CHAPTER 2
Q 1: What are hardware and software?
Logically a computer system consists of two parts which are:
· Hardware
· Software
Hardware:
“ The Physical components of a computer are called hardware.”
The parts of a computer, which we can touch, and feel, are called hardware parts. Hardware components of a computer are properly designed and manufactured by different electronic companies. The Hardware components of a computer enable the user to communicate with the computer and to get result of input data from it. A Computer is the combination of different hardware goods.
Example:
Following are the different examples of hardware components of a computer.
· Keyboard
· Monitor
· Mouse
· Printer
· Processor
· Hard disk
· Floppy disk
Software:
A computer cannot solve any problem itself; we give instructions to it for solving problems.
“ The set of programs (set of statements in any computer language) to solve a problem or to control the hardware of a computer is called a software.”
The Software are logical parts of a computer. We cannot touch to these parts of a computer but can feel them. With the help of software the user of the computer can easily work on it. The Software also manage the hardware resources of a computer.
