4. The Big Picture: What is Sof... Why C++? Essential Tools in the Devel... Anatomy of a Simple C++ Pr... Software is a series of instructions that tells hardware how to perform specific tasks. It bridges the gap between human ideas and machine execution. Every use of a smartphone or laptop relies on software functioning behind the scenes.

5. The Big Picture: What is Sof... Why C++? Essential Tools in the Devel... Anatomy of a Simple C++ Pr... C++ is used in operating systems, game engines, and offers a strong foundation in programming. Learning C++ helps develop skills that apply to other languages like Java, C#, and Python. Major software like Windows 8 and parts of Adobe Creative Suite are built using C++.
