Chapter 1, Problem 1PS
Computer software is divided into two broad categories: system software and operational software.
a. True
b. False
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Computer software
System software
Operational software
To find:Â If it is true or not that the software is categorized or divided into two types which is system software and operational software.
Solution:
Software is a collection of programs. Computer software is categorized or divided into two parts:
System software: It keeps a check on the system resources. It also offers interface between the user and hardware components. It allows the working of all hardware components (hard disk, RAM, CD drive) of the computer.
Application software: Application software are those that work under the system software. These are made for some detailed purpose. It helps the user in solving their problems.
Thus, it is false that the software is categorized or divided into two types which is system software and operational software.

The main() method receives the value of n and calls the matrixSetUp() method that creates a square matrix of size n and populates it randomly with integers between 1 and 9. c. The main method then calls another method named printMatrix() to display the matrix in a matrix format. d. The main method also calls a method named findSumAndAverage() which: • Receives the generated matrix as input. • Calculates the sum of all elements in the matrix. • Calculates the average value of the elements in the matrix. • Stores these values (sum and average) in a single-dimensional array and returns this array • e. The main method prints the sum and average based on the result returned from findSumAndAverage()). Enter the dimension n for the square…arrow_forward
