    System Software
    System software is a collection
    of programs that control and
    coordinate the activities of
    computer.Highly experienced
    computer programmers develop
    system software.
    Following are the types of
    system software.
    Operating System
    Operating system manages the hardware
    and software resources of a computer
    system, such as CPU, storage devices and
    all the input/output devices.
    Examples
    Some commonly used operating systems are
    Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android.
    Operating system performs the following
    tasks.
    1. Allocates system resources
    2. Manages files by maintaining a proper
    file and folder system
    3. Loads and executes application
    software
    4. Controls the operation of all the
    input/output devices
    5. Maintains security
    6. Controls network operations
    7. Provides user interface
    Device Drivers
    1. A device driver is system software
    that controls the operation of a
    computer device.
    2. . When users attach a device such as
    printer or scanner to their computer,
    they should install its driver also to
    make it operational.
    3. Device drivers are provided by device
    manufacturers.
    4. Plug and play devices
    Utility Program
    ✖ Utility programs perform specific tasks
    that are related to the management of the
    computer.
    ✖ The following are some commonly used
    utility programs that perform specific
    tasks.
    ● Windows Explorer: It is used to manage files and
    folders.
    ● Backup utility: It is used to make backup of data.
    ✖
    ● WinZip utility: It is used to compress files.
    ● Diagnostic utility: It is used to detect hardware and
    software problems.
    ● Antivirus software: It is used to detect and remove
    viruses.
    ● Network utilities
    ● Disk defregmentor and disk cleanup
    Language Processors
    1. A language processor is a system program used to
    translate computer programs into machine
    language.
    2. Machine language is directly understood by the
    computer.
    3. Therefore, all the programs must be translated into
    machine language before execution by the
    computer.
    Assembler
    is software that translates assembly
    language program into machine
    language. Assembly language consists
    of symbolic abbreviations called
    mnemonics which must translated into
    machine language before execution by
    the computer. Each computer has its
    own assembly language.
    Compiler
    is software that translates a program
    written in a high level language into
    machine language. It converts the entire
    program into machine language before
    execution by the computer.

    Interpreter
    is software that translates high level
    language into machine language but it
    translates one instruction at a time and
    executes it immediately before
    translating the next instruction.
