Computer Hardware consists of the physical components that make up a computer. Some examples are and Microprocessor, a Hard Drive, or a Motherboard.

Computer Software consists of applications or programs that the user runs on a computer, such as a word processor or a video game.

An Operating System is a specific piece of software that allows other software to manipulate computer hardware to achieve a desired effect. Some Operating Systems are Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux, or Apple OS

Basically the three interact as follows:

Hardware <-> Operating System <-> Software

(<-> specifies an interaction between two components.)

In addition computer hardware deal with different devices that interact into the computer software then it show the capacity and data of the applications while the operating system it is the combination of performance which spreadout to access each other components.

And stop cheating... Thankyou.

How a operating system is related to computer hardware?

The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.

State the relationship between an application program the operating system and hardware?

The relationship between an application program and the underlying hardware is usually shown in the form of a stack of layers as shown below: # Application # Application Programming Interface (API) # Operating System # Device Driver # Hardware Most applications need to know how to talk to the operating system - which is why the operating system will provide a set of programming libraries knows as APIs or SDKs (Software Development Kits) for programmers to use when writing applications. The APIs sit between the operating system and the running application. The running application relies on the API to perform essential tasks on the computer by telling the operating system what it wants to do - which is why a program that is written to use Windows Vista APIs will not run on an Apple Mac without some kind of emulation or help. Because there are so many different pieces of hardware, it would be impossible for an operating system to support them all (especially the lesser known devices). That's why hardware manufacturers will write device drivers for different operating systems, so the operating system knows how to talk to the hardware.


What makes a computer work?

Hardware - the physical components, both internal and external, that make up a computer. Operating System - a set of computer programs that manages the hardware of a computer. An operating system controls the resources on a computer, including memory and disk storage. An example of an operating system is Windows XP. Application Software - programs loaded on the computer to perform a specific function using the capabilities of the computer. An example of application software is a word processor or a computer game

What is software used to help run the computer hardware is the?

The software used to help run the computer hardware is known as an operating system. An operating system is a set of programs that manage computer hardware resources and provide common services for application software. It acts as an intermediary between the hardware and the user applications, facilitating communication and coordination between all components of the computer system. Examples of popular operating systems include Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.


Where is the operating system stored on the computer?

An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs require an operating system to function. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware . The most popular and latest ones include the Windows XP, Mac, UNIX, Linux, Windows Vista, etc.
