2. Introduction
Software is the language of a computer. And like human language, there are
many different computer languages. Without software a computer can’t operate &
hardware function is also depended on software. Hardware works only when it
receives command from software.
Essentially, computer software can be divided into two main groups
depending on their use and application.
