Chapter 3 : Basics Software (Updated)

CHAPTER 3

Software Basics

Computer do cheezon se milkar banta hai:
1️⃣ Hardware – Physical parts (monitor, keyboard, mouse, CPU)
2️⃣ Software – Programs jo hardware ko chalate hain

Simple shabdon me:
👉 Hardware body hai
👉 Software brain aur instructions hai

Hardware khud se koi kaam nahi kar sakta jab tak software usko guide na kare.
Isliye software computer ke liye soul ki tarah hota hai.



1. Software Kya Hota Hai?

Software ek tarah ka program / set of instructions hota hai jise computer follow karke koi kaam complete karta hai.

Aap computer ko jo bhi kaam bolte ho, wo actually software ke through hi hota hai.
Example:

  • Internet chalana
  • File open karna
  • Game khelna
  • Video dekhna
  • Typing karna

Yeh sab alag-alag software ki help se possible hota hai.


2. Software Ka Kaam Kya Hota Hai?

Software computer ko samjhata hai:

  • Kaunsa kaam karna hai
  • Kaise karna hai
  • Kis order me karna hai
  • Kis device ka use karna hai

Example:
Agar aap Print button dabate ho → software printer ko instruction bhejta hai → printer output deta hai.

Computer ka har operation software ke control me hota hai.


3. Software Ke Types

Computer software mainly do bada group me divide hota hai:

1️⃣ System Software

2️⃣ Application Software

Chaliye step-by-step in sab ko detail me samajhte hain.


4. System Software (Computer ka Operating System)

System software wo hota hai jo computer ko chalata hai, hardware ko control karta hai, aur user ko computer use karne deta hai.

Driver ek mini-software hota hai jo computer ko batata hai ki particular device ko kaise use karna hai.

Example:

Software ka kaam kuch steps me hota hai:

  1. User Input deta hai (mouse/keyboard se)
  2. Input software tak jaata hai
  3. Software usko process karta hai
  4. Software hardware ko instruction deta hai
