How They Work Together

Neither can function without the other! They exist in a constant feedback loop.

• Software Controls: It provides the specific instructions and logic for the system.
• Hardware Executes: The physical parts carry out the commands and perform the work.

Think of it like a musician (Software) playing an instrument (Hardware)!
