COMPUTER HARDWARE
1 What comprises this piece of equipment
called a computer?
COMPUTER HARDWARE
Central Processing Unit
(CPU)
Can be considered as the
brain of the computer from
which most of the
processing is done. Composed of the following:
⬥ Arithmetic-Logic Unit (ALU)
⬥ Main Memory
⬥ Control Unit

Storage Devices
PRIMARY STORAGE SECONDARY STORAGE
Random Access Memory Stores data of the installed
(RAM) is responsible for programs as well as files
storing volatile data of the which are then retrieved for
programs and processes later use.
that are in active use. E.g. HDD, SSD

5
Input Devices
Consists of devices which
are used to input/enter
data into the computer
system. This includes the
keyboards, pointing
devices, graphics tablets,
microphones, joysticks,
scanners, sensors etc.

6
Output Devices Consists of devices that transmits the computer output to the users.
These includes the monitor, projectors, speakers, printers and other
devices that react to a computer system.

1 What is a program?
What is computer programming?
What about so ware?
PROGRAM
A set of instructions that tell the computer exactly
what to do. These instructions are coded by a
programmer which are interpreted by the computer
to perform certain actions (such as computations).
These actions may result in outputs which includes
information displayed on the screen or even
mechanical actuations done by devices connected
to the computer.
10
PROGRAMMING
The act of writing a computer program with the
intention of making the computer perform certain
repetitive tasks.

11
SOFTWARE
A so ware is a collection of programs and data that
are designed to perform in cohesion with each
other for a common goal.

12
Two Types of Software
Application So ware System So ware
The types of so ware the The so ware that performs
user directly interacts with its job behind the scene.
E.g. Operating System, and
Device Drivers

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
A programming language is a vocabulary and set of
grammatical rules for instructing a computer or
computing device to perform specific tasks.

Compiled vs. Interpreted vs. Hybrid
Computer Programming Languages can also be
classified based on how the program is translated
by the computer.
Interpreted Languages - translates programs on-the-go; typically
executes slower than compiled.
Compiled Languages - performs a compilation process which
converts program code into machine language before it is
executed.
Hybrid Languages - compiles into an intermediate language or
(IL) and then interpreted to execute. 17

Everybody in this country
should learn how to program
a computer, because it
teaches you how to think
