What is Hardware, Software and Liveware?Explained in details.
Constituents of Computer System:
A computer system constitutes:
(a) Hardware
(b) Software
(c)Liveware
Hardware:
All the physical - electronic/electromagnetic components of a Computer that has certain mass.
Hardware constitutes all the parts and peripherals of a computer. It includes the CPU(Central processing Unit), motherboard or the circuitory including IC's, chips etc.In association with peripherals such as IO devices like keyboard,light pen,printer,digital camera etc.; secondary memories like DVD,CD-Rom,Hard disk etc.; network devices like modem,routers,transponders etc.

A set of program is called software.A set of instructions is called program. A set of commands is called Instruction. A Command is a predetermined pattern or logical value assigned to an entity.
Software refers to its two types:
(i) System Software:It includes all the linkers,loaders,operating system etc.
(ii) Application Software:It includes all packages,utilities and other customized softwares.
