Relationship Between Computer Hardware and Software
- Both the Hardware and software are mutually dependent on each other. Each should function properly so that the computer produces an output.
- Software utilization can not be done without supporting of the hardware.
- Relevant software should be loaded into the hardware to get the latest software.
- Hardware is a one-time expense while software is not.
- Software development is very expensive while hardware cant be developed if in use once.
- Many software applications and their sub-applications can be loaded on hardware to run different jobs.
- The software acts as an interface between the user and the hardware.
Computer Hardware
Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as a case, central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), monitor, and mouse which processes the input according to the set of instructions provided to it by the user and gives the desired output.
The computer has mainly has two major components:
- Hardware
- Software
In this article, we only discuss computer hardware.
