardware dependent on software?

Consider the hardware of a computer as a human body that contains numerous visible and touchable body parts. But the body cannot move or carry out its role if there is no soul inside of it. And it would be seen as having expired or will be considered dead. Similar to this, a structure is provided by the computer hardware; it includes input and output devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. But software is also very necessary for the system because it will not work if it has not had the necessary software to carry out its intended tasks. so they are both dependent on one another.

Software :-

Software is a set of programs that enables the hardware to perform a specific task. All the programs that run the computer are software.
The software can be of three types:

System software

Application software

Programming software

System software

The system software is the main software that runs the computer. When you turn on the computer, it activates the hardware and controls and coordinates their functioning. The application programs are also controlled by system software. An operating system is an example of system software.
Operating System :- An operating system is the system software that works as an interface to enable the user to communicate with the computer. It manages and coordinates the functioning of hardware and software of the computer. The commonly used operating systems are Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac OS X.
Some other examples of system software include: -

BIOS

Boot Program

An assembler

A device driver

Application software

Application software is a set of programs designed to perform a specific task. It does not control the working of a computer as it is designed for end-users. A computer can run without application software. Application software can be easily installed or uninstalled as required. It can be a single program or a collection of small programs. Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Photoshop, and any other software like payroll software or income tax software are application software. As we know, they are designed to perform specific tasks. Accordingly, they can be of different types such as:

Word Processing Software:

Spreadsheet Software

Multimedia Software

Enterprise Software

Programming software

It is a set or collection of tools that help developers in writing other software or programs. It assists them in creating, debugging, and maintaining software or programs or applications. We can say that these are facilitator software that helps translate programming language such as Java, C++, Python, etc., into machine language code. So, it is not used by end-users. For example, compilers, linkers, debuggers, interpreters, text editors, etc. This software is also called a programming tool or software development tool.
Some examples of programming software :-
