Differences between software and hardware

                                        Software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer programs, procedures, and documentation that perform some task on a  computer system.Practical computer systems divide software systems into three major classes: system software, programming software, and application software, although the distinction is arbitrary and often blurred.Software is an ordered sequence of instructions for changing the state of the computer hardware in a particular sequence.Software is typically programmed with a user-friendly interface.

Hardware is best described as a device such as a hard drive, that is physically connected to the computer or something that can can be physically touched.A CD-ROM,computer display monitor,printer, and video card are all examples of computer hardware. Without any hardware, a computer would not function, and software would have nothing to run on.Hardware and software interact with one another. There are several differences between computer hardware and software.
