It is physical parts of the computer.  It is set of instructions given to the computer systematically. 2. We can touch, see and feel hardware of a computer/laptop. We cannot touch and feel software present in a computer/laptop. 3. Hardware is made up of physical materials or components. Software is developed by …

Output Units Output Units or devices display the result of input data or signals after processing it. Output is the process of producing results from the data for getting useful information. Output devices display information on the screen (monitor) or the printer and send information to other computers. Output devices also display messages about what errors may have occurred and bring up a message or dialog box asking for more information to be input. The …

Introduction of Memory Units Memory Units are also known as Memory Systems. Computer memory is the physical device/component where the computer holds data, information, and programs either temporarily or permanently that are in use.  When the data or information is kept in memory the CPU can access it much more quickly. The CPU is constantly using the memory system during processing time. Memory Write : The act of entering data into a storage location is …

Introduction of Input Units Input Units is also known as Input System. The computer will be of no use if it is not communicating with the external world. Thus, a computer must have a system to receive information from the outside world and must be able to communicate results to the external world. Thus, a computer consists of input/output devices. Input/output devices constitute a major part of a computer system. These are also called Peripheral …

Introduction of Structure of a Computer Structure of a Computer is also considered as Hardware of Computers. Hardware is considered as the first part of a computer.  Hardware does all the physical work of a computer with the help of software. Hardware is an essential component of any computer system. Definition Hardware is all the visible/touchable/physical components of the computer system. Hardware is just a collection of circuits and pieces of plastic, wood, fibers, metal, …

In this topic, Software and its types are discussed in detail which are as follows – Introduction The software enables a computer to perform all the useful and desired functions. Different types of software help a computer to be used for multiple and varied purposes, in totally different areas of work. Software is the second part of the computer after hardware. It is the software that enables a computer to perform all the useful and …

Types or Categories or Classifications of Computers Classifications of Computers can be done essentially using two different types of computer processing technology. Each is made possible by a different kind of circuitry, and each is suitable for different purposes. Computers are broadly classified into three major categories, based on the technology used in this computer – (X) Analog Computers (Y) Digital Computers (Z) Hybrid Computers  (X) Analog Computers The name analog comes from the word …

Use/Applications of Computer When there was no computer, everywhere the manual system was followed which was very complicated and hard work but now with the arrival of the computer, everything has become much more systematic and easy to use. Some major applications of computer in various fields of our life are given below: – Banking : Every bank is now using a computerized system because it is very fast and user-friendly.

Without a program, a computer is nothing. A computer only follows these given instructions. If the instructions are not accurate the working of the computer will not be accurate. Without supervision, computers …

Fundamentals of Computer is described below – Introduction of Fundamentals of Computer The main function of a computer is to process the input data according to a specific program to produce the desired output. This is why a computer is often viewed as a data processing device.  Various components of a computer work coherently to perform different operations to process the data according to program instructions. Nowadays computers have something to offer to everyone. Whether …
