Computer Basics

• A computer is an electronic machine that stores,


retrieves and process data
• It can not think or reason; it can carry out instructions
given to it
• Ability to accept, store and execute program makes the
computer an invaluable and all purpose business tool

Computation

Tanvir Ahammad Dept. of CSE, JnU


Computer Basics

• Accepts input, processes data, stores data, and


produces output
• Input refers to whatever is sent to a Computer system
• Data refers to the symbols that represent facts, objects,
and ideas
• Processing is the way that a computer manipulates data
• A computer processes data in a device called the
central processing unit (CPU)

Tanvir Ahammad Dept. of CSE, JnU


Computer Basics

• Memory is an area of a computer that holds data that is


waiting to be processed, stored, or output
• Storage is the area where data can be left on a
permanent basis
• Computer output is the result produced by the
computer
• An output device displays, prints or transmits the results
of processing

events data

Information is data that has been


processed in such a way as to be
Data is raw material for processing.
meaningful to the person who
receives it.

Example
If you had a sum:
123+123 = 246
(this is your data) (this is now your information)
