Q.1 Explain The Term Software. Ans: The term 'Software' was first used by John Tukey in 1958. Software is a set of instructions that are aimed at changing the state of computer hardware. It enables a computer (hardware) to perform specific tasks.
Q.2 What Is The Difference Between System Software And Application Software? Ans: System software is a computer software, that 1s des1gne to operate the computer hardware and to give and maintain a platform for running the application software. It hepls in running the computer hardware and the computer system.
Q.3 What Is An Operating System? Ans: An Operating System or OS is a software program that enables the computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software. The operating system recognises input from an input device such as the keyboard, mouse, microphone, or PC camera; coordinates the display of output on the monitor; instructs a printer how and when to print information; and manages data and instructions in memory and information stored on disk.
Q.4 Explain The Different Types Of OS.
Ans: Earlier the operating systems were device dependent. A device-dependent software product was one that used to run only on a specific type of computer. Now the deviceindependent operating system has come that runs on many manufacturer's computers. Multi user A multi user OS allows multiple users to use the same computer a the same times and different times. The examples of multi user OS are Linux, Unix, Windows zoo. Multi Processor computer processor. Linux, Unix, Multi processor An OS capable of supporting and utilizing more than one Windows 2000 are also multiprocessing operating systems. Multitasking A multitasking operating system allows the user to work on two or more the computer application that reside in the computer at the same time. Multi Threading An OS that allows different parts of the software program to run concurrently.
Q.5 What Is The Function Of Device Drivers?
Ans: Device drivers are the software that acts like "liaisons" between hardware in a computer system and the OS. The operating system relies on device drivers to communicate with each device in the computer.
Q.6 How Is Utility Software Helpful? Ans: It helps in the management of computer hardware and application software. It performs a small range of tasks. Disk defragmenters, system utilities, disk scanner, virus scanner are some of the typical examples of utility software. Q.7 Explain The Different Types Of Application Software. Ans: Word Processing Software: This software is used to create and to edit the documents such as letters, reports, essays, etc. · It provides several features for document editing and formatting. Spreadsheet Software: It is used to store and process data in an electronic sheet having columns and rows. The data is entered into the cells of the sheet. It can also perform the calculations on numerical data automatically, by entering the formulae and functions. Database Management System (DBMS): This software is used to create and manage databases. A database is a collection of related information or records on any subject such as records of the books in a library, information about the students in a school, etc. Presentation Software: This software allows you to create documents called presentations, which are used to communicate ideas, messages, and other information to a group. The presentations can be viewed as slides, sometimes called a slide show, that display on a large monitor or on a projection screen. Q.8 What Is The Use Of Programming Software? Ans: A computer language is a special language understood by computer. A computer language is a set of words, symbols and codes that is used to write a computer program. Q.9 What Is The Difference Between Compiler And Interpreter? Ans: Compilers are the language processors that translate the complete source program as a whole, in machine code before execution. The C and C++ are examples of compilers. Interpreters are the language processors that translate each statement of source program into machine code and execute it immediately before translating the next statement. If there is any error in the statement the interpreter terminates its translating process as that statement displays an error message. Q.10 Write A Short Note On Debuggers. Ans: Debuggers are the programs that help · software developers to find and eliminate bugs (errors) while they are writing programs. A debugger tells the programmer what type of error it finds and marks the exact lines of code where the bugs are found
