This article will explain in detail what the computer software is. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Computer software is divided into two categories: system software and application software, including: 1, system software, such as windows, Linux, UNIX, and operating system patches and hardware drivers; 2, application software, such as tool software, game software, management software and so on.

Computer software (Software, also known as software) refers to the program and its documents in the computer system, the program is the description of the processing objects and rules of the computing task; the document is to facilitate the understanding of the illustrative materials needed by the program. Programs must be loaded into the machine to work, documents are generally for people to see, not necessarily loaded into the machine.

Computer software is generally divided into two categories: system software and application software.

System software is all kinds of operating systems, such as windows, Linux, UNIX, etc., as well as operating system patches and hardware drivers.

There are more types of application software that can be subdivided, such as tool software, game software, management software and so on.

systems software

The system software is responsible for managing all kinds of independent hardware in the computer system so that they can coordinate their work. System software enables computer users and other software to treat the computer as a whole without regard to how each underlying hardware works.

Generally speaking, the system software includes the operating system and a series of basic tools (such as compiler, database management, memory formatting, file system management, user authentication, driver management, network connection, etc.).

It includes the following four categories:

Various service programs, such as diagnostics, debugging programs, practice programs, etc.

Language programs, such as assembler, compiler, interpreter

Operating system

Database management system.

Application softwar

Application software is software that is developed for a specific purpose. It can be a specific program, such as an image browser. It can also be a collection of programs that are functionally connected and can collaborate with each other, such as Microsoft's Office software. It can also be a huge software system composed of many independent programs, such as database management system.

The more common ones are:

Word processing software such as WPS, Word, etc.

Information management software

Aided design software such as AutoCAD

Real-time control software such as polar electronic classroom

Education and entertainment software

Software development is the process of building the software system or the software part of the system according to the requirements of users. Software development is a system engineering that includes requirements capture, requirements analysis, design, implementation and testing.

Software is generally implemented in a certain programming language. Usually, software development tools can be used for development.

Different software generally have corresponding software licenses, and the users of the software must agree to the license of the software before they can use the software legally. On the other hand, the license terms of a particular software cannot contravene the law.
