Types of Software

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.
