Q1=What are 5 differences between hardware and software with examples?

Ans= Now that we have some basic idea about what is hardware and software, let's
have a look at the table below where we highlight the key difference between
software and hardware..
1=Basis;
Basic Definition;
hardware;
It consists of physical devices that make up computers and other electronic
devices.
software;
It refers to any sequence of instructions to hardware that directs them to perform
various tasks.
2=Types;
hardware;There are four primary categories of hardware- output devices, input
devices, secondary and primary storage devices, and internal components.
software;There are two primary types of software- system software and application
software.
3=Development process;
hardware;It is manufactured with electronics and other physical components.
software;It is developed, designed, and engineered with help of programming codes.
4=Components;
hardware;Hardware is made of electronic components like ICs, crystals, registers,
diodes, insulators, boards, etc
software;Software is made of codes in programming languages, alphabets, numbers/
alphanumeric symbols, identifiers, etc.
5=Functioning;
hardware;It must be integrated with other physical components to function.
software;It starts functioning as soon as it is installed on the computer.
6=Damage recovery;
hardware;When damaged, hardware must be replaced with a new component.
software;When damaged, software needs to be reinstalled, not replaced.
7=Tangible;
hardware;It is tangible since it can be seen and touched.
software;It is intangible since it does not have a physical presence
8=Vulnerability;
hardware;They are not vulnerable to viruses.
software;They are vulnerable to viruses, hence the need for antivirus programs.
9=Durability;
hardware;Hardware is prone to wear and tear with use.
software;Software is not prone to wear and tear, however, it may contain flaws and
also become outdated over time.
10=Language;
hardware;It only understands low-level language or machine language.
software;It accepts all common programming languages, including both low and high-
level languages. That is, it takes human-readable input in programming languages
and
it to machine languages for hardware to execute.
11=Transferability ;
hardware;Needs to be physically transferred from one place to another.
software;It can be digital transfer from one place to another via network
connections.
12=Dependency;
hardware;Hardware can function without software.
software;The software cannot be executed without hardware.

Q2=
What are the hardwares of a computer?
Ans=Examples of Computer Hardware
Computer case (or computer tower)
Motherboard.
Central processing unit (CPU)
Graphics processing unit (GPU)
Power supply unit (PSU)
Internal disk drive.
Optical disk drive.
Memory or RAM (think USB sticks)

Q3=What is hardware explain?


Ans=Hardware refers to the external and internal devices and equipment that enable
you to perform major functions such as input,
output, storage, communication, processing, and more. There are two types of
computer hardware: external and internal.

Q4=What are two types of software?


Ans=The two main types of software are system software and application software.
System software controls a
computer's internal functioning, chiefly through an operating system, and also
controls such peripherals as monitors, printers, and storage devices.

Q5=What are the advantages of hardware?


Ans=reduce costs by automating routine tasks, such as record-keeping, accounting
and payroll.
improve customer service or supplier relationships. develop more effective
communication within the business or with customers.
increase business efficiency and staff productivity.

Q6=What is hardware needed for?


Ans=Overview. While software is needed to make any hardware useful, without the
correct hardware your
software may not run efficiently or even at all. Hardware includes PCs, tablet
computers, laptops, servers, network equipment, scanners and printers.

Q7=What are the types of hardware?


Ans=There are two types of computer hardware: external and internal. External
hardware devices
include monitors, keyboards, printers, and scanners, whereas internal hardware
devices include motherboards, hard drives, and RAM.

Q8=What are the 4 classifications of hardware tools?


Ans=Hardware tools are grouped into four categories:
ESD tools.
Hand tools.
Cleaning tools.
Diagnostic tools.
