Networks

The document defines and describes different types of computer networks. It explains that a network allows computers to communicate and share files. There are three main types of networks: local area networks (LANs) which connect computers in a limited local area like a building; metropolitan area networks (MANs) which connect computers within a single city using fiber optic cables; and wide area networks (WANs) which connect computers over large distances like multiple cities or countries using telephone lines. The document also provides an example algorithm to add two numbers as an illustration of what an algorithm is.

What is Network?
• Network is the group of computers in which computers communicate and share
files with each other over networks nodes.
• The computer on the network can be linked through nodes, cables, telephone
line or wireless.
Types of Networks
• There are three types of networks:
 LAN ( Local Area Network )
 MAN ( Metropolitan Area Network )
 WAN ( Wide Area Network )
LAN
• Local Area Network is the most common type of network.
• In LAN computer are interconnected in the limited geographical area.
• LAN is used to connect computer in a single building.
Advantages and disadvantages of LAN
Metropolitan Area Network
• Metropolitan Area Network is a communication network system that covers area
of a single city.
• MAN consists of more than on LAN in a city.
• Fiber optic cables are used to allow sharing of information at high speed.
• Mobile phone system also used MAN.
Advantages and disadvantages of MAN
Wide Area Network
• Wide Area Network covers a large area.
• Computer of a WAN can be in different cities, countries or continents.
• Computer in a WAN are connected through telephone lines.
• The large computers in WAN are known as host computer.
Advantages and disadvantages of WAN

What is Algorithms?
• An algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task.
• In computer programming, algorithms are often created as function.
Example of Algorithms
Algorithm to add two numbers entered by the user:
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Declare variables num1, num2 and sum.
Step 3: Read values num1 and num2.
Step 4: Add num1 and num2 and assign the result to sum.
sum←num1+num2
Step 5: Display sum
Step 6: Stop
