Answer
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, such as the CPU, memory, and storage devices, which provide the infrastructure for computing operations. However, without software — the programs and applications that instruct hardware how to function — these components cannot perform meaningful tasks. Conversely, software requires hardware to execute its instructions. Software encompasses operating systems, applications, and utilities that enable users to interact with computers and perform specific tasks. These programs rely on hardware to provide processing power, storage, and input/output capabilities necessary for running software effectively. Together, hardware and software make the computer system function.
