What is computer ? it’s a simple question but its definition is more vast .It is the advanced developed electronic device machine which is design to work with the different information given by the user. The term computer is the Latin word. In Latin computer is written as “computare “which means to calculate or programmable machine. Without any program computer cannot do anything so computer needs any program and information . It represent the decimal numbers through the binary digits. The computer usually submit to the central processing unit I.e. CPU and internal memory.
Charles Babbage is known as the
father of the computer .At first Charles Babbage design the mechanical computer
.It uses the Ram (Read only memory ) in the form of the punch cards .
Computer is an electronic device
that takes the given data from the user as input and process that given data
and gives the result (the result is known as the output )and saves result for the future use .Both numerical and
non numerical calculations are processed by the computer .
As the modern computer has
following basic components :
¶ Input device
¶ Output device
¶ Mass storage device and memory .
Now
days in the modern computer LSI chips are used .
The process of working of the
computer can be written as,
Input takes the information given by
the user and then the given data is processes by the CPU and the result is
shown by the monitor as the output device and the internal memory saves the
processed file .
Accepts the data given from the user ,
|
Input device
|
Process the data which is accepted by the input device,
|
CPU(central processing unit )
|
Gives the processed result on
the monitor ,
|
Output device
|
Classification of the computers on the basis of the power and size:
According to the function of the computer they can be
classified in the following types ,
Analog computer :-
A computer that presents the numbers by
some continuously different physical quantities whose variations are imitate
the properties of some system is being molded .
PC(personal computer):-A personal computer is
low cost I.e. not more expensive and it is small.A pc computer is cost less
that of the cost of the desktop.
Workstation :
Minicomputer :
Mainframe :
Supercomputer: super computer are those computer
which are very fastest and more expensive computer and it is the biggest .
Microcomputer: IT is the small computer .In now
days w
e can say that our personal computers are the microcomputer and it
doesn’t cost more.
Here I will try to write about
the computer for some knowledge for you if you see any problem or any
mistake on this article please write a comment ,I will try to correct that
problem or mistake .so please read and give me a comment from you.If you give me a comment I will try my
best to rewrite it and make it
perfect for you and other readers.
