Data Processing

Electronic data processing uses computers to accurately and rapidly manipulate, record, classify, and summarize data. It involves three main elements: hardware (physical computer components), software (programs and applications), and peopleware (people's roles in developing and using computer systems). Some examples of electronic data processing include using data for calculations, maintaining student records, and tracking inventory. The key advantages are speed, accuracy, automatic operation, decision-making capability, compact data storage, imposing discipline on problem-solving, and storing both instructions and data (the stored-program concept).

ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING
 Electronic data processing is a frequently used
term for automatic information processing. It uses
the computers to manipulate, record, classification
and to summarize data. A computer is the best
example of an electronic data processing machine.
Electronic data processing is an accurate and
rapid method.
EXAMPLES OF
ELECTRONIC DATA
PROCESSING
CALCULATION

using data to calculate things such as revenue,


costs and customer charges. For example, a
telecom company may use call data to calculate
usage-based charges and to format bills that are
delivered by digital channels such as web.
RECORDS

a school uses a system to maintain student


records including a user interface for teachers to
enter grades.
PROCESSES

a supermarket uses electronic tags to


track all inventory and automate tasks
such as reordering.
ELEMENTS
OF
ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING
HARDWARE

 The physical components of


computer system it refers to the
tangible devices that can be seen,
touch and felt.
 The hardware that makes up the
most basic computer system includes
the monitor, keyboard and a system
unit.
SOFTWARE
 a set of instructions, data or programs
used to operate computers and execute
specific tasks. Opposite of hardware, which
describes the physical aspects of a
computer, software is a generic term used
to refer to applications, scripts and
programs that run on a device.

 It also includes utility programs(for


ex. sorting routines) that have been
written by system programmers and
stored in the memory of the computer
system.
PEOPLEWARE
 is a role of people in the development or use of
computers software's and hardware systems
including such issues as system manager system
analyst, programmer and user.
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING
SPEED

since a computer is an electronic device, it



operates as the speed of electric flow which is
measured in billionths and trillionths of a second.
A computer can solve problems less than a minute.
ACCURACY
High speed processing by computers is

accompanied by high-accuracy results. The
electronic circuitry of computers is such that,
when the machines are programmed correctly and
when relatively assured. No other system can
operate with as much accuracy as the electronic
system.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

an electronic computer can carry out a sequence



of many data processing operations without
human intervention. The various operations are
executed automatically by way of a stored
computer program.
DECISION MAKING CAPABILITY

a computer can perform certain decision instructions



automatically. Here a decision consist of two steps.

Determining whether a certain statement is true or


false.
Based on the result, choosing one or the other course
of action out of alternatives included in the computer
program.
COMPACT STORAGE

Electronic data processing systems have the



ability to store large amounts of data in a compact
and easily retrievable form.
DISCIPLINE IT IMPOSSES

To solve a problem with a computer you must,


first, understand the problem, and second,
program the computer to give you the right
answers. Understanding a problem is one thing,
but understanding it to depth of detail and insight
required to program the computer is a completely
different matters.
THE STORED-PROGRAM CONCEPT
 designed by Hungarian mathematician John Von Neumann.

 The von Neumann architecture is a design model for a stored-


program digital computer that uses a processing unit and a
single separate storage structure to hold both instructions and
data.

 A stored-program digital computer is one that keeps its


programmed instructions, as well as its data, in read-write,
random access memory (RAM).
