Aim : To Study Computer System with its peripherals
Theory :
# Definition
It is an Electronic device / machine which accepts data , Processos over
it & produces information ( processed data) .
Or
It is a programmable machine / device which has the ability to store, retrieve, and
process data.
# Basic Components
i) It has following Basic components & they are :
i)Input unit,ii) Processing unit & Memory unit, iii) output unit.
i)Input unit
It is responsible to accept the data given by the user.
ii) Processing unit
It is responsible to process the input data into information (Processed data) .
Memory unit
It is responsible to store / hold data during processing .
iii) Output unit
It is responsible to display inforamtion.

Input Unit :
i) This unit consists of input devices primarily Keyboard(GUI + CUI)& Mouse (GUI)
which takes data from user & converts into binary form.
Where, GUI: Graphical User Interface
CUI : Command / Character User Interface
ii) Example : Keyborad , Mouse , MicroPhone , Scanner & Light pen.
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
It is brain of computer & consists of :
i) Control unit :
Controls all the activities & operation of computer
which includes controlling input/output, Memory & ALU.
ii) ALU:
Arithmetic & Logical Unit controls operations calculative activity.
such + , - , / , * & % (modulus) as well as && , || , ! , = = , >, < , >= , <= , != & so
on.
# Memory Unit:
It is used store data as well as information during & after
processing .
# Output unit:
It consists of output devices primarily Console (monitor/
terminal ), printer & projector to display information.
#Conclusion :
Here, we studied Computer System with its peripherals.
