Application program :

Application program or Application software, is a computer software package that performs a specific function directly for an end user or, in some cases, for another application.

An application can be self-contained or a group of programs. The program is a set of operations that runs the application for the user.

It directs all the peripheral devices on a computer system - what to do and how to perform work. Without Software, we can’t operate hardware and perform any calculations.

A computer system can be divided into three components: the hardware, the software and the users.

The software can be further divided into mainly two parts: Application software and System Software
