INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS
“ Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all”
- John F. Kennedy -

DATA PROCESSING

Data – any collection of facts

Example:
Sales Reports , Inventory figures customer’s names and addresses
-Data may be numerical or non-numerical

Data Processing – manipulation of data into a more useful form

--includes not only numerical calculations but also operations such as
classification of data

Data Processing System – refers to the equipment or devices and procedures by which the result
is achieved

DATA PROCESSING CYCLE

Input Processing Output

1. Input
 Initial data or input data are prepared in some convenient form of processing

2. Processing
 Input data are changed , and usually combined with other information, to
produce data in a more useful form

3. Output
 The results of the preceding processing steps are collected

for further processing at a later date

AREAS OF DATA PROCESSING

1. Business Data Processing (BDP)

 Characterized by the need to establish, retain and process files of data for
producing useful information.
 Generally, it involves a large volume of input data , limited arithmetical
operations and a relatively large volume of output

2. Scientific Data Processing (SDP)

 In science, data processing involves a limited volume of input and many logical
or arithmetic calculations.
 Most of the scientific problems are non-repetitive, requiring a “ont-time”
solution

DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS

1. Recording
 Refers to the transfer of data onto some form or document
 It relates to the documentation of intermediate figures and facts

2. Verifying
 Checking of recorded data for any errors

afterwards by some machine

4. Classifying
 Identifying and arranging items with like characteristics into groups or classes

5. Sorting
 Arranging data in a specific order

6. Calculating

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

All operations performed by the computer system are controlled by the physical device called
the central processing unit. It is the “brain” of the computer system. It contains the arithmetic
and logic unit, control unit , and internal storage unit.

a. Control Unit
 Supervises or monitors the functions by the entire computer system according
to the conditions set forth by the stored program
 Fetches instructions from main storage and other system units to perform
certain operation at appropriate times
 Acts as a “central nervous system” but performs no actual processing operations
of data

Learning objectives:

At the end of the lesson , the student will be able to:

1. Learn the components of the motherboard.
2. Discuss the functions of these components

MOTHERBOARD AND ITS PARTS

Motherboard
 Large circuit board where everything else plugs into
 Carries the data between the various parts as the information is processed. The
various parts that may be included or plugged into it are the modem, video
card, network card and others.
 Plugs are called ports and are usually at the back of the CPU box
 Collection of devices that control the flow of data and operating electricity for all
the primary components in a PC
 Most important part of the PC since it is the source from which all
communications and work come to and from your computer.
 The motherboard, without all the cards and components or devices connected
to it simply handles the interconnection of the CPU, the BIOS, the RAM and the
I/O

CPU RAM BIOS

I/O

Data is placed in the computer via the I/O. The CPU processes this data in a scheduled
sequence. The data that is not processed and also that has been processed stays in the
RAM waiting to be called to be shown in an output device. The BIOS is a built-in
software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a
disk.

A. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)

 The BIOS chip controls the most basic functions of the computer and performs a
self-test every time you turn it on.

B. Chips
 chips or Integrated Circuits are hundreds of transistors packed in a small
package and they perform some functions. These chips in the motherboard are:
a. Read Only Memory (ROM) chips which store Basic Input / Output System
and other programs
b. CMOS storage which contains user-defined data used by the setup program

c. Controllers which put together certain important functions. Some of these

controllers are for video, disk and other devices.

C. Northbridge and Southbridge

 These two bridges connect the CPU to other parts of the computer
1. The Northbridge
- handles all the data flows to and from the main memory plus all the
CPUs transactions
-the main function is to handle the memory, CPU and AGP data transfe
duties
-handles mission-critical jobs , as control of the CPU and memory makes
up a high percentage of overall system activity

2. The Southbridge
-handles the data for most of the ports (PCI, ISA, IDE, USB, etc)
-slower than the northbridge and information from the CPU has to go
through the Northbridge before reaching the Southbridge.
-handles miscellaneous , lower priority tasks.

D. SLOTS
 ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) is an older technology for connecting
computer peripherals. Common current devices include modems and sound
cards.
 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is a high-speed connection for devices
including SCSI cards , video cards , sound cards , modems , video capture cards.
 AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is an interface specification that enables 3D
graphics to display quickly on ordinary PCs. AGP is designed to convey 3D images
much more quickly and smoothly.
 PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) are connections for video,
sound and video capture cards as well as multitude of other cards.

E. Plugs, Connectors and Ports

 Allow external devices to be connected

LESSON III NUMBER SYSTEMS

DATA REPRESENTATION IN COMPUTERS

In computer , data is recorded as electronic signals or indicators. Computer components can be

in only one of the two possible conditions at any given time .

Representing data within the computer is accomplished by assigning a specific value to each
binary component.

The binary system is the positional numeration system to the base 2. Binary notation
uses only two symbols: 0 and 1. In any position of the notation, the symbol 0 represents the
absence of an assigned value; the symbol 1 , represents the presence of an assigned value.

Gottfried W. von Leibniz – 17th century German mathematician was known to be an advocate of
the binary system

The symbols in a binary notation (0 and 1) are called bits. Binary numbers that have no fractional
part are called binary integers.

Power of Two Decimal Value

5
2 32
24 16
23 8
22 4
21 2
20 1
2-1 ½ = 0.5
2-2 ¼ = 0.25
2-3 1/8 = 0.125

DECIMAL – BINARY CONVERSION

One approach is to use the division-multiplication method.

Rule:
Divide that number repeatedly by the value of the base to which the number is being
converted. The division operation is repeated until the quotient is zero. The remainders
– written in reverse of the order in which they were obtained , form the new equivalent
numeral.

Example: Convert the decimal numeral 139 to its binary equivalent

DIVISIONS QUOTIENTS REMAINDERS

139 / 2 69 1
69 / 2 34 1
34 / 2 17 0
17 / 2 8 1
8/2 4 0
4/2 2 0
2/2 1 0
1/2 0 1

Therefore: 13910 = 10010112

Binary numerals can be converted to decimal by the use of expanded notation. When
this approach is used, the position values of the original numeral are written out.

a. 101 = 1x22 +0x21 + 1x20

=4+0+1
=5

b. 1100 = 1x23 + 1x22 +0x21 + 0x20

= 8 + 4 +0 + 0
= 12

1. 100110
2. 1111
3. 11000
4. 111111
5. 10001

CONVERSION OF FRACTIONS: DECIMAL TO BINARY

A decimal fraction may be converted into its equivalent binary notation. A much simpler method
consists of repeatedly doubling the decimal fraction and noting the integral part of the product.

Example: Convert the following decimal fractions to its binary equivalent : 0.375 and 0.40625

a. MULTIPLICATIONS INTEGRAL PARTS

0.375 x 2 = 0.75 0
0.75 x2 = 1.5 1
1.5 x2 = 1.0 1

Therefore: 0.37510 = 0.0112

b. MULTIPLICATIONS INTEGRAL PARTS

COURSE TITLE: COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS AND BASIC COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

0.40625 X 2 = 0.8125 0
0.8125 X 2 = 1.625 1
0.625 X 2 = 1.25 1
0.25 X 2 = 0.5 0
0.5 X 2 = 1.0 1

Therefore: 0.40625 10 = 0.011012

CONVERTING DECIMAL NUMBERS WITH INTEGRAL AND FRACTIONAL PARTS INTO ITS BINARY
EQUIVALENT

Example: Convert the decimal number 24.625 to its binary equivalent

1st Step: Converting the Integral Part

DIVISIONS QUOTIENTS REMAINDERS
24 / 2 12 0
12 / 2 6 0
6/2 3 0
3/2 1 1
1/2 0 1

Therefore: 2410 = 110002

2nd Step: Converting the fractional part

MULTIPLICATIONS INTEGRAL PARTS
0.625x 2 = 1.25 1
0.25 x 2 = 0.5 0
0.5 x 2 = 1.0 1

Therefore: 0.62510 = 0.1012

3rd Step : The Binary equivalent of 24.625 is simply the sum of these two equivalents. Thus
2410 + 0.62510 = 110002 + 0.1012

24.62510 = 11000.1012

CONVERTING BINARY NUMBERS WITH INTEGRAL AND FRACTIONAL PARTS INTO DECIMAL
EQUIVALENTS

The expanded notation is still used, only this time we also consider the place values of
the fractional part which are the negative powers of two.

a. 0.101 = 1x2-1 + 0x2-2 + 1x2 -3

= ½ + 0 + 1/8
= 0.5 + 0 + 0.125
= 0.625

b. 11.011 = 1x21 + 1x20 + 0x2-1 +1x2 -2 + 1x2-3

OCTAL SYSTEM
The octal number system has a base , or a radix of eight . The eight basic digits of the octal
system are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

DECIMAL – OCTAL CONVERSION

When converting from decimal to octal, we divide the decimal number by eight and note
the remainders after each division.

a. DIVISIONS REMAINDERS
18 / 8 = 2 2
2/8=0 2
Therefore: 1810 = 228

HEXADECIMAL SYSTEM

This system is a combination of the ten numbers , 0 through 9, and a choice of six letters of the
alphabet , which are also treated as numbers. It uses a base, a radix, of 16 and the place values
are the powers of 16.

The letters representing digits 10 through 15 may be the alphabet sequence A through F. Any
other six alphabet could be used equally well, as long as the total adds up to 16 symbols to
represent the 16 possible combinations of 4 bits.

DECIMAL – HEXADECIMAL CONVERSION

a. DIVISION REMAINDERS
58 / 16 = 3 10 (or A)
3 / 16 = 0 3
Therefore: 5810 = 3A16

HEXADECIMAL – DECIMAL CONVERSION

a. 4B616 = 4x162 + 11x161 + 6x160

= 1024 + 176 + 6
= 120610
Therefore: 4B616 = 120610

HEXADECIMAL – BINARY CONVERSION

a. 2C8516 = (?)2
Since: 216 = 00102 816=10002
C16 = 11002 516 =01012
Therefore: 2C8516 = 101100100001012

BINARY – HEXADECIMAL CONVERSION

THE PROGRAMMING CYCLE

Steps in the programming cycle:

1. Defining the problem
2. Planning a solution to the problem
3. Coding the solution
4. Checking out the program by debugging and testing
5. Documentation

DEFINING THE PROBLEM

 The task of making sure what has to be done or what problem has to be solved.
 The programmer must know exactly what the program is supposed to do before
it is written
 All aspects of the program should be clarified during this stage

PLANNING THE SOLUTION

 Involves determining the sequence of processing steps within individual
programs
 The programmer constructs the flow chart to lay-out the program logic.
 Selecting the appropriate programming language is the final step of program
planning.

CODING THE SOLUTION
