The document presents different types of software. It introduces system software and application software as the two major categories. System software includes operating systems, programming language translators, communication software, and utility programs. Application software is designed to solve specific problems and includes word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, education, and entertainment software. In conclusion, both system software and application software are needed to operate computers and perform tasks.

The Operation And Extend The Processing Capability Of A Computer
System.
• The Program Which Included In A System Software Package Are Called
System Program.
(1) Operating System :- Operating System Software Takes Care Effective And
Efficient Utilization Of All Hardware And Software Components Of A
Computer System.
(2) Programming Language Translators :- It Transforms The Introduction
Prepared By Program In A Programming Languages Into A For, That Can Be
Interpreted And Executed By A Computer System.
6. System Software
(3) Communication software :- in a network environment communication
software enable transfer of data and programs from one computer system
to another.
(4) Utility programs :- utility program and set of program that help user in
system maintenance task and in performing task of routine nature.

(5) Education software :- education software allows a software to be used
as a teaching and drawing tool.
(6) Entertaining software :- it allowing as a computer to be used or an
entertaining tool.
9. Conclusion
•Without system software we cannot run the
computer and without application system we
cannot do the work on computer.
•For running the computer we need software.
