Software is nothing but a set of instructions.

Softwares are majorly classified into two categories:

1) System Software

2) Application Software

  • Application Software also referred to as end-user programs or productivity programs is software that aids the user in executing tasks like doing online research, jotting down notes, setting an alarm, graphics designing, keeping logs of accounts, performing calculations, or even playing games. They lie above the system software.
  • They are different from system software in a way that they are used by the end-user and are specific in their functionality or tasks and perform the task that they are created to do. For example, the application Browser is specifically designed for the purpose of browsing the internet, or MS PowerPoint is an application used specifically for making presentations.
