Differences between system software and application software:
| System software | Application software |
| System software supports and manages computer system and interacts with other computer resources. |
Software that is designed for end users is known as application software. |
| It is designed to operate computer hardware devices. | Application software cannot control hardware devices. |
| System software provides a platform for application software to run in its environment and it controls the whole machine. | It performs in an environment provided by system software... |

Usage of java and html in web application:
Java belongs to the fifth generation software.
- The software that was developed approximately after the year 1990 is represented as the fifth generation software.
- Java is an object oriented
programming language designed and developed after 1990.- Java is an easy, secure, and platform-independent language that can be run on any computer.
- Structured design is based on the task (functions).
- It deals with the data and function separately.
- Object oriented design breaks the tasks into objects, and it is based on the object.
- It groups the data and functions together as objects which the real world object...

- Linux allows the user to view to source code and everyone can use it...
Explanation of Solution
Cloud computing services:
- Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on computer resources sharing rather than the application running on local computing devices such as servers, computers, tablet, and Smart phones.
- In a cloud computing the cloud is used as a symbol for the internet, it means that the cloud computing is a type of internet based computing.
- There are three types of service categories available in cloud computing:
- The hardware-based service is categorized as “Infrastructure-as-a-Service”.
- The software-based service is categorized as “Software-as-a-Service”.
- The application and interface development based service is categorized as “Platform-as-a-Service”...

1.[30 pts] Computers generate color pictures on a video screen or liquid crystal display by
mixing three different colors of light: red, green, and blue. Imagine a simple scheme, with
three different lights, each of which can be turned on or off, projecting onto a glass screen:
We can create eight different colors based on the absence (0) or presence (1) of light

Each of these colors can be represented as a bit vector of length 3, and we can apply
Boolean operations to them.
a. The complement of a color is formed by turning off the lights that are on and turning
on the lights that are off. What would be the complement of each of the eight colors
listed above?
b. Describe the effect of applying Boolean operations on the following colors:
