The software controls the hardware. It sends commands and instructions to the hardware components, instructing them on how to perform specific tasks and operations. The software can be in the form of an operating system, device drivers, firmware, or applications.
Hardware is controlled by software. Software is a set of instructions or programs that tells the hardware what tasks to perform and how to perform them. These instructions are typically written in programming languages and are executed by the hardware's central processing unit (CPU). The software communicates with the hardware components, such as the motherboard, memory, storage devices, and input/output devices, to carry out the desired operations. In essence, the software acts as an intermediary between the user or application and the hardware, enabling the user to interact with and utilize the hardware resources effectively.
