COMPUTER

ALGORITHMS
ALGORITHM
 An algorithm is a set of instructions designed
to perform a specific task.
 An algorithm is a specific procedure for solving
a well-defined computational problem.
 This can be a simple process, such as
multiplying two numbers, or a complex
operation, such as playing a compressed video
file.
 In computer programming, algorithms are
often created as functions.

 It requires an understanding of the alternatives
available for solving a computational problem,
including the hardware,
networking, programming language, and
performance constraints that accompany any
particular solution.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTERS

SPEED
 Computers are much faster to perform
mathematical calculations than human. The
computer is capable of performing millions of
tasks per second.
 It takes an hour or a day for a person to do a
mathematical calculation or any work, to do the
same calculation or work to a computer do in
microseconds or nanoseconds.

ACCURACY
 A computer is very accurate. It does not make
any kind of mistake in calculating. Sometimes
we get some error but these are because of the
mistake performed by us.
 The Accuracy Of the computer is constantly
high and it can perform hundred of operation
with the carry-out calculation and analysis
accurately and speedily.

DILIGENCE
 A person gets tired of doing some work in a few
hours and a computer has the ability to do any
work continuously for many hours, days,
months.
 Even after the computer has worked for such a
long time, there is no decrease in its ability to
work and the accuracy of the result.

RELIABILITY
 Reliability is a very big characteristics of
computer. Today almost all the big industries
or big e-Commerce companies like Amazon and
Flipkart, and big search engine companies like -
Google and Bing, all these companies are
dependent on computers.
 Today every major industry and companies in
the world have full confidence in their
computers, and their entire business is running
from computers.
 Today the work of all companies is being done
through computers.

VERSATILITY
 Versatility is the Characteristics of a computer.
Its means is that the computer is capable of
working in almost every field.
 Today computers are being used almost
everywhere like schools, colleges, hospitals,
offices, railway stations, hotels etc.
 A computer system is multitasking so that you
can do two tasks very easily at the same time.

STORAGE CAPACITY
 Computer systems have a very large capacity to
store any type of data. A computer can store
and resell any information due to its storage
capacity.
 Computers have the ability to store all types of
data such as data, pictures, files, programs,
games, and sound for many years and later we
can get any data in a few seconds at any time for
taking that information and for future retrieval

AUTOMATIC
 A computer is an automatic machine because
once started on a job they carry on until the job
is finished without any human assistance.

M RAJESHKUMAR ASST.PROF AJKCAS 11


QUICK DECISION
 The computer takes the decision very quickly,
given by the user which is the instruction
arithmetic data or logic data.
 All Mathematical data is called arithmetic data.
 Copy Document, Delete file, open camera etc
this type of data is called Logical data.

M RAJESHKUMAR ASST.PROF AJKCAS 12


MULTITASKING
 Multitasking is also a very special feature of
computers. A user can do different types of
tasks on the computer at the same time.
 Like we are using MS Word in computer as well
as listening to songs and also getting printouts.
 We can do a lot of work at the same time.

M RAJESHKUMAR ASST.PROF AJKCAS 13


NO FEELING
 In computers, like humans, there is no feeling
and emotion, nor does the computer have any
knowledge and experience, because a computer
is a machine which works continuously on the
instruction of humans without any selfishness
and without tiredness.

M RAJESHKUMAR ASST.PROF AJKCAS 14


POWER OF REMEMBERING
 Power of remembering is also very
special Characteristics of the computer.
 You can store many types of information and
data on your computer in very large quantities.
Whenever you need this data in future, you can
get that data in a few seconds matter why.
 You can get the data even after a long time. It
depends on you, after how long or after how
many years you need the data.

M RAJESHKUMAR ASST.PROF AJKCAS 15


NO IQ
 A computer is a dumb machine, without a user,
a computer is a useless machine and device.
 Until a user does not give any instruction, it
cannot do any work and only after completing
the instruction, he completes that work very
fast.
 A computer system is completely dependent on
us humans how to work.
