- A system software is any program that allows computers to perform basic operations. Modern computers come with sophisticated operating systems that manage both hardware and software. Users can easily control their computer's operations with windowing systems, even if they are beginners. - Programming software allows programmers to develop new programs. The most basic type is a source code editor, usually a basic text editor used to enter lines of code. More complex programming software provides integrated development environments with tools like text editors, debuggers, compilers, and interpreters. - Software engineers write many types of programs for different industries and uses, from simple mobile apps to complex programs for fields like bioinformatics. Companies and individuals use software for data management, payroll, cost
