Introduction to Computer

COMPUTER- Basically the term COMPUTER is derived from "GREEK" word which means to calculate. Hence we can say that computer is a calculating device.
In other word we can say that Computer is an electronic device which store data processing and give out the result.
  • A computer is an electronic device which performs "Arithmetical and logical operation.
  • A computer understood binary digit that is 0 and 1.
Computer is an electronic device which accepts  data form user through input device and process the data with the help of processor after processing we desired output form.

A computer also refereed as data processor because It can store the data, Process the data, and Retrieve data whenever desired.

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.

Characteristics Of Computer

                        1. SPEED :- Computer is very fast calculating device. It can execute basic operations like substraction,addition,multiplication and division at a few microseconds. It can move and copy data at a speed in the order of billion instruction per second.  2. ACCURACY :- Computer always gives accurate results. The accuracy of Computer does not go down when they are used continuously for hours together. It always gives accurate results.  3. STORAGE CAPACITY :- Computer have a very large storage capacity. A  large volume of information can be stored in the memory of computer and information can be retrieved correctly when desired.  4. VERSATILITY:- The working of computer with different types of data is known as versatillity. That means computer can perform different types of job efficiently. Computer can works with differents type of data and informa...
