Definition

 A computer is an operating machine from which we can do our tasks by giving

command to it.
 A computer is a programmable device that stores, retrieves, and processes data. The term
"computer" was originally given to humans (human computers) who performed numerical
calculations using mechanical calculators, such as the abacus and slide rule.
 The term was later given to mechanical devices as they began replacing human computers.
Today's computers are electronic devices that accept data (input), process that data, produce
output, and store (storage) the results (IPOS

Features of Computers

 Speed - The computers in the past did not have very fast speed. But nowadays due to the
Invention of the microprocessor.
1. It has been very fast and performs billions of calculations within a fraction of second-
most modern computers perform tasks in a picosecond.
2. 1/1012 the processing speed computer is measured in the Unit of Hertz such as hertz
(Hz), kilohertz (kHz), Megahertz (MHz), etc.
 Storage capacity-
A modern commuter can store a large amount of data. Information and program in it. Any data
or information can be retrieved at any time. Storage capacity in computers is measured in the
following Units.

 Accuracy-
Accuracy means correctness. The computer never does any mistakes if the instruction, input
data, and hardware devices are correct It always performs each and every task with 100%
accuracy. But sometimes we get the phrase GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) is true to
computers.

 Diligence-
Unlike human beings, the computer never feels tired and bored to do the same task repeatedly.
The computer can perform the same task with the same speed and accuracy for a long time if it
is provided with a suitable environment and correct instruction.
 Versatility-
A modern computer can perform various types of jobs efficiently. The same computer can be
used in banks, offices, shopping centers, cyber, schools, homes, etc, for doing different types of
tasks.
 Automatic-
Being a programmable machine, a modern computer can be programmed in such as way that it
can perform a series of tasks automatically after it has been started Modern digital computer
does not need a human operator to give different types of commands.

 Word length-
Word length or word size refers to the number of bits that the CPU can process in parallel at one
time. Currently used word lengths are 32, 64, or higher bits word length in the measure of the
computing power of a computer the longer the word length the more powerful the computer
becomes.

Types of computers are as follows:

Hybrid Computers

Tablets and Smart Phones

Mainframe Computers

Types of computers Pesonal Computers

Digital Computers

Mini Computers

Super Computers

Components Of Computers

IT Skills Assessment

1. Input Unit:

 The input unit consists of input devices that are attached to the computer. These devices take
input and convert it into binary language that the computer understands. Some of the common
input devices are keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner etc.
 The Input Unit is formed by attaching one or more input devices to a computer.
 A user input data and instructions through input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, etc.
 The input unit is used to provide data to the processor for further processing.

2. Central Processing Unit:

 Once the information is entered into the computer by the input device, the processor processes
it. The CPU is called the brain of the computer because it is the control centre of the computer.

 It first fetches instructions from memory and then interprets them so as to know what is to be
done.
 If required, data is fetched from memory or input device. Thereafter CPU executes or performs
the required computation, and then either stores the output or displays it on the output device.
 The CPU has three main components, which are responsible for different functions: Arithmetic
Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU) and Memory registers

3. Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU):

The ALU, as its name suggests performs mathematical calculations and takes logical decisions.
Arithmetic calculations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Logical decisions
involve the comparison of two data items to see which one is larger or smaller or equal.

Arithmetic Logical Unit is the main component of the CPU

It is the fundamental building block of the CPU.
Arithmetic and Logical Unit is a digital circuit that is used to perform arithmetic and logical operations.
B. Control Unit: The Control unit coordinates and controls the data flow in and out of the CPU, and
also controls all the operations of ALU, memory registers and also input/output units. It is also
responsible for carrying out all the instructions stored in the program. It decodes the fetched instruction,
interprets it and sends control signals to input/output devices until the required operation is done
properly by ALU and memory.

4. Control Unit

IT Skills Assessment

The Control Unit is a component of the central processing unit of a computer that directs the operation
of the processor.
It instructs the computer’s memory, arithmetic and logic unit, and input and output devices on how to
respond to the processor’s instructions.
In order to execute the instructions, the components of a computer receive signals from the control unit.
It is also called the central nervous system or brain of the computer.
C. Memory Registers: A register is a temporary unit of memory in the CPU. These are used to store
the data, which is directly used by the processor. Registers can be of different sizes(16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit
and so on) and each register inside the CPU has a specific function, like storing data, storing an
instruction, storing address of a location in memory etc. The user registers can be used by an assembly
language programmer for storing operands, intermediate results etc. Accumulator (ACC) is the main
register in the ALU and contains one of the operands of an operation to be performed in the ALU.

Memory attached to the CPU is used for the storage of data and instructions, and is called internal
memory The internal memory is divided into many storage locations, each of which can store data or
instructions. Each memory location is of the same size and has an address. With the help of the address,
the computer can read any memory location easily without having to search the entire memory. When a
program is executed, its data is copied to the internal memory and stored in the memory till the end of
the execution. The internal memory is also called the Primary memory or Main memory. This memory
is also called RAM, i.e., Random Access Memory. The time of access of data is independent of its
location in memory, therefore, this memory is also called Random Access memory (RAM).

5. Memory Unit
Memory Unit is the primary storage of the computer.
It stores both data and instructions.
Data and instructions are stored permanently in this unit so that they are available whenever required.

6. Output Unit :
The output unit consists of output devices that are attached to the computer. It converts the binary data
coming from the CPU to human understandable form. The common output devices are monitor, printer,
plotter, etc.

The output unit displays or prints the processed data in a user-friendly format.
The output unit is formed by attaching the output devices of a computer.
The output unit accepts the information from the CPU and displays it in a user-readable form.
