Answer:

Software is an instructions that tell a computer what to do. Software comprises the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system. The term was coined to differentiate these instructions from hardware - i.e. the physical components of a computer system.

A set of instructions that directs a computer’s hardware to perform a task is called a program, or software program.

Softwares are of two types:

i) System software

ii) Application software

i) System software:

System software controls a computer’s internal functioning, chiefly through an operating system, and also controls such peripherals as monitors, printers, and storage devices

ii) Application software:

Application software, by contrast, directs the computer to execute commands given by the user and may be said to include any program that processes data for a user. Application software thus includes word processors, spreadsheets, database management, inventory and payroll programs, and many other “applications.”
