PAPER - I : COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL & WINDOWS

Q. What is a Computer?
The word computer comes from the word compute that means
to calculate. So we can say that a Computer is an electronic
calculating device. Computer takes data, information, and
instructions through In-put devices, processing it at C P U and
gives out the meaning-full results through Out-put devices. All
these activities are completed very enormous speed.

Following are the works to do by using a COMPUTER :

C – Calculate : Computer can perform Arithmetic & Logical

calculations.

O - Operate : We can operate other machines by using

computer.

M - Memory : We can store large amount of information by using

computer.

P - Process : We can do repetitions of a work by using computer

U - Update : We can up-to-date our information.

T - Transfer : We can transfer our information one place to

another.

E - Edit : We can change our information more effectively. That

means we can correct the spelling, grammar mistakes,paragraph
settings etc.

R - Retrieve : We can feed back our information from memories

any time.

DIFFERENT PARTS OF COMPUTER

Computer mainly divides into two parts. These are -
1) Hardware and
2) Software

HARDWARE
All the physical components of a computer are called Hardware. It is touchable and it has a
shape. Example: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, CPU, Printer, Speaker etc. All the hardware devices
also divided into three kinds. These are Input Devices, CPU and Out Put Devices.

In - Put Devices : Which components are used to give information or instructions to the
computer are called as In-put devices. Example Mouse, Keyboard, Light Pen, Joy-Stick, Scanners,
Microphone etc.

Out-Put Devices : Which components are used to taking information from the computers are
called as output devices. Example Monitor, Speaker, Printers etc.

CPU : CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. Actually CPU is the brain of a computer.

SOFTWARE
Collection of programs is called as software. Software is the logical part of computer. It is not
touchable and has no shape. Software is of two types: System Software and Application
Software.
1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE: System software is used to running a computer system. This software
drives all the hardware devices and controls all processing activities. Systems software consists
with Operating Systems, Language Processors, Compiler, Interpreters and Utility Tools.
2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE : An Application software is that software by which user can solve
a specific problem. Example- Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Paint etc.

PROGRAM
To accomplish a task we are giving several instructions to the computer. These instructions used
to tell the computer what to do, how to do and when to do. These set of instructions called as
program.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Operating system is set of programs that control and support hardware and provide various services. It task like
a traffic controller. The operating system can be classified as single user and multiple users depending on the
number of users working on it at a given point of time.
DOS is a good example of single user operating system and UNIX; Windows, LINUX are some of the common
multiple user operating system.
THE MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF OPERATING SYSTEM :
1. It assigns processors to tasks
2. It manages memory and other storage areas.
3. It acts as a command interpreter.
4. File management.
5. Input - Output management.
6. Establishing data security & integrity.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
Computers are classified according to their size, memory capacity and data processing
speed; computers are classified into following four main groups.

COMPUTER MEMORY
Memory in a computer system is required for storage on subsequent retrieval of the instructions and data.

The Computer Memory divided into two types based on whether the memory is used, inside

the computer or it is an external storage device.

In computers there are two types of memories.

1). PRIMARY MEMORY (OR) MAIN MEMORY:

The memory on the motherboard of the computer is called the primary memory. This is also called the main
memory or the on-line memory.

This primary can be further divided following types

2). SECONDARY MEMORY (OR) AUXILIARY MEMORY:

Secondary memory is actually used to store program or data permanently. This memory is not on
Motherboard. It is connected via cable or connector. It is non-volatile memory. This is also called auxiliary
or permanent memory. Sometimes this memory also known as off-line memory.

Example – Hard Disk Drive, Floppy Disk Drive, CD/DVD, Pen drive etc.

Memory measured in bytes.

8 bits - 1 Byte
(BIT stands for Binary Digit. That means 0 and 1)
1024 Bytes - 1 KB (Kilo Byte)
1024 K Bytes - 1 MB (Mega Byte)
1024 M Bytes - 1 GB (Giga Byte)
1024 G Bytes - 1 TB (Tera Byte)
