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.

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                       ...

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...
