Block diagram of Computer:-

A block diagram of computer is also called basic diagram of computer or basic building block of computer

A block diagram of computer consists three sub unit that is 















1. Input unit :- input unit is the set of various unit devices into a computer system input unit can be defined as "devices by which user can inset the data into a computer system is called input devices.

    In other word we can say that "devices by which user can send the data into a computer system.

Example of input devices are :- Keyboard, Mouse,Joystick etc.


2. Storage Unit - Storage unit is also called memory unit , Memory unit deals with the set of various memory devices into a computer system memory unit can be defined as "devices to store data instruction program and processed it inside the computer system." 

I.  ALU :-  An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit used to perform arithmetic and logic operations. It represents the fundamental building block of the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer.
in other word we can say that ALU performs arithmetic operation like "Addition(+), Subtraction (-) Multiplication(*), Division(/) and logical operation like"YES, NO, TRUE, FALSE .


II. CU :- CU stands for "Control Unit" and control the execution of all kinds of program with generating control signals.


III. ALU+CU(Central processing unit) also called CPU it is also called brain of computer. Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor, but more commonly called processor.

A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

3. Output Unit :- Output unit is the set of various output devices into a computer system output unit can be defined as "devices by which user get desired output is called output devices.

Example of output devices are :- Monitor, printer Plotter.etc

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...
