Software is a general term used to describe a
collection of computer
programs, procedures, and documentation that perform some task on a computer system.
Practically
computer systems divide software systems into three major classes: 1. system software, 2. programming
software, and 3. application software.Software is an ordered sequence of instructions for changing the state of the computer hardware in a particular sequence.
Software is
typically programmed with a user-friendly interface that allows humans to
interact more efficiently with a computer system or mobile devices.
What is Hardware?
Hardware is best described as a device, such
as a hard
drive, that is physically connected to the computer or something
that can be physically touched.
A Pen-drive, CD-ROM,
computer display monitor, printer, and video card are all examples of computer
hardware.
Without any
hardware, a computer would not function, and software would have nothing to run
on.
Hardware and
software interact with one another: software tells hardware which tasks it
needs to perform.
What is the
difference between Software and Hardware?
There are
several differences between computer hardware and software.
1.
Software
is a collection of instructions
that enables a user to interact with the computer. Software is a program that
enables a computer to perform a specific task.
Hardware is devices that are required to store
and execute (or run) the software.

2.
Software is
used to perform the specific task you need to complete. Software is generally
not needed to for the hardware to perform its basic level tasks such as
turning on and responding to input.
Hardware is served as the delivery system for
software solutions. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in
comparison with software and data, which are “soft” in the sense that they
are readily created, modified, or erased on the computer or mobile.

3.
Software is logical in nature and Hardware
is physical in nature.
