Quiz Description

Here, quiz 2 on Computer software will be throwing more light into a better understanding of what software is, and its types, as well as functions as far as the whole computer system, is concerned. There are software developers who develop a lot of software for use by us in our machines and without some of this software, our laptops and computers won’t function well. This quiz will be testing your knowledge on how well you know the computer software system and the types of systems which are there. 

There are 4 main types of computer software: application software, System software, Programming Software, and Driver software. Each of these softwares has particular purposes and performs particular tasks in the computer system. For example, application software deals with applications or apps in short, and system software controls the computer's internal function.
