1) A Computer? Characteristics Of Computer ?

COMPUTER(DEFENITION)

• A computer is an electronic device that processes data according to a set of instructions

to produce information.

• It takes the data as an input and processes that data to perform tasks under the

control of a program and produces the output.

2_)What are the characteristics of computer?

Speed: The computer works very fast. The speed of computer is measured in terms of MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) or
BIPS (Billion Instructions Per Second).
For example: A money counting machine counts money faster than man.

Storage: The computer can store a large volume of data and information. The storage capacity of the computer is measured in
terms of Bytes. A group of 8 bits is called a Byte.

Accuracy: The computer generated results are exact and without any mistakes with high rate of consistency. Errors may occur
due to data inconsistency or inaccuracy.

Diligence: Unlike human beings, a computer does not suffer from limitations like tiredness and lack of concentration. It can
work for hours without making any errors. It can do repeated work with same speed and accuracy.

Versatility: Computers are capable of performing any task. Multi-processing features of computer make it quite versatile in
nature. The computer can be adapted to any field easily. It is used for scientific calculations, business processing, for playing
games, teaching, training etc.

Flexibility: Computers can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex operations.
They can also be easily reprogrammed to perform new tasks, making them highly flexible We can do number of things with a
computer. While some are best used for simple business tasks, filing of tasks, others are good for multimedia, gaming and so on.

Cost effectiveness: Computers reduce the amount of paper work and human effort, thereby reducing costs.

Storage capacity: A computer has much more storage capacity than human beings. It can store large amount of data. It can store
any type of data such as images, videos, text, audio and many others.

Automation: Computer is an automatic machine. Automation means ability to perform the given task automatically. Once a
program is given to computer that is stored in computer memory, the program and instruction can control the program execution
without human interaction.

3)Explain Types Of Computer ?


The computers are divided mainly three types on the based on data processed(DATA HANDLING CAPABILITIES)
1. Analog computers
2. Digital computers
3. Hybrid computers
Analog computers:
In Analog Computers, data is represented as continuously varying voltage and operate essentially by measuring rather
counting.As the data is continuously variable, the results obtained are estimated and not exactly repeatable.It can able to perform
multiple tasks simultaneously and also capable to work effectively with the irrational number.
E.g. 1/8 = 0.125 and 1/6=0.1666 Voltage, temperature and pressure are measured using analog devices like voltmeters,
thermometers and barometers.

Digital Computers
The digit computer is a machine based on digital technology which represents information by numerical digit. In Digital
Computers data is represented as discrete units of electrical pulses. The data is measured in quantities represented as either the
‘on’ or ‘off’ state.Therefore, the results obtained from a digital computer are accurate.Virtually all of today’s computers are
based on digital computers.
Hybrid Computers
It combines the good features of both analog & digital computers. It has a speed of analog computer & accuracy of digital
computer. Hybrid Computers accept data in analog form and present output also in digitally.The data however is processed
digitally.Therefore, hybrid computers require analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters for output.

5)WHAT IS SOFTWARE?TYPES OF SOFTWARE?

Software is the programs and routines for a computer or the program material for an electronic device which make it run. An example
of software is Excel or Windows or iTunes. Word processing programs and

Internet browsers are examples of software.The two main categories of software are:

A)System software

B)Aplication software

System software: System software refers to the collection of programs and software components that enable a computer or computing
device to function properly. It acts as an intermediary between the user and the computer hardware, allowing the user to interact with the
hardware and use various applications and programs.

Application software:

Application software is designed to satisfy a particular need of a particular environment. Application software may consist of a single
program or collection of programs.

6)What is Algorithm ?

The word Algorithm means A set of finite rules or instructions to befollowed in calculations or other problem-solving operations.

What are the characteristics of an algorithm?

1)Each instruction should be precise and unambiguous.

2)Each instruction should be executed in a finite time.

3)No instruction should repeat infinitely. This ensures that the algorithm terminates ultimately.

After executing the instructions, the desired results are obtained.

7) Flowchart? Features Of Flowchart? Draw The Diagram And Explain Each One?

A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of
an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a task.
8. What is a pseudocode?

A Pseudocode is defined as a step-by-step description of an algorithm.Pseudocode does not use any programming language in its
representation instead it uses the simple English language text as it is intended for human understanding rather than machine
reading.Pseudocode is the intermediate state between an idea and its implementation(code) in a high-level language.

What are the advantages and limitations of pseudocode?

Advantages of pseudocode:

It allows the designer to focus on main logic without being distracted by programming languages syntax.

Since it is language independent, it can be translated to any computer language code.

It allows designer to express logic in plain natural language.

It is easier to write actual code using pseudocode.

Unlike algorithms, pseudocodes are concise so pseudocodes are more readable and easier to modify.

Disadvantages of pseudocode:

There are no accepted standards for writing pseudocodes and designer use their own style while writing pseudocodes.

Pseudocode cannot be compiled and executed so its correctness cannot be verified by using computers.

printers are output devices that allow you to print information on paper. There are certain types of printers which are described below.
 Impact Printers

 Character Printers

 Line Printers

 Non-Impact Printers

 Laser Printers

 Inkjet Printers

Printer

Impact Printer

Characters are printed on the ribbon, which is subsequently crushed against the paper, in impact printers. The following are the
characteristics of impact printers:

 Exceptionally low consumable cost.

 Quite noisy

 Because of its low cost, it is ideal for large-scale printing.

 To create an image, there is physical contact with the paper.

Character Printers

Character Printer has the capability to print only one character at a time. It is of two types.

 Dot Matrix Printer

 Daisy Wheel

Line Printers

Line Printers are printers that have the capability to print one line at a time. It is of two types.

 Drum Printer

 Chain Printer

Non-Impact Printers

Characters are printed without the need for a ribbon in non-impact printers.Because these printers print a full page at a time, they’re also
known as PagePrinters. The following are the characteristics of non-impact printers:

 Faster

 They don’t make a lot of noise.

 Excellent quality

 Supports a variety of typefaces and character sizes

Laser Printers

Laser Printers use laser lights for producing dots which will produce characterson the page.

Inkjet Printers

Inkjet printers are printers that use spray technology for printing papers. Highquality papers are produced in an Inkjet printer. They also do
color printing.

14)What is Logic Gates ?explain different types of logic gates with diagram and truth trable?

15)What Is Computer Memory?Explain Three Types Of Computer Memory ?

Computer memory is just like the human brain. It is used tostore data/information and instructions. It is a data storage unit or a data storage
device where data is to be processed and instructions required for processing are stored. It can store both the input and output can be stored
here.
cache memory?

It is a type of high-speed semiconductor memory that can help the CPU run faster. Between the CPU and the main memory, it serves as a
buffer. It is used to store the data and programs that the CPU uses the most frequently.

Classified into”

Primary

Secondary

cache

primary memory?

RAM. The term is based on the fact that any storage location can be accessed directly by the processor.

Dynamic RAM. DRAM is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used by the data or program code needed by a computer
processor to function.

Static RAM. SRAM retains data bits in its memory for as long as power is supplied to it. Unlike DRAM, which stores bits in cells
consisting of a capacitor and a transistor, SRAM does not have to be periodically

refreshed.

 D RAM (Dynamic RAM): D RAM uses capacitors and transistors and stores the data as a charge on the capacitors. They contain
thousands of memory cells. It needs refreshing of charge on capacitor

after a few milliseconds. This memory is slower than S RAM.

ROM (Read Only Memory): It is a non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory stores information even when there is a power supply
failed/ interrupted/stopped. ROM is used to store information that is used to

operate the system. As its name refers to read-only memory, we can only read the programs and data that is stored on it.

 PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory): This read-only memory is modifiable once by the user. The user purchases a blank
PROM and uses a PROM program to put the required contents into the PROM. Its content can’t be erased once written.

 EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only

Memory): EPROM is an extension to PROM where you can erase the content of ROM by exposing it to Ultraviolet rays for nearly 40
minutes.

 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only

Memory): Here the written contents can be erased electrically. You can delete and reprogramme EEPROM up to 10,000 times.

secondary memory? Give example.

It is also known as auxiliary memory and backup memory. It is a nonvolatile memory and used to store a large amount of data or
information.The data or information stored in secondary memory is permanent, and it

is slower than primary memory. A CPU cannot access secondary memory directly. The data/information from the auxiliary memory is first
transferred to the main memory, and then the CPU can access it.

Magnetic Tape, Magnetic Disk

Floppy Disk, Hard Disk, Compact Disk.

Hard Disk: A hard disk is a part of a unit called a hard disk drive. It is used to storing a large amount of data. Hard disks or hard disk drives
come in different storage capacities.(like 256 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2

TB, etc.).

Floppy Disk: A floppy disk consists of a magnetic disc in a square plastic case. It is used to store data and to transfer data from one device
to another device. Floppy disks are available in two sizes (a) Size: 3.5 inches, the Storage capacity of 1.44 MB (b) Size: 5.25 inches, the
Storage capacity of 1.2 MB. To use a floppy disk, our computer needs to have a floppy disk drive. This storage device becomes obsolete
now and has been replaced by CDs, DVDs, and flash drives.

Compact Disc: A Compact Disc (CD) is a commonly used secondary storage device. It contains tracks and sectors on its surface. Its shape
is circular and is made up of polycarbonate plastic. The storage capacity ofCD is up to 700 MB of data.
16)Differentiate Between Primary And Secondary Memory ?

17)difference between Volatile And Non Volatile Memory ?

Volatile memory is used to store information based on power supply. If the power supply is off, all the data and information on this memory
will be lost. For example, RAM (Random Access Memory).

non-volatile memory is used to store information even when the power supply is off. For example, ROM (Read Only Memory).

18)Explain Any Five Input Devices?

Input device enables the user to send data, information, or control signals

to a computer.

Some of the popular input devices are:

1. Keyboard

2. Mouse

3. Scanner

4. Joystick

12. Biometric Devices

Keyboard.

The keyboard is a basic input device that is used to enter data into a computer or any other electronic device by pressing keys. It has
different sets of keys for letters, numbers, characters, and functions. Keyboards are connected to a computer through USB or a Bluetooth
device for wireless
communication.

Types of keyboards: There can be different types of keyboards based on the region and language used. Some of the common types of
keyboards are as follows:

QWERTY Keyboard:

It is the most commonly used keyboard with computers in modern times. It is named after the first six letters of the top row of buttons and is
even popular in countries that do not use Latin-based alphabet. It is so popular that some people think that it is the only type of keyboard to
use with

computers as an input device.

AZERTY Keyboard:

It is considered the standard French keyboard. It is developed in France as an alternative layout to the QWERTY layout and is mainly used
in France and other European countries. Some countries have manufactured their own versions of AZERTY.

DVORAK Keyboard:

This type of keyboard layout was developed to increase the typing speed byreducing the finger movement while typing. The most frequently
used letters are kept in a home row to improve typing.

mouse.

The mouse is a hand-held input device which is used to move cursor or pointer across the screen. It is designed to be used on a flat surface
and generally has left and right button and a scroll wheel between them. Laptop computers come with a touchpad that works as a mouse.

It lets you control the movement of cursor or pointer by moving your finger over the touchpad.

Some mouse comes with integrated features such as extra buttons to perform different buttons.

The mouse was invented by Douglas C. Engelbart in 1963.

Trackball Mouse:

It is a stationary input device that has ball mechanism to move the pointer or cursor on the screen.

The ball is half inserted in the device and can be easily rolled with finger, thumb or the palm to move the pointer on the screen. The device
has sensor to detect the rotation of ball.

Mechanical Mouse:

It has a system of a ball and several rollers to track its movement. It is a corded type of mouse.

Optical Mouse:

An optical mouse uses optical electronics to track its movement. It is more reliable than a mechanical mouse and also requires less
maintenance.

Cordless or Wireless Mouse:

As the name suggests, this type of mouse lacks cable and uses wireless technology such as IrDA (infrared) or radio (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) to
control the movement of the cursor.

Scanner?

A computer scanner is a digitizer, a type of input device. It takes real-world objects (e.g., a document or picture) and converts them to digital
information for a computer to store or manipulate. A scanner only sends information to the computer and cannot receive information from
the

computer like a printer (an output device).

MICR?

Magnetic ink character recognition is the string of characters at the bottom

left of a personal check that includes the account, routing, and check

numbers.

MICR numbers are designed to be readable by both individuals and sorting

equipment.

They can't be faked or copied, due to the use of magnetic ink and unique
fonts.

The benefits of the technology include enhanced security against fraud and

mechanization of check processing.

8. What is OMR?

Short for optical mark reading or optical mark recognition, OMR is gathering information from human beings by recognizing marks on
a document. OMR is accomplished using a hardware device (scanner) that detects a reflection or limited light transmittance on or through a
piece of

paper. OMR allows the processing of hundreds or thousands of documents per hour. For example, students may recall taking tests or surveys
where they filled in bubbles on paper with a pencil. Once the form had been completed, a teacher or teacher's assistant would feed the cards
into a system that grades or gathers information from them.

19)Explain Any Five Output Devices ?

Output Devices are the devices that show us the result after giving the input toa computer system. Output can be of many different forms
like image, graphic audio, video, etc.

Example: Monitor

Printer

Television

Speakers

monitors.

Monitors, also known as Visual Display Units (VDUs), are a computer’sprimary output device. It creates images by arranging small dots,
known as pixels, in a rectangular pattern. The amount of pixels determines the image’s sharpness.

The two kinds of viewing screens used for monitors are described below.

 Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) Monitor: Pixels are minuscule visual elements that make up a CRT display. The higher the image quality or
resolution, the smaller the pixels.

 Flat-Panel Display Monitor: In comparison to the CRT, a flat-panel display is a type of video display with less volume, weight, and
power consumption. They can be hung on the wall or worn on the wrist. Flat-panel displays are currently used in calculators, video games,
monitors,laptop computers, and graphical displays.
