    Hello,

    software is a program...

    software refers to a set, for example: a software update for Windows, meaning that there are several patches.

      Well, at first glance, "logiciel" ends with -el and "logicielle" ends with -elle; otherwise, "logiciel" is a computer program. "Logicielle" is used as an adjective, for example: a software library (a collection of compiled functions). This type of library consists of functions useful for the proper functioning of a program because a program is nothing more than functions one after another receiving arguments and emitting a result on the model input - output.

      int function(int variable); <- Prototype of the function before the main function of the program

      function(argument); // function call

      ///library

      int Function(int variable);
      {
      //code
      //code

      return to the main function;
      }

      A program generally containing many so-called recursive functions needs, to lighten itself, a software library.
