Recap


                         A computer  is an  electronic  device that  carries  out  various  tasks by  following
                         instructions to process data and achieve the desired results.

                         Hardware refers to the physical parts of the computer system.
                         Software is a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do.
                         System software is designed to operate and control the computer hardware.

                          An operating system (OS) is the software that manages a computer's hardware and
                         software resources.
                          A language processor helps the computer understand instructions and converts them
                         from programming languages into machine language.

                          Application software refers to programs designed to perform specific tasks for the
                         user.
                          Customised software are developed to meet the specific needs of an organisation or
                         individual.
