Software Vs Hardware

Software Vs Hardware

Hardware is a physical part of a computer.

Software which cannot be touched,can perform tasks on the computer.

Software works on a hardware.


For Example ATM machine,

ATM machine physical parts are Hardware.

The working functionality of an ATM (like displaying account balance,etc) is software. 


Examples of software products are 

  • Microsoft suite of products (Office, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.)

  • Internet browsers like Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.

 

Developing a Software Program

Well, Software is a task which works on hardware.

And hardware can understand only binary language (ex:- 10101) which can be formed by power.

Binary language(Machine Code) is known as a low-level language.

For humans it's very tough to write every task in binary language.

 

Then mid-level languages are created which can be understood by the user and as well as the system.

 

Then High-level languages came with more user friendly,The programming languages like c++, python etc.

Where syntax is more likely with english words.

Task/Program is compiled and run on a system, which internally converts into binary form and runs on system.
