                       Programming and Computer Software, founded in 1975, is devoted to providing
                       solutions  to  problems  in  all  areas  of  computer  science:  operating  systems,
                       compiler technology, software engineering, artificial intelligence, etc.

                     Assembler

                     An assembler is a program used to translate assembly language into machine
                     language (0s and 1s) so that the computer can understand it.

                     Compiler

                     A compiler is a software that converts the entire source program into machine

                     language before executing it. It displays the errors for the whole program
                     together.
                     Interpreter

                     An interpreter is a separate program that converts the entire source program into
                     machine language before executing it. An interpreter translates and executes one

                     statement at a time. It displays the errors one line at a time and it goes to the next
                     line only after the error is corrected.

                     Utility Software

                     Utility software are provided as a part of the operating system. They are specifically
                     designed to manage the computer hardware, operating system and application
                     software. Some of the utility software are:

                     Backup Utility

                     Backup utility software  or  backup  software  is a computer  program  that  copies

                     your files, folders, databases or even your entire system for emergency. Windows
                     Backup and Restore is the default Windows backup utility.

                     Backup is the process of making a copy of important files or data and storing it in
                     another safe location. This helps to protect the data in case the original files are

                     lost, damaged or deleted.

                     Restore is the process of recovering the data from a backup copy and bringing it
                     back to its original location. If your files get lost or corrupted, the Restore feature
                     helps you get them back exactly the way they were when the backup was created.

                                                                                                 Types of Software       23
