    • Operating Systems:
      • It is used to control the internal operations of the computer’s hardware, managing computer devices and allowing users to perform data manipulations from storage devices, etc.
    • Utility Programs:
      • It is used to perform a special task that improves the computer’s operation. Programs like data backup, virus scanners and file compression are the examples.
    • Software Development Tools:
      • Tools that help the programmer to create, test and modify software are referred as Software development tools.

Application Software:
