What does software mean in a computer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A set of instructions that makes work happen
Software is the collection of programs and instructions that tells computer hardware how to perform tasks. Operating systems, word processors, and web browsers are examples. Software is not the physical wires or a device placed on a table; those are hardware. A printed picture is also not software because it is a physical output, not an executable set of instructions.
