HARDWARE / SOFTWARE 

Hardware:- The physical component of a computer system such as electrical, megentic & mechanical devices constitute Hardware. Those component which can be touch & seen.

Software:- The terms software refer to the set of computer program, procedure, & associated documents, that describe the program & how they are to be used.

Types of software:-

A. System Software:-
E.g.:- O.S, Assembler, Compiler, Interpreter

B. Application Software:-
E.g:- Image processor:- world processingDatabase:- SpreadsheetGames:- Communication Software

OPERATING-SYSTEM

Operating System:- is a program or software that control the computer hardwareOrOperating system provide the interface between user & computer hardware.

Function of Operating System:-

c. Non Procedural

LANGUAGE-TRANSLATOR

1.) ASSEMBLER:- are used to convert the low level language into machine language.

2.) COMPILER:- are used to convert the High level language into machine language. This check for error in the entire program & convert all the program into machine code

3.) INTERPRETER:- are used to convert High level language into machine language. & Interpretor check from error statement for one by one & convert the statement into machine code.
