Tag: Software
Software is a set of instructions written in computer code that tells a computer how to behave or perform a specific task. It usually comes in commercial programs (like Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop), games, a computer operating system, or malware like viruses and ransomware. The software comprises the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with operating a computer system. The term was coined to differentiate these instructions from hardware — i.e., the physical components of a computer system.
