Короткий опис(реферат):
EN: Currently, hundreds of thousands of different computer application
programs have been developed and used for various applications. The most
widely used programs are:
preparation of texts (documents) on the computer − text editors;
preparation of documents of printing quality − publishing systems;
tabular data processing − tabular processors;
processing arrays of information − database management systems.
The application program is any specific program that contributes to the
solution of any problem within this problem area. For example, where the
computer is entrusted with the task of monitoring the financial activities of any
firm, a program for preparing payment information will be applicable.
Application programs can also have a general nature, for example, to provide
drafting and printing of documents, etc. Application programs can be used either
autonomously, i.e. to solve the task independently of other programs, or it can be
used as a part of software complexes or packages. It should be noted that
software, including application software, is developed using special tools -
programming languages by specialists in this field.
