Sir Naveed Lecture # 01

Computer is an electronic device that processes information and performs calculations using programs. It represents numbers using binary digits and refers to the central processing unit and internal memory. There are three main types of computers: analog computers which process continuous data, digital computers which use binary digits, and hybrid computers which combine aspects of analog and digital. A program is a set of instructions that a computer follows to perform a task, and programming is the act of writing computer code. Hardware refers to the physical parts of a computer while software allows users to interact with the computer and hardware. There are two main types of software: application software designed for specific tasks, and system software which manages the hardware and acts as an intermediary between users and the computer.

Introduction Of Computer :

Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information.


The term computer is derived from the Latin term ‘computare’, this means
to calculate or programmable machine. Computer can't do anything
without a Program. It represents the decimal numbers through a string of
binary digits. The Word 'Computer' usually refers to the Center Processor
Unit plus Internal memory.

Types Of Computer
∙ Analouge computer
∙ Digital computer
∙ Hybrid computer

Analouge :
An analog computer is a computer which is used to process analog data.
Analog computers store data in a continuous form of physical quantities
and perform calculations with the help of measures.

Digital :
The definition of a digital computer is the most commonly used type of
computer and is used to process information with quantities using digits,
usually using the binary number system.

Hybrid :
A computer that features the best characteristics of the analog computer
and digital computer.

Programming Concept :
∙ Program
∙ programming
∙ programmer

Program :
A program is a set of instructions that a computer follows in order to
perform a particular task.

Setup instraction
specified
Languages

Problem ---> Analysis ---> Algorithm

Programming :
the act of writing computer code, to the act of scheduling television or
radio programs, or behavior that has been instilled.

Programmer :
A computer programmer is a person whose job involves writing programs
for computers.

Hardware :
Hardware refers to the physical elements of a computer. This is also
sometime called the machinery or the equipment of the computer.
Examples of hardware in a computer are the keyboard, the monitor, the
mouse and the central processing unit.

Software :
Software is a collection of instructions that enable the user to interact with
a computer, its hardware, or perform tasks. Without software, most
computers would be useless. Examples of software is VLC , Chrome,
MS-Windows , Unix etc.

Types Of Software :
∙ Application Software
∙ System Software

Application Software :
Application software is specific to the task it is designed for and can be as
simple as a calculator application or as complex as a word processing
application. Examples; Anti-virus, VLC, Chrome etc.

System Software :
It is a base for application software which responsible for managing
hardware.

System software is a intermediator between user and hardware. system


software is also known as Operating System. Examples ; MS-Windows,
UNIX, Linux, Sun Solaris.
