-Software Development-Software systems implement various algorithms that
transform data from one form into another, perform calculations, manipulate files,
or complete other tasks that may be repetitive, time-consuming, or dangerous to
an employee. A few examples of tasks software systems perform include
controlling the movements of industrial robotic arms, sending emails, and editing
text.
