and integrated into the hardware it controls. This includes Firmware (BIOS in
computer) and Control Systems (Software in automotive control systems)

A

Embedded Software

23
Q

Software developers write the instructions using programming
languages like Java, Python, etc. These instructions are in the form of
algorithms and logic to achieve specific tasks.

A

Coding

24
Q

Depending upon the programming
language the code is either compiled or interpreted. Programming
languages like C, C++, and C# in which code is compiled and
programming languages like PHP, Python, and Ruby in which code is
interpreted

A

Compilation/ Interpretation

25
Q

Once the software is compiled/ interpreted, it can be executed
by the CPU. The CPU reads and executes the machine instructions
generated from the code.

A

Execution

26
Q
