Computer Basics: by - Heena Ojha

A computer is a machine that can carry out arithmetic and logical operations automatically according to programmed instructions. Computers are used for industrial control, consumer devices, personal use, and connecting over the Internet. Computers range in size from personal computers for individual use to mainframes supporting thousands of users simultaneously. Hardware refers to the physical and tangible components of a computer like the monitor, keyboard, printer, and CPU. Software refers to the internal programs and operating systems like Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS that control the computer's functions but are not physically touched.

BASICS

BY – HEENA OJHA
What is Computer

– A computer is a machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic


or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the
ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable
computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks. A "complete" computer including
the hardware, the operating system (main software), and peripheral equipment required and
used for "full" operation can be referred to as a computer system. This term may as well be
used for a group of computers that are connected and work together, in particular acomputer
network or computer cluster.
– Computers are used as control systems for a wide variety of industrial and consumer devices.
This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls,
factory devices such as industrial robots and computer-aided design, and also general purpose
devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones. The Internet is run
on computers and it connects hundreds of millions of other computers and their users.
TYPES OF COMPUTER

–
Computers can be generally classified by size and power as follows, though there is
considerable overlap:
– Personal computer: A small, single-user computer based on a microprocessor.
– Workstation: A powerful, single-user computer. A workstation is like a personal computer, but
it has a more powerful microprocessor and, in general, a higher-quality monitor.
– Minicomputer: A multi-user computer capable of supporting up to hundreds of users
simultaneously.
– Mainframe: A powerful multi-user computer capable of supporting many hundreds or
thousands of users simultaneously.
– Supercomputer: An extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds of millions of
instructions per second
