Number system and its types:-

Number system :- This is the medium by which we can represent the number into equivalent of different format when we type some letter or word the computer translate them a number because computer can understood only number.

Types of number system 


  •     Positional number system 
  •     Non positional number system 


Positional Number System:
In positional number system, there are only a few symbols called digits, and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number. The value of each digit in such a number is determined by three considerations__
1.      The digit.
2.      The position of the digit in the number.
3.      The base of the number system.

Non-Positional Number System: 
In the non-positional number systems, the characters used are I for 1, II for 2, etc, and are of position invariant, i.e. each symbol represents the same value regardless of its position in the number. Since it is very difficult to perform arithmetic calculations with such a number system, positional number system were developed. 

There are following types of number system in computer:-

1. Decimal Number system
2. Binary number system
3. octal number system
4. Hexadecimal number system

1. Decimal number system :- the base of decimal number system is 10 and used                                               number are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
as a computer programmer or IT expert we used following number system

 I. Binary Number system :- the base of binary number system is 2 and the used number are 0 and 1

II.Octal number system :- the base of octal number system is 8 and used number are 0 to 7

III. Hexadecimal number system :- the base of hexadecimal number system is 16 and used number are 0 to 9 and some special character that is A to F

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 A,B,C,D,E,F.

Characteristics of Computer:-

Computers of all sizes have common characteristics - speed, arithmetical and logical operations, accuracy, reliability, storage, retrieving data and programs, automation, versatility, communications, diligence, feelings, consistency and precision. Computers are the foundation of business, travel, and leisure life today. Computers provide the processing speed required by all facets of society. The quick service we expect at the bank, at the grocery store, on the stock exchange, and on the Internet are dependent on the speed of computers.    Computers are extremely reliable as well. Most errors are caused by humans, not computers. Computers are capable of storing enormous amounts of data that must be located and retrieved very quickly. The capability to store and retrieve volumes of data is at the core of the Information Age. Now-a-days computer is playing a main role in everyday life it has become the need of people just like television, telephone or other electronic devices ...

Working Process of Computer

Computer is an electronic device its work with the help of  1. Data 2. Process 3. Information 1.  Data  :- Data is a fractional part of information some time data has meaning or meaningless if data has meaning then meaning couldn't affect to human beings. 2 .  Process: -  A set of steps carried out the refined data is called process in      processing  in processing computer convert data into information. 3.  Information:-  collection of data is called information when its meaning effect to human beings.

Functions Of Computer

Any digital computer carried out difference function :-    1. Takes data from user through input device.(Input unit)          2. Process the data through processing unit (Processing unit)     3. Store the data through storing device (memory unit)      4. Get desired output through (Output unit)         5.  Control all over four operation (Control unit) So we can say that computer functioned depend on their essential devices, these device are                         1. Input unit                                    2. Processing unit + Control unit ( CPU)                       3. Memory unit                       ...
