Could you give examples of software?

This may sound obvious but could you give me some examples of what a software is, although I know some examples?

    first i need to describe hardware, which is the device itself and any peripherals you can connect, such as keyboard, mice, and printers.

    then software refers to programs and scripts you can run on the hardware. it uses all ghe parts of the hardware to run its code, and accomplish something, taking input from the user and making the specified changes.

    computers are designed to do anything you can imagine, but without software to tell it what to do, the hardware will just sit there. even your operating system is a piece of software!

    Yes, it's obvious and you must be bored to ask such an obvious question. The browser you're using to post your question is an example of software.
