    System software controls computer operations and includes operating systems and utilities. Application software performs specific tasks for users like word processing and databases. Open source software makes source code available to the public for modification and sharing within communities. There are different types of programming languages from low-level machine language understood by CPUs to high-level languages that are more like English and easier for humans. Compiled languages are converted to machine language before execution while interpreted languages are processed by an interpreter program.

    Description

    Purpose

    Example

    System Software

    Consists of a group of
    programs that control
    the operation of a
    computer.

    Operating Systems and


    Utility System

    Application Software

    Software that can


    perform a specific set
    of useful task for the
    user.

    The purpose of the


    system is to run the
    computer, managing
    resources: memory,
    processes, etc.
    The general purpose is
    so that application can
    be used for a variety of
    task.

    Open Source Software

    Software that is the


    source code to the
    general public for use
    in certain ways.

    Machine Language

    Native language
    directly understood by
    computers central
    processing unit (CPU)

    Assembly Level Language

    Low-level
    programming language
    that does use wordbased commands.

    For writing system


    software.

    N/A

    High Level Language

    User friendly and


    similar to English, with
    words and symbols.

    So that languages can


    be translated into
    many machine
    languages.
    The complier does this
    in advance of executing
    the complied program.

    Perl, ECMAScript,
    Rudy, and Visual Basic

    Compiled Language

    Interpreted Language

    Coded statements are


    processed by a
    compiler program,
    which converts them
    to machine language.
    This language is
    processed within an
    interpreter program

    Typically created as a
    collaborative effort in
    which programmers
    improve upon the code
    and share the changes
    within the community.
    These binary numbers
    represent the actions a
    CPU can perform.

    The Purpose is to code


    in an intermediate
    language for the
    interpreter.

    Word Processing
    Software, Database
    Software, Spreadsheet
    Software, Presentation
    Software and
    Multimedia Software.
    Apache, Blender,
    DSpace, Eprints, and
    The GIMP

    N/A

    Example are C++, Swift


    (apple) and Java

    Examples are Python,


    PHP, and Delphi
