    System software controls computer operations and manages resources like memory. Application software performs specific tasks for users like manipulating graphics, text, and numbers. Open source software allows programmers to share and improve code freely. Machine language uses binary numbers for actions a CPU can perform while assembly language uses word-based commands to write system software. High-level languages are more user-friendly and similar to English. Compiled languages convert code to machine language with a compiler. Interpreted languages simulate a computer that understands high-level languages and translate source code line by line.
