Question 1.

a. Type the passage below, font size 12 point, & save it as CompSystem. (4 Marks)

The Four Operations of a Computer System


Input
Home computers are microcomputers. Input is supplied to the microcomputer with the use of a keyboard, a
mouse, or another input device. These input devices may be called peripheral devices.
Processing
Processing is done inside the computer in an area called the central processing unit (CPU). Processing is the
conversion of input to output.
Storage
Storage refers to holding information somewhere. RAM, Random Access Memory, is short-term memory. It is
volatile memory because the memory is automatically "erased" when the power is turned off or interrupted. The
RAM memory is located inside the computer case on the motherboard. A motherboard is not the keyboard. The
keyboard is what you type with. A motherboard holds RAM memory, electronic circuits and other computer
parts including the central processing unit. ROM, Read-Only-Memory, is not volatile meaning the memory
is still there when power is interrupted or turned off. When the computer is turned back on again, ROM memory
is still in storage on the internal hard disk.
Output
Output is the result of a computer process. Output may be viewed on a monitor screen, heard through speakers,
printed on printers, and so forth. Output devices may be considered hardware and are also considered to be
peripheral devices.
