Output device
With the help of output device result is displayed.
CPU
1. It is also called Brain of computer.
2. It is also known as processor.
3. Speed of CPU measured in Gigahertz (1GB/SEC) or Megahertz(1MB/SEC).
Components of CPU :-
1. MU (Memory unit)
2. CU (Control unit)
3. ALU (Airthmetical and Logical unit)
Memory unit (MU)
In this unit we can store data and instruction.
Control unit (CU)
Control unit work like a ‘traffic police’.
It controls and manages all the working part of the Computer system.
Airthmetical and logical unit (ALU)
This unit performs all the arithmetical operation like-
1. Addition (+)
2. Substraction (-)
3. Multiplication (x)
4. Divison (/)
It is also perform logical operation like findings the <,>---------so on.

What is hardware?
= All the physical parts of the computer system that we can touch or feel is called
hardware.
Ex = Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, Speaker, Cpu, Scanner.
What is software?
= Software is a collection of set of instruction and data is called software.
Software cannot be touched.
Ex = Game, Ms excel, Ms paint.
They are three types of Software :--
1. Application software
2. System software
3. Utlity software
Application software --- The software that helps to you to do specific task is
called application software.
Ex = Ms excel, Ms paint.
System software --- Controls and manage the operation of computer hardware.
Ex = Operating system (windows, Android )
Utlity software --- Helps to manage maintain and control the computer system.
Ex = Antivirus.
Memory --- It is a storage device that is use to store data/information.
Different types of Memory :--
There are four types of Memory.
1. Register
2. Cache
3. Primary
4. Secondary
Register --- It is located inside the cpu.
Size of Register is small.
It is very fast.
Its cost is very high.
Cache --- Cache memory is the smallest memory but bigger than register.
It is also fast but slower than register.
It acts as a buffer between the Cpu and primary memory.
Its cost is high but lower than register.
Primary memory --- It is also known as main memory of the Computer.
It contains data or instructions on which Computer is
Currently working.
Data is lost then the power supply switched off.
It is also called volatile memory.
Secondary memory --- It is also known as external memory.
Data is not lost then the power supply switched off.
It is called non volatile memory.
Memory unit
1. 1 Nibble ---4 bits
2. 1 Byte --- 8 bits
3. 1 KB --- 1024 bytes
4. 1 MB --- 1024 KB
5. 1 GB --- 1024 MB
6. 1 TB --- 1024 GB

PRIMARY SECONDARY

It is also known as Main memory. It is also known as External memory.
