Upon the computer being turned on, the CPU loads the operating system into RAM. This process is known as 'booting up'. The operating system remains inside RAM for as long as the computer is turned on.

Examples:
-Microsoft Windows
-Apple Mac OS X
-Linux
-Android

That let's the user control the computer.

-The operating system comes with a user interface. The user interface makes it easier to use the computer. The user interface usually includes thing like sounds or a mouse pointer. Most operating systems have a GUI (Graphical user interface).

-The operating system let's you select, load and run applications

-The operating also has the job to deal with problems in the code from applications, problems that the user generates, or problems that occur with hardware. It will usually do that by displaying an error message and interrupting the problematic application.

Application Software and System Software.

Application software:
Application Software is any software that does work for the user. The software you add onto your computer is application software.  Examples are: 
-Games 
-Web browsers
Word Processors 

The modern computer usually shows an application as an Icon that the user can click. 

System software:
System software is usually already loaded onto the computer. It is used to make the computer run properly and help the CPU with its calculations. 
Uses for system software are:
-Starting up the computer
-Loading and running applications
-Controlling the flow of data
from input and output devices
-Organising memory and storage

The input is in a top-notch language program. The output is an executable file. 
This file is placed in a storage. The instructions from the file won't be run, until you decide to.

complied languages are languages that were translated by compliers]]> 2018-04-17 12:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dave_lacumber/zjlv7pebt2eb/wish/252526850 ROM BIOS mika0409 https://padlet.com/dave_lacumber/zjlv7pebt2eb/wish/252527978 The first instructions a computer requires upon being turned on are stored inside ROM. On PCs, these startup-instructions are known as 'BIOS', which stands for 'basic input/output system'. Once the BIOS-instructions are copied into main memory, they start to control the computer's peripherals and look in secondary storage for the operating system so that the computer may be booted up.]]> 2018-04-17 12:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dave_lacumber/zjlv7pebt2eb/wish/252527978 Writing Software Page8 Ch.5 sahib0873 https://padlet.com/dave_lacumber/zjlv7pebt2eb/wish/252528158 It is very hard for Humans to write a software application in Machine code because there are many numbers and lots of things are going on and that is why computer languages were created. Computer languages are easier for us to program with. A programer need to learn a Computer language and then this is translated for the computer to run the software as it should run.

interpreters: whenever you make a change, you will be able to test the effects immediately. you also only have one file needed.

Enough of the code has been read, for it to know what the next action to take is. Then it uses the instruction set to execute this action. once this action is done it moves on to execute and translate the next part of the program code.

An interpreted language is a language that that was translated by interpreters. python is an interpreted language.]]> 2018-04-17 12:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dave_lacumber/zjlv7pebt2eb/wish/252531937
