Computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software. The storage devices and display devices are hardware.
The terms software and hardware are used as both nouns and adjectives. For example, you can say: "The problem lies in the software," meaning that there is a problem with the program or data, not with the computer itself. You can also say: "It's a software problem."
The distinction between software and hardware is sometimes confusing because they are so integrally linked. Clearly, when you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the software, you need to buy the disk (hardware) on which the software is recorded.
Software is often divided into two categories:
• Systems software: Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enable the computer to function.
• Applications software: Includes programs that do real work for users. For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software. | Translation - Hungarian
Számítógépes utasítások vagy adatok halmaza. Bármi, amit elektronikus formában tárolhatunk, szoftvernek minősül, míg a háttértárolók és megjelenítő eszközök hardvernek.
A hardver és szoftver kifejezést főnévként és melléknévként egyaránt használjuk. Például mondhatjuk, hogy „A hiba a szoftverben van”, ami arra utal, hogy a probléma a programmal vagy adathalmazzal van kapcsolatban, és nem magával a számítógéppel. Továbbá azt is mondhatjuk: „Ez egy szoftverprobléma!”
A különbség a szoftver és hardver értelmezése között néha zavaró, mivel azok szervesen összetartoznak. Nyilvánvaló, hogy mikor egy számítógépes programot vásárolunk, akkor szoftvert vásárolunk. De ugyanekkor meg kell vennünk hozzá a lemezt (hardvert) is, amelyen maga a program található.
A szoftvereket gyakran két kategóriába soroljuk:
• Rendszerszoftverek: ez magában foglalja az operációs rendszert és az összes olyan segédprogramot, amely elősegíti a számítógép megfelelő működését.
• Alkalmazások: olyan programokat takar, amelyek gyakorlatilag a felhasználók munkáját könnyítik meg. Ebbe a kategóriába tartoznak például a szövegszerkesztők, táblázatkezelők és adatbázis-kezelő rendszerek is. |
