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.
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)
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.
de
Primary key: The attribute that can uniquely identify the record in database.
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.
HAMMAD AHMAD - 61 3
Introduction To Computing (CS101)
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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 .
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.
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.
