A multi programming system is one that can Share hardware resources with many programs simultaneously.
Multitasking has the same meaning of multiprogramming but in a more general sense, as it refers to having multiple (programs, processes, tasks, threads) running at the same time. This term is used in modern operating systems when multiple tasks share a common processing resource (e.g., CPU and Memory).
The differences between multiprocessing and multiprogramming. Multiprocessing refers to processing of multiple processes at same time by multiple CPUs. Multiprogramming keeps several programs in main memory at the same time and execute them concurrently utilizing single CPU.
Multi-user software is software that allows access by multiple users of a computer. Time-sharing systems are multi-user systems. Most batch processing systems for mainframe computers may also be considered "multi-user", to avoid leaving the CPU idle while it waits for I/O operations to complete.
