Introduction to Computer
Topic In this lesson you will learn what is Computer
Objective component & Classification.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SYSTEM


The word computer is derived from a word Compute which means “To Calculate”. So, simply we can
say.
“Computer is a calculating device.”
In an other definition we say.
“Computer is a device that converts data into information according to
given instructions.”
Components of Computer
Basically, a computer consists of four components
i. Hardware: The physical or tangible parts of the computer called hardware. Like Monitor,
Keyboard, CPU, Mouse etc. are the examples of the Hardware.
ii. Software: The set of instructions, that tells the computer, what to do and how to do.
iii. Data: A collection of raw facts and figures is called data, which can include text, numbers,
images, audios and videos etc.
iv. User: Computer cannot do any without its operator.
Information
The processed form of data is called information. Information conveys meaning and is useful to one or
more people..
Classification of Computers (By Size & speed)
1. Micro or Personal Computers
A personal computer (PC) is a computer that can perform all of its inputs, processing, outputs
and storage activities by itself. A personal computer contains a processor, memory, and one or more
input, output, and storage device.

2
2. Mini or Midrange Computers
It is larger and more powerful computers than personal computers. It can execute five million
instructions per second. It generally consists of two or more processors. It is more reliable than desktop
computer. Mini computers were introduced in 1960s. Mini computers are also called midrange
computers. Mini computers are used in small companies to provide centralized store of information.

3. Mainframe Computers
A mainframe is a large computer in term of price, power and speed. It consists of multiple
processors. It is specially designed to perform multiple intensive
tasks for multiple users simultaneously. It was introduced in
1970s. A typical mainframe computer can execute 16 million
instructions per second.
It is used in large organizations, such as banks, Universities and
Multinational companies etc.

4. Super Computers
Super computer is the biggest in size, most expensive in price and
Powerful than any other computer. It can process trillions of instructions
in one second. The modern super computer consists of thousands of
microprocessors.
Super computers are used in weather forecasting, weapon design,
preparing models of chemical and biological system, mapping the surface
of the planets and studying the neural network of the brain.

Lesson Day 3 Date


Introduction to Parts of CPU
Topic In this lesson you will know about the parts of
CPU

Parts of CPU:
The CPU consists on 2 parts they are CU and ALU.

CU: CU stands for Control Unit. It controls all hardware and Software of computer. It is also
responsible to convert all data into 0 & 1.

ALU: ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logical Unit. It performs all arithmetic (+, -, *, /) comparison
(<,>, =) and Logical operation (OR, AND, NOR, ECT) in computer.
Storage:
Storage refers to the media either data are stored temporarily or permanently. There are two main types
of storage.
1. Primary Storage or Main Memory
2. Secondary Storage

1: Primary Storage Devices: Primary storage (Also known as Main Memory) is directly accessible to
the CPU. The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them. Two main primary
storage devices are.
ROM (Read Only Memory): This memory is used to store data / Instruction in computer that is
helpful in Booting process of the computer. Booting Process starts when computer is switch on and

6
ends until operating system loaded. In this process computer checks all its hardware and load operating
system. Process to check hardware is called POST (Power On Self Test). Rom is non volatile means
data in it will not disturb due to any light failure.

RAM (Random Access Memory). This


memory work as bridge between different
devices of computer and used to speed up
data transferring between devices and
processor. It is volatile means it depends on light. If any light failure occurs the data in RAM will be
erased / washed out.
SECONDARY STORAGE:
It has three types
 Magnetic Disk
 Magnetic Tape
 Optical Disks
Magnetic Disk
It is most widely used storage media for all type of computer. A magnetic disk is a thin circular
metal plate or platter coated with magnetic material. Information can be record on or read from the
magnetic surface. Magnetic disk is a random access storage media.

Types of Magnetic Disk


There are the following types of the magnetic disk
i. Hard Disk
ii. Floppy Disk
iii. Zip Disk
iv. USB flash Drive

Magnetic Tape (Sequential Access)


7
It is an example of old type storage media to store large amount of data permanently. Magnetic
Tape consists of a thin ribbon of plastic. The tap is coated with magnetic material. The process of
reading or writing of data on the tape is very slow. In magnetic tape, data can only be accessed
sequentially. It is mostly used for taking backup of data.

Optical Drives
CD ROM
CD ROM is used to read CD only.
Combo Drive
Combo drive has ability to perform following tasks:
1. Read and write CD (Compact Disc)
2. Read DVD

Super Drive
Super drive has ability to perform following tasks:
1. Read and write CD ( Compact Disc)
2. Read and write DVD (Digital Versatile disc)
Optical Disks
Optical disk issued laser technology to read or write information.
LASER Stands for Light Amplification through Laser beam is used to make tiny
holes on the surface of the disk.
Compact Disk (CD )
CD is the most popular optical medium. It can hold 650 MB to 800 MB of data. The data on the
CD cannot be erased like magnetic diskettes.
DVD
DVD, also known as "Digital Versatile Disc" or "Digital Video Disc",
is an optical disc storage media format. Its main uses are video and data storage.
DVDs are of the same dimensions as compact discs (CDs), but store more than
six times as much data

Storage Capacity
1 Byte 23 or 8 bits
1 Kilo Byte (KB) 210 or 1024 Bytes
1 Million (Mega) Byte (MB) 220 or 1024 Kilo Bytes

Use of General Tools of Windows Seven


Ms Paint

13
Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been
included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft
Paint. The first version of Paint was introduced with the first version of Windows, Windows 1.0. It
was later renamed to Paintbrush in Windows 3.0, but the name was changed back to Paint in Windows
95 and later.
In Windows Seven, the toolbar icons and default colour palette have been changed. Also,
an increased number of undo levels to 10 times, a zoom slider, and a crop function have
been added. This version saves as .jpg by default, which can dramatically impact the
overall quality of an image, especially after multiple saves of the file due to its method of
compression.

Wordpad
WordPad is a basic word processor that is included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows
from Windows 95 upwards. It is more advanced than Notepad. WordPad natively supports the Rich Text
Format (RTF).
WordPad can format and print text, but lacks intermediate features such as a spell checker, thesaurus,
and support for tables. As such, it is suitable for writing letters or short pieces, but underpowered for
work that relies heavily on graphics or longer works such as books.
In Windows Seven, support for reading Microsoft Word DOC files was removed because of the
incorrect rendering and formatting problems.

Introduction
Microsoft Excel is an excellent program for organizing, formatting, and calculating numeric data. Excel
displays data in a row-and-column format, with gridlines between the rows and columns, similar to
accounting ledger books or graph paper.
Excel run by using any of three methods that use to run Microsoft Word.
When you start Excel, a blank workbook, titled Book1, opens by default.
Worksheets
Microsoft Excel consists of worksheets. Each worksheet contains columns and rows. The columns are
lettered A to Z and then continuing with AA, AB, AC and so on; the rows are numbered 1 to 1,048,576.
The number of columns and rows you can have in a worksheet is limited by your computer memory and
your system resources.

Lesson Day 22 Date:

Topic Working with Formula


In this lesson you will know how can add a
Objective formula in a worksheet

Entering Formula in Worksheet


Formula Building
Excel allows you to use formulas to calculate and analyze data in your worksheet. A formula always
begins with an equal sign (=), and includes cell references, and some type of mathematical operator.
For example, the formula =C4+ C5 takes the value in C4 and adds it to C5.
Operators in Formula
Excel uses arithmetic operators in formulas to perform mathematical calculations. Arithmetic
Operators include the addition (+), Subtraction (-) , Multiplication (*), division (/), Percent (%), and
exponent (^) symbols.
You can use Logical operators, which return values of TRUE or FALSE, in formulas to compare
two values.
Comparison and Logical Operators include the greater than (>), less than (<), equal to (=), greater
then or equal to (>=), less than or equal to (<=), and not equal
Relative and Absolute Cell References
Excel uses two types of cell references to create formulas. Each has its own purpose. Read on to
determine which type of cell reference to use for your formula.
Relative Cell References
This is the most widely used type of cell reference in formulas. Relative cell references are basic cell
references that adjust and change when copied or when using AutoFill.
Example:
=SUM(B5:B8), as shown below, changes to =SUM(C5:C8) when copied across to the next cell.

65
Absolute Cell References
Situations arise in which the cell reference must remain the same when copied or when using
AutoFill. Dollar signs are used to hold a column and/or row reference constant.
Example:
In the example below, when calculating commissions for sales staff, you would not want cell B10 to
change when copying the formula down. You want both the column and the row to remain the same
to refer to that exact cell. By using $B$10 in the formula, neither changes when copied.

Summary of absolute cell reference uses:


Allows the row reference to change,
$A1
but not the column reference.
Allows the column reference to
A$1
change, but not the row reference.
Allows neither the column nor the row
$A$1
reference to change.
There is a shortcut for placing absolute cell references in your formulas!
When you are typing your formula, after you type a cell reference - press the F4 key. Excel
automatically makes the cell reference absolute! By continuing to press F4, Excel will cycle through
all of the absolute reference possibilities. For example, in the first absolute cell reference formula in
this example=B4*$B$10, I could have typed, =B4*B10, then pressed the F4 key to change B10 to
$B$10. Continuing to press F4 would have resulted in B$10, then $B10, and finally B10. Pressing
F4 changes only the cell reference directly to the left of your insertion point.

some commonly used Functions


There are most recently or commonly used functions are as followings.

Function Name Syntax Purpose


Sum =Sum(range) For addition of cells or values
Product =product(range) For multiplication of cells / values
Average =average(range) For average of cells or values
Max =max(range) For Maximum value of range
Min =min(range For minimum value of range
Count =count(range) For counting of numeric values
Counta =counta(range) Count the numbers of cells that are not
empty.
Countblank =countblank(range) Count the empty cells in the range
66
Countif =countif(range, criteria) Count the number of cells within a
range that meet the condition.
Today =today() Shows the today date
Now() =now() Shows the current date with time
Days360 =days360(St_date,En_date) Return the number of days between
two dates.
Day =day(date) Return the day from the date
Month =month(date) Return the month from the date

Power =power(value,power) Calculate the result of number raised


powers
Sumif =sumif(range, criteria, adds all numbers in a range of cells,
sum_range) based on a given criteria.
IF If(condition, The IF function is used to make
value_if_ture, decisions.
value_if_false)

Lesson Day 23 Date:


Using IF Function, Sorting a Table
Topic In this lesson you will learn How to use IF
Objective Function & How to Sort a Table.
IF Function
The IF function is used to make decisions. It returns one value if a specified condition evaluates to
TRUE and another value if it evaluates to FALSE. For example, you can display a massage “Pass” if
marks are more than 40 or “Fail” otherwise. The syntax for the IF function is:
If(condition, value_if_ture, value_if_false)
1. Condition is the value to be tested.
2. Value_if_true is the value that is returned if conditiohn evaluates to TRUE.
3. Value_if _false is the value that is returned if condition evaluates top FALSE.
1. Insert marks of the student in A1.

2. Type IF(A1>40,”Pass”,”Fail”) in B1
3. Press ENTER
4.
If the value of A1 is more than 40, “Pass” will be displayed in B1. Otherwise “Fail” will
be displayed

Sorting Data
The Sort command arranges worksheet data by text (i.e., A to Z, Z to A), numbers (i.e., smallest to
largest, largest to smallest), dates, or times (oldest to newest, newest to oldest). This document shows
you how to sort your Excel 2007 worksheet data.

Working with Conditional Formatting


Conditional formatting rules allow you to format cells depending on how their data relates to other
data.
Applying Preformatted Rules
Using preformatted rules is a quick way to apply conditional formatting to your worksheet.
Applying Cell Highlighting
You can apply highlighting to cells if they satisfy criteria that you set. The criteria can be number-
based (e.g., greater than, less than, equal to), text-based (e.g., text contains, date occurring), or both
(e.g., duplicate values).
1. Select the range of cells to be formatted
2. From the Home command tab, in the Styles group, click CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
