A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences

of arithmetic or logical operations (computation). Modern digital electronic computers can


perform generic sets of operations known as programs, which enable computers to
perform a wide range of tasks. The term computer system may refer to a nominally
complete computer that includes the hardware, operating system, software,
and peripheral equipment needed and used for full operation; or to a group of computers
that are linked and function together, such as a computer network or computer cluster.

A broad range of industrial and consumer products use computers as control systems,
including simple special-purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, and
factory devices like industrial robots. Computers are at the core of general-purpose
devices such as personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones.
Computers power the Internet, which links billions of computers and users.
