what is data cable? Types of cables, uses of data cables, importance of data cable explained!

Introduction of data cables Data cable is an important part of computer network model . From smartphone to supercomputer connections and wide range network uses and network models. It helps in network model in different types of topology models also. But we discuss what exactly called a data cable? How it is working with network model? Why these data cables are so important? In this guide, I will provide some information about the definitions, types, uses of data cables on network model with easy explanation of data cable covered topics. What is data cable? [Definition] A data cable is a wire that can transfer the data from one to another computer system. It connects to the ports available on the computer system. The user can transfer the data from one computer to another data cable connection. If two computers are connected then:- In according to data cable male port:- Port 1:- the male port of data cable is used to receive the data from the sender computer. Port 2:- th...

What do you understand by software? Name various categories of them, giving at least one example for each.

Software

Software is a group programs that makes a system to provide a desire output. Basically the software also combination of program, logic, functions, header files, system file package, database, variables and output results.

There are three categories of the software following below.

1. System software or Operating system

2. Application Software

3. Utility software

this image shows the software basically three types are utility software, system software and application software.


1. System software or operating system

System software makes interfaces between hardware and user where user uses the hardware easily and can operates properly. It provides an environment to run the application software and their development.

Example: Windows operating system, MAC OS, IOS, Android, Symbian etc.

2. Application software

Application software is software that makes for specific task and provides the desire output. It runs in operating system.

Example: Video player, MS office, MS paint etc.

3. Utility software

Utility software is work behind the operating system that controls the security, Manage firewall. This type of software is care about your computer.

Example: Back-up software, disk tool, Anti-virus software.


Can an operating system provide an environment for application software?


Yes, it is true that the Operating system provides an environment to the application software to install and run into their given environment for application software.

The application software provides a specific problem of solution that the user can perform some step on the application software and get the output as a solution from the application software.

The operating system also provides a supporting environment of saving the file of application as a product to the storage device to use it to store at specific memory address.

The file has also an extension given by the application software to access only from the application, not the operating system able to open or run the file.

For example:- a file has a 'filename.ghj' from the application software that provides the extension of (.ghj) and the filename is a name of file that given by the end user on the application software to find and retrieve the file from the storage device on the computer.

how the track ball is differ from the mouse and joystick

What are the differences between trackball, mouse and joystick devices? The differences are according to the track ball device verse mouse and joystick Trackball The track ball is a pointing device which contains a ball over the device or above the device. The track ball is a statics device that cannot move from one place to another. The track ball gives you a stability to use the device without moving the whole and just move the ball or roll the on the device. It uses as input device that depends on finger and thumbs only to moves the ball. It is slower than mouse due to cause the dependency the finger and thumb to move the ball to track the path of the pointer. What is trackball used for? The trackball is an input device which is used to provide 2 dimensions to move the ball over the device the ball is attached to. The trackball is used to move the pointer of the operating system where the ball is moved according to the position of the 2 dimensions x and y axis on the...
