Software

• Application software is a type of software that is designed to perform specific tasks or applications for the user.
• Software provides a computer instruction and data to carry out a task.
• A Program is a set of instructions that solves a problem, or carries out a task.
• Support Modules provide auxiliary set of instructions used in conjunction with the main software program and are not designed to be run by the computer used.
• System Software programs perform the background tasks and generally talk directly to the hardware.
• Application Software programs are designed to interact with the user to perform work that is useful to the user and generally talk to the hardware with the assistance of the system software.
• There are two major types of software: System Software and Application Software.
• System Software includes Device Drivers, Language Translators, Operating Systems, and Utility Programs.
• Application Software includes programs that generally interact with the user to perform work that is useful to the user and generally talk to the hardware with the assistance of the system software.
• System Software functions include Boot, Sleep mode, and Hibernate.
• Booting refers to the process of turning on and off an computer.
• Cold booting is the process of turning on a Computer that has been powered off completely.
• Warm booting is the process of using the operating system to turn restart a computer.
• Sleep mode turns off unneeded function, saves documents to ram.
• Hibernate is the process of saving any open documents and programs to a hard disk before removing power from the computer.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a type of user interface that makes heavy use of graphical icons and animations.
• Operating systems are examples of system software.
• Software provides a computer instruction and data to carry out a task.
• Program is a set of instructions that solves a problem, or carries out a task.
• Support Modules provide auxiliary set of instructions used in conjunction with the main software program and are not designed to be run by the computer used.
• System Software programs perform the background tasks and generally talk directly to the hardware.
• Application Software programs are designed to interact with the user to perform work that is useful to the user and generally talk to the hardware with the assistance of the system software.
• Device Drivers are computer programs that enable communication between computers and peripherals.
• Language Translators are computer programs that translate programming languages.
• Operating System is a collection of programs that work together.
• Utility Programs are programs that manage related programs.
• Booting refers to the process of turning on and off an computer.
• Cold booting is the process of turning on a computer that has been powered off completely.
• Warm booting is the process of using the operating system to turn restart a computer.
• Sleep mode turns off unneeded functions, saves documents to ram.
