💻 What is Software & Its Types?
Software is a set of programs and instructions that tell a computer how to perform tasks — acting as a bridge between the user 👤 and the hardware 🖥️.
🔹 Main Types of Software:
🧩 1️⃣ System Software – Manages and runs hardware & system operations (e.g., 🪟 Windows, 🐧 Linux)
📝 2️⃣ Application Software – Helps users perform specific tasks (e.g., 📄 MS Word, 🌐 Chrome)
💻 3️⃣ Programming Software – Used by developers to create and debug software (e.g., 🐍 Python, ⚙️ VS Code)
🧰 4️⃣ Utility Software – Maintains system performance (e.g., 🦠 Antivirus, 🧹 Disk Cleanup)
🔌 5️⃣ Driver/Firmware Software – Enables hardware communication (e.g., 🖨️ Printer Driver, ⚡ BIOS)
✨ In short:
Software powers everything — from your operating system to the apps you use daily!
