  • Software’s are classified in to two types:
    1. System software
    2. Application software.

   1. System software: This software is designed for general purpose and doesn't having any limitations. Then it is called system software. E.g.

  • As a programmer, if we knows the programming language, we can’t interact directly with computer because computer cannot understand programming language code. (It knows only binary language)
  • In above case, we required a Mediator, called “Translator”

                  As a programmer, we required to give the instructions in programming language, translator will converts programming language into binary format, then according to the given instruction we will get an application / Result.   Programmer  2 p.l   2   Translator 2  Binary  2  Computer  2  App/result                                                 Complier                                                 Interpreter                                                 Assembler
