Define Data. Discuss the different types of Data.

Data: Data is the plural form of Latin word “Datum” which means “something given”.
The collection of Facts and Figure is called data. OR Anything in raw form is called data. Data
may consist of numbers, characters, symbols or sound. Data is collected to meet some
requirement.

Example: An example is a collection of names of students on admission form, their address


and subject marks.

Types of Data:
There are three types of data to be enter in the computer
1. Alphabetic Data Capital letters from A-Z, and small letters from A-Z.

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 2
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

2. Numeric Data Decimal numbers from 0-9, decimal point notation.


3. Alphanumeric Data Alphabetic, numeric and special characters/symbols

Information: The meaningful form of data is called information. OR to organize the data in
meaningful form upon which people take necessary decision is called information.
We explain information with the help of following diagram.

Data Process Information

de

Entity: Anything which we want to keep information about it.

Example: student, Teacher, room, Fans etc.

Attributes: The property of entity/field name is called Attributes.

Example: Name, age, gender, blood group, Date of birth etc.

Record: A combination of attribute/field containing data about person, item etc.

Example: Name and address and date of birth.

Table: A collection or group of records is called Table.

Example: class 11 AB students’ details

Database: A collection of tables is called database.

Primary key: The attribute that can uniquely identify the record in database.

Define Data Processing and types of Data Processing?

Data Processing: The transformation of data into more useful form is called data processing.
OR
The series of actions and operations that convert data into useful information is called data
processing.

Example: A shopkeeper apply different calculation on data to know his daily expenses and
profit and the process of applying different calculation on data is called data processing.

Types of Data processing

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 3
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

1. Manual Data Processing


2. Mechanical Data processing
3. Electronic Data processing

1.Manual Data Processing (MDP): In manual data processing, every thing is done by
hands and no machine is used . This type of data processing was used before the invention of
computers and other machines like calculators. But some small organizations may still use this
type data processing.

Example: A bookseller runs his shop. During the day, he sells different books and gets the
price of books from customers. He stores the records of all transactions as data in a register,
this is manual data processing.

2.Mechanical data processing: In mechanical data processing, different calculation and


processing is performed with mechanical machines like calculators. The use of mechanical
machines makes data processing easier and faster.

Example: If we use calculator instead of just pen and paper , the process is become very easy
and will take very less time , this is mechanical data processing .

4.Electronic Data Processing (EDP): It’s also called computer-based data processing
system. In EDP, computer and its program (MS word, MS Excel etc.) , network of computers and
printer are used for data processing . EDP takes less time than other type of data processing
techniques. The information of EDP is more accurate, reliable and fast.

Example: Data processing by MS word, MS Office and Printer etc.

Discuss Data Processing Life Cycle / Operations Computers

Data Processing life Cycle: The collection of steps to required to convert data into
information is called Data Processing Cycle. Different steps of data processing life cycle is an
follow
1. Input
2. Processing
3. Output
4. Storage

1.Input: In this step the collected data is given to the computer as input for processing.
2.Processing: In this step, all type of required processing is applied on the stored data.
Different calculation and functions are used to convert the data into the required information

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 4
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

3.Output: The basic purpose of data processing is to generate new information from the data.
In this step the processed data is displayed to the user. we can see this information on monitor
or printer.

4.Storage: In this step, the information is stored in the computer for future use. This step is
optional.

Computer Definition: The word “computer” is derived from Latin word “Comptutare” which
means to compute. Therefore, computer is a machine that can compute.
Computer is an electronic device which is capable to receive, process, store, analyze the data
and can provide results according to our instructions.
OR
A computer is an electronic device that can transmit, store ana manipulate information or data
which can be numeric or character type.

IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERS:
The word computer is not new to us. Everyone around us heard about it, even if they haven't
used it. Today's world is world of computers, or we can say that this is computer age, because
computers are playing a role of growing importance in all our lives. Less than fifty years back
there was no computer, and nobody knew about it. Since then, there have been rapid charges
made in the computer technology, which continues to progress.
There are different opinions or images about computers in our mind. Some of us are very happy
with it when it performs a given complex task in a very short period or does calculations very
quickly and accurately. Others, however, feel very bad when during peak hours, the system
suddenly gets stuck or shuts down.
Inspire of all these concepts, it is true that computers are useful to a wide range of people
because they can serve many purposes. Let us see, how computers have revolutionized the
following fields of life.

Computers in the Offices:


In many offices computers are used for word processing instead of using typewriters. The
keypunch operators or secretaries type the letter, report or document. Once changes are made
in the existing document, store in the computer instead of retyping the whole thing all over
again. The printer attached with the computer can immediately produce as many copies of the
letter as required. Managerial staff can make spread sheets and graphical images on the
computer while accounts staff uses it for bookkeeping and hence manages office accounts and

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 5
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

finances. These computers are used as personal computers as well as can be linked up through
network to improve the efficiency.

Computers in the Banks:


Banks keep most of their records and data on computers. Bank accounts are maintained on
computer to avoid duplication or any chance of error. The cheques are read by MICR (Magnetic
Ink Character Reader, a device used to allow the data on cheques to be read by machines). The
numbers and special characters along the bottom of each cheque are printed in a magnetized
ink so they can be read by MICR. In this way, computers are used to keep track of customers'
accounts, deposits, withdrawals, loan interest etc. It also helps in transactions of accounts from
one bank to another even if the banks are not located in the same city

Computers in the Industries:


Computers are used to control manufacturing systems and continuous running of the
machinery. These are also helpful in monitoring temperature and pressure measurements
needed in the manufacturing process. In many industries computers are used in the form of
robots (a computer controlled mechanical device). Many products are made by robots. These
robots often have one or more arms, which can move like human arms. The movements of the
arm are controlled by the programs stored in the computer and thus perform such tasks that
are difficult and dangerous for human beings to perform such as automobile assembly line
work. Robots can work in intense heat or in a temperature below 0°C.

Computers in Education:
Computers are used in schools in many ways. They are used to help Montessori children learn
different skills such as to distinguish between shapes, colors etc. The young children learn how
to read and write. College students can take advantage of making graphs and charts and do
calculations of their mathematical and scientific assignments.

Computer Simulation for Training:


Computer models can be used to train people such as pilots. A working model of an aero plane
cockpit is built, with a large screen in front of it. On the screen a computer shows picture of the
view that a pilot would see from a real cockpit. Simulation techniques are used to teach
everything from piloting an aero plane, learn safety procedures in an oil company, bomb
making, temperature and pressure constraints in natural gas pipelining, train health care
professionals to running a nuclear plant.

Computer Aided Design (CAD):


Computers are proved to be an assisting machine or designing tool for engineers, architects and
designers to perform their large, complex and enormous job in a very short period to which
they spend months calculating, drawing and redesigning complicated plans. Examples of such
designing projects are car making, designing office buildings, shopping plazas.

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 6
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

Computers in Stores (Markets):


The items in the store are labeled with Universal Product Code (UPC) in the form of black and
white stripes. These bar codes represent data that identify the manufacturer and product when
scanned by a computer having bar code reader (a machine that detects the bar codes printed
on the items). It then prints the relative item price against that item (stored in the computer)
on the bill for the customer
the customer. Computer also updates Stock by adding items to it when a purchase order is
filled and subtracting items from it when they are sold.

Computers in Health Care:


Doctors diagnose illnesses by entering patients' symptoms in computer and prescribe medicine
accordingly. Of course, the doctor must make the final decision, but the computer speeds up
the process. Computers also help 'researchers in the field of medicine by keeping track of the
matching organ donors and blood donors with the patients who need them. It also keeps
record of the patient's appointments and bills etc.

Computers in Law:
In Law Chambers, computers are used to store a data bank of all those cases that have been
priorly solved or decided. This enables the lawyer to study any case that helps him deal with his
current case.

Computers in Police Department:


The police use computers to help them catch criminals. Data about criminals and suspects can
be stored on computers. All the information about a crime can be fed into a computer, which
can search through its store and check facts.

Computers in Airline System:


Computers used in airline system stores all information about its flights and seat reservations. It
is linked up among different cities and gives full information about its flights. For example, time
of arrival and departure, seat confirmation, cancellation, chance etc. These are also used to
control space flights and to keep a constant check on all the equipment. When a fault occurs,
these are used to find out the cause.

Computers in the Arts:


We can't say computers work in the field of science and technology only. It also works for the
people related to arts and humanities. Computers help and facilitate people to write books and
poetry, draw cartoons, compose songs, design graphical pictures and create special effects in
movies.

History Of Computers
1) ABACUS (3000 B.C): The first computing device was Abacus. Abacus is a frame in
which ten (10) balanced lines are fixed and in each string there are approximately ten
(10) beads, which can freely move left or right.

2) John Napier's Bone: John Napier, the famous mathematician of Scotland, invented
the logarithm table in 1614. The instrument which he invented consisted some bars in
which bones were placed because of which it is called Napier bones. This device can
multiply in an easy way.
3) Blaise Pascal: in 1642, a French mathematician Blaise Pascal invented a calculator
which can add, subtract and divide. He made 50 more machines for the sake of business
but his mission failed because in these machines the level of correctness was not good.
In 1694, William von Leibnitz, a German mathematician invented such calculator which
can find square root other than add, subtract, multiply and divide. Its design was similar
to Pascal calculator.
4) Charles Babbage:-- In1822, an English mathematician Charles Babbage invented
“Difference Engine" for mathematical calculation. In 1842, he developed "Analytical
engine” that was automatic. This engine could perform 60 additions per minute. Charles
Babbage is called the father of computer.
5) Herman Hollerith:-- in 1889, Herman applied the idea of punch cards in computer.
He used punch cards in computer for input and output
6) Atanasoff:--Atanasoff was a professor at Lowa university He invented electronic
computer. He applied Boolean algebra to computer circuitry.
7) Mark-1 computer: In 1944, Howard Aiken of Harvard university in U.S.A developed
Mark-1 first digital computer. It was first automatic calculating machine. It was very
reliable Just huge in size.
8) ENIAC: ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator a calculator. It was invented
by J.P Eckert and John Mauchly in 1946. It was the first electronic computer. It weight
was 30 tons and it covers an area about 30 * 50 square feet.
9) UNIVAC: UNIVAC stands for Universal Automatic computer. It was first digital
computer. It was used in business and industries.

instruction temporarily during processing. These are semi conductor memory . Primary memory
is also called Main or Internal Memory. It has two Types

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 11
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

1. RAM
2. ROM

1. RAM: RAM stands for random access memory . The temporary memory of a computer is
called RAM. This portion of the memory stores data temporarily.

2. ROM: ROM stands for read only memory . The permanent memory of the computer is
called ROM . The instruction stored in Rom can be read and a user cannot change it . ROM is
non-volatile memory . The instruction stored in ROM are not lost whenever the power is
switched OFF.

2. Secondary Storage devices / Secondary memory : These are also called permanent
storage, Auxiliary storage, mass storage devices. These devices are used to store data,
instructions and information permanently. These are non-volatile because it contents remain
safe even if the computer is turned OFF. Following are the different secondary storage devices .

• Hard Disk : Its made of hard material such as iron , silver and silicon etc. Its
hard to install and to remove from the computer system that’s why its called hard desk.
This desk can store more then 300GB of data . With the advancement of technology the
storage capacity of the desk is increasing day by day .
• Floppy Desk : IBM company it in 1972. Its also called diskette. Its consist of a
flexible plastic coated with magnetic oxide. The desk is enclosed in a plastic jacket to
protect it from a dust. It has less storage capacity than Hard desk .
• CD-RW: CD-RW stands for compact Disk-Rewrite able. It’s a desk like CD-ROM.
Its used to write and read data over it for many times. It can store data up to 1 GB.
• DVD-ROM : DVD stands for Digital video desk. Toshiba company invented this
in 1995. Its large size from 4GB to 17GB and transfer data from high speed .
• Flash Memory (USB): Now a day the latest and modern removeable storage
device is Flesh memory or USB (universal serial bus). Its also semi conductor memory. Its
available in different sizes such as 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB etc.

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 12
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

Computer Languages (low level , High level )


Assembly language (low-level languages): It is also low-level language. It is more
computer language developed after machine language. In this language, special codes called
Mnemonic codes are used instead of binary codes.

For example MUL is used for multiplication, ADD 10 used to add etc. A special program called
Assembler is used to translate (convert) assembly language program into machine language.

High level languages (Third generation of languages): A computer language that is


closed to Human language is called high level language. They consist of English words and
mathematical symbols which are easy to understand. High-level languages are easy to learn.
They take less time to write programs. There are two types of translators called compiler and
interpreter, used to translate (convert) high-level language programs into machine language
programs.

Examples of high-level languages arc FORTARN, BASIC, C, C++ and JAVA etc.

Data Communication
Data Communication : The transfer of information from one point to another is called data
communication.

Elements of Data Communication :


1. Sender : The computer or electronic device which generates or transfer data is
called Sender.
2. Receiver: The computer or electronic device which receive data is called
receiver.
3. Medium: The media which carries the data or through which data travels is
called medium.

Modes of Data Communication


• Simplex
• Half Duplex
• Full Duplex

1. Simplex: In simplex mode communication is take place in one direction only . This one
way transmission is not due to wire media but simply because one end has only
transmitter and other end is only receiver .

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 13
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

Example: TV and Radio transmission is simplex transmission.

2. Half-Duplex: A half duplex system can transmit data in both directions, but only in one
in one direction at a time . wireless system is the example of half-duplex system.

3. Full Duplex: In this transmission the data is transferred in both direction


simultaneously.
Example: Telephone system and Mobile system etc.

Computer Networking
Computer Network: A computer network is a set of two or more computers
connected together in order to share information and other resources . The computers
in a network are connected one another through cables , satellite or telephone lines .

Types of Computer Networking


1.LAN (local Area Network)
2.MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
3.WAN(wide Area Network)

LAN: (local Area Network): The network of computers inside a building, office,
college or surrounded area is called local area network. In LAN, computers are
connected with each other in surrounded area.
For example, networking in a college or in office. If you have many computers in your
industry, office or college. If you connect all the computers with each other, then this
network will become a LAN.

MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): A network of computer in a city is called


MAN.
Example: Suppose you have two offices of your company in Lahore. One in Allamah
Iqbal town and other in Gulberg town. If you connect computers of these two offices,
then it will become MAT. normally covers an area between 5 and 50km.

WAN (Wide Area Network): Networking outside building, office, citizens and could
fice citizes and countries is called WAN. In a WAN normally two or more LANs are
connected together generally across a Wide geographical area. Computer in WAN are
often connected through public networks such as the telephone system. They can also
be connected through leased lines or satellite. The speed of WAN depends on the speed
provided by the company.

HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 14
Introduction To Computing (CS101)

Examples: In Air ticketing system like PIA, many offices can be joined together using
WAN. A person can register a ticket from any office in the country.

Network Topology : The physical layout or structure of a computer network is called


network topology. OR the way in which the computers and other devices etc. are
connected in a network is called network topology .

Types of Network Topology:


Following are the common Network Topologies.
1) Bus topology/ horizontal topology.
2) Star topology.
3) Ring topology.
4) Mesh topclogy.
5) Hybrid Topology

1. Bus Topology: It is also called horizontal topology. In this topology a single cable
(coaxial cable) also called a bus is used to connect every computer of the network.
When one computer sends a message through bus, all computers receive that
message but only one computer can said a message at a time.
2. Star Topology: In this topology, all computers are connected to a central location
through network device such as hub or switch. Each computer on the star network
sends its message to a central device (hub or switch) which resends the message
either to all computers or only to the destination computer.

3. Ring Topology: In this topology, every computer is connected to the next


computer and the last computer is connected with the first one. There is no central
controlling device in this topology .

4. Mesh Topology: In this topology, every computer or device is directly connected


to every other computer or device on the network.

5. Hybrid Topology: A hybrid topology is a combination of two or more basic


network ologies such as star-bus, star-ring etc. In a hybrid topology, central and
distributed topologies combined to meet the needs of an organization.
