    A computer accepts input in the form of digital data, manipulates it based on a program of instructions, and provides output in a desired form. It performs three operations: 1) Receives data and instructions from input devices, 2) Processes the data as instructed, 3) Provides results in an output form. Software provides instructions for telling a computer what to do and how to do it, and can be categorized into system software for basic functions and application software for specific tasks. Hardware refers to physical computer components like the keyboard, monitor, mouse, and printer, as well as internal components like the CPU and hard drive.

    LAB #1: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER

    INTRODUCTION:
    A Computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates
    it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be
    processed.

    It performs the following three operations in sequence.


    1. It receives data & instructions from the input device.
    2. Processes the data as per instructions.
    3. Provides the result (output) in a desired form.
    QUESTION
    1. Copy and complete the following table

    LAB #2 COMPUTER SOFTWARE

    Examples

    INTRODUCTION:
    Software is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions.Computer
    software, or just software, is a collection of computer programs and related data that provides
    the instructions for telling a computer what to do and how to do it. Computer software is a
    program that tells a computer what to do. These instructions might be internal commands, such
    as updating the system clock, or a response to external input received from the keyboard or
    mouse. Software is created with programming languages and related utilities, which may come
    in several of the above forms: single programs like script interpreters, packages containing a
    compiler, linker, and other tools; and large suites (often called Integrated Development
    Environments) that include editors, debuggers, and other tools for multiple languages. Software
    is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions, often broken into
    two major categories: system software that provides the basic non-task-specific functions of the
    computer, and application software which is used by users to accomplish specific tasks.

    LAB #3 IDENTIFICATION AND USES OF COMPONENTS


    INTRODUCTION:

    The term computer hardware refers to the physical components of a computer, namely Keyboard,
    Monitor, Mouse, and Printer, including the digital circuitry. Computer hardware is an integral
    part embedded in all modern day automobiles, microwave ovens, electrocardiograph machines,
    compact disc players, and other devices. The hardware of a computer is not changed frequently,
    in contrast with software and data.
    Hardware can be inside or outside the computer:
    The CPU and hard drive are inside the computer.
    The keyboard, monitor, and printer are outside the computer and must be connected by cables.

    The figure above is a Monitor, otherwise known as Visual


    Display Unit(VDU). Its an output device (peripheral) whose job is to display the output result
    and to select options of the computer.

    QUESTIONS
    Identify the following component, their uses and state whether they are input, output or
    storage device.

    LAB #6 TRANSLATORS
    INTRODUCTION
    Translator translates program written in one programming language into (equivalent) program
    written in another language. For example, Java to C# translator would translate Java program
    into (equivalent) C# program. This is similar to as if you would translate some text in English
    into Spanish or vice versa.
    A translator is a computer program that translates a program written in a given programming
    language into a functionally equivalent program into a different language.
    There are three different types of translator.

    QUESTIONS
    1. What is the function of a language translator?
