Hello Numan, 

       Software or computer software, is a collection of data or computer instructions that tell the computer how to work.These are basically a set instructions written in computer language that may allow your hardware device to work accordingly. This is in contrast to physical hardware, from which the system is built and actually performs the work

HELLO NUMAN

SOFTWARE IS A PROGRAM THAT ENABLES A COMPUTER TO PERFORM A SPECIFIC TASK, AS OPPOSED TO THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM (HARDWARE).

THIS INCLUDES APPLICATION SOFTWARE SUCH AS WORD PROCESSOR.

COMPUTER SOFTWARE HAS TO BE LOADED INTO THE COMPUTER'S STORAGE (SUCH AS HARD DRIVE, MEMORY, OR RAM)

ONCE THE SOFTWARE IS LOADED THE COMPUTER IS ABLE TO EXECUTE THE SOFTWARE.

ALL THE BEST.
