The computer is an electronic computational device that uses electricity to start. The Personal computer
is capable of performing multiple tasks at single time henceforth they are also called as “Multitasking
Device”.
The invention of the computer is a great gift to human beings. Modern computer stores data, process
and executes data on users request and demands.
Modern PC [Personal Computer] works with great and amazing speed and with almost 100% accuracy
the cost of these devices are cheaper nowadays and hence it has reached to almost every individual.
Because of its affordable cost and low maintenance they have become very popular among people. PC’s
are used in the home as well as professional use and change the game upside down. Modern Computer
consists of mainly two parts which are mentioned below.
Software
Hardware
Software::Computer Software is nothing but a piece of code or set of instructions which is written by
computer programmer or software developer to perform certain tasks or operation with incredible
speed and also with 100% accuracy.
Application Software
System Software
Application Software:: These software’s are used to make the complex task simpler earlier to maintain
the data was a very tedious and time-consuming job but as soon as computers and its application
software evolved the job took less amount of time and was error-free.
Application software is designed and developed by software engineers to perform certain tasks an
operation to obtain the desired output. Application software is used by end-users to perform actions
like save, edit, update and remove.
System Software:: These software’s are used as a back end-entity and perform task and operations in
the background they are developed in low-level languages by the software developer or software
engineer which can easily communicate with the computer in the form of binary that exactly means 0’s
and 1’s.
System Software can communicate with hardware devices to perform certain task and operations
