All computers perform five basic operations to convert raw input data into useful information: 1) taking input from users through input devices, 2) storing data and instructions in memory, 3) processing data through arithmetic and logical operations, 4) producing output information for users through output devices, and 5) controlling the sequence of the other operations. The central processing unit (CPU) acts as the computer's brain by performing all data processing, storing intermediate results and instructions in its memory and control units, and controlling the operations of the computer.

for
converting raw input data into information useful to their users
Sr.
No.

Operation

Description

Take Input

The process of entering data and instructions into the computer


system.

Store Data

Saving data and instructions so that they are available for processing
as and when required.

Processing Data

Performing arithmetic , logical operations on data in order to convert


them into useful information.

Output Information

The process of producing useful information or results for the


user,such as a printed report or visual display.

Control the workflow

Direct the manner and sequence in which all of the above operations
are performed.

Input Unit
This unit contains devices with the help of which we enter data into computer.This unit makes link between user and
computer.
The input devices translate the human being information into the form understandable by computer.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

CPU is considered as the brain of the computer. CPU perform all types of data processing operations.It stores data ,
intermediate results and instructions(program).It controls the operation of all parts of computer.
CPU itself has following three components

ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)

Memory Unit

Control Unit

Output Unit
Output unit consists of devices with the help of which we get the information from computer. This unit is a link
between computer and users.
Output devices translate the computer's output into the form understandable by users.
