In contrast to hardware, the software is a non-physical entity defined by sets of rules and instructions that tell the hardware how to perform a task. In general terms, software is described as a collection of computer programs, procedures, and documentation that perform some task on a computer system.
Without software, a computer cannot do anything and becomes only a dead machine. Software is necessary for a computer system to work at the optimum level. Software is typically programmed with a user-friendly interface that allows humans to interact more and more efficiently with a computer system.
