There are three types of computers based on data handling capabilities: Analog, Digital, and Hybrid. Analog computers process continuous data and provide approximate values, while Digital computers work with discrete data and perform calculations at high speed. Hybrid computers combine features of both, processing both continuous and discrete data, and are used in specialized applications.

Types of Computer

On the basis of data handling capabilities, there are three types of computer:
1. Analog Computer
2. Digital Computer
3. Hybrid Computer
Analog Computer:-
 It is particularly designed to process analog data.
 Continuous data that changes continuously and cannot have discrete values is called
analogue data.
 Analog computer is used where we don’t need exact values or need approximate
values such as speed, temperature, pressure etc.
 It can directly accept the data from the measuring device without first converting it
into numbers and codes.
 It measures the continuous changes in physical quantity. It gives output as a reading
on a dial or scale. For example speedometer, mercury thermometer, etc.
Digital Computer:

 In Digital Computers data are send into discrete form.

 Digital computers are designed in such a way that it can easily perform calculations and logical

operations at high speed.

 It takes raw data as an input and processes it with programs stored in its memory to produce

the final output.

 It only understands the binary input 0 and 1, so the raw input data is converted to 0 and 1 by

the computer and then it is processed by the computer to produce the result or final output.

 All modern computers, like laptops, desktops including smartphones are digital computers.
Hybrid Computer:

• As the name suggests hybrid, which means made by combining two different things.

• Similarly, the hybrid computer is a combination of both analog and digital computers.

• Hybrid computers are fast like an analog computer and have memory, and accuracy like a digital

computer.

• So, it has the ability to process both continuous and discrete data.

• For working when it accepts analog signals as input then it converts them into digital form by

sampling and quantization before processing the input data.

• So, it is widely used in specialized applications where both analog and digital data is required to be

processed.

• A processor which is used in petrol pumps that converts the measurements of fuel flow into quantity

and price is an example of a hybrid computer.
