1. Computers are general-purpose machines. This means that the computer can handle many different kinds of tasks. Whether you need to write a report, edit a video clip or manage a network a computer can help you.

2. Certainly, the computer itself – the hardware – couldn’t do any of these things. The component that enables a computer to perform particular tasks is software. The software manages the hardware. It tells the machine’s physical components what to do. If there weren’t software a computer couldn’t do anything at all. In this case it would be nothing more than a smart arrangement of electrical components. The software consists of detailed electronic instructions. A special set of these instructions is called a program. The terms program and software are often used interchangeably.

3. The instruction set, or computer program, may be written in any of over two hundred programming languages. Each has its own unique vocabulary, grammar and rules for usage. Languages are normally classified as high-level and low-level ones. The closer the programming language is to the language used by computer the lower the level of that language. The closer programming language is to English and the easier it is to use the higher its level.

4. Therefore, it is the high-level language which programmers traditionally employ for writing their programs. However, after the program or particular instruction has been created it must be translated into machine, or low-level language for it is the only language the computer might understand. Compilers and interpreters are used for this purpose.

5. Although the number of available software programs is vast and varied, most software falls into two major categories: system software and application software.
