    Study Notes

    Computer Program Fundamentals

    • A computer program is a set of instructions that a computer can execute to perform a specific task or set of tasks.

    System Software

    • System software performs tasks such as managing computer resources, providing a platform for application software to run on, and controlling hardware components.

    Machine Language

    • Machine language is also known as binary code, which is a low-level, machine-readable language that computers can execute directly.

    Logic in Programming

    • Logic determines the order in which instructions are executed, making decisions based on conditions or variables, and controlling program flow.

    High-Level Programming Language

    • The main function of a high-level programming language is to enable developers to write programs that are easy to read, write, and maintain, with a focus on simplicity and portability.

    System Software Function

    • The main function of system software is to manage and control computer hardware components, providing a platform for application software to run on.

    Application Software

    • The function of application software is to perform specific tasks or solve specific problems, such as word processing, image editing, or web browsing.
