What do you mean by software?


Software represents the set of programs that govern the
operations of a computer system and make the hardware
run smoothly .

Types of software
 • System Software - System software runs the system

 • Application Software- Application software runs user


tasks like MS Word, games, etc.
Introduction to System
Software
 • System software acts as a bridge between
hardware and application software.

 • System software Helps hardware function and


supports application software.

 • Without System software, a computer is useless.


Types of System Software

 1. Operating System

 2. Language Translators/ Processor

 3. Device Drivers

 4. Utility Software
Operating System (OS)
What is an Operating System?
 An Operating System (OS) is system software that manages
computer hardware, software resources, and provides services
to application program
 • Examples: Windows, Linux, macOS.
Functions of an Operating System
 - File management: Controls data storage and retrieval and
Manages folders and files
 - Process management: Handles running programs (processes)
and Allocates CPU time
 - Memory management: Allocates memory to processes and
Ensures efficient memory use
Examples of Operating Systems
(with Images)

Windows macOS Linux Android iO


S
Language Translators/Processor

 Converts programming code into machine language.


 A language processor is system software that translates
human-readable source code (written in high programming
languages like Python, Java, or C++) into machine code or
object code (binary instructions that a computer's CPU can
understand and execute).
 In other words, language processors are software that convert
source code into object code or machine code.

 A source code refers to the program code written by a


programmer in a high-level programming language such as C,
Java, Python, C++.An object code refers to code usually in
machine language or binary code a language that computer
can understand easily and run on hardware
Types of Language Translators

 Compiler: Translates in executes instruction written in a


computer program in one go.(e.g., C, C++)

 Interpreter: Translates and executes instructions written in a


computer program line by line unit by unit etc (e.g., Python)

 Assembler: Converts assembly language to machine code


which is a low-level representation of instructions that the
computer's processor can directly execute.
Summary

 • System Software is essential for computer


operation.
 • Includes OS, drivers, utilities, and translators.
 • Works in the background and supports
application software.
