Analog Computer is a computing device that works
on continuous range of values . The analog
computers give approximate results.
It generally deals with physical variables such as
voltage, pressure, temperature, speed, etc.
e.g: Voltmeters, Speedometers, Thermometer,
Analogue Clock

Digital Computer operates on digital data such as


numbers. It uses binary number system in which
there are only two digits 0 and 1.
e.g: Calculator, Digital Clock.
Analogue vs Digital Computers

Hybrid Computer:
This computer combines the features of both analog and digital computers.
They handle data in both quantities and variable.
