Pc Computer Types on Basic

The document classifies computers into two main types based on technology: analog, digital, and hybrid computers. Analog computers work with continuous values, digital computers operate on binary data for accurate results, and hybrid computers combine features of both. Additionally, it mentions handheld computers or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) as portable devices used for various tasks.

Types of computer

Two types of
classification
• On the basis of Technology
• On the basis of Size
Types of computers on the basis of
Technology
• Analog Computers
• Digital Computers
• Hybrid Computers
Analog Computers
• Analog Computer is a computing device that works on
continuous range of values. The results given by the analog
computers will only be approximate since they deal with quantities
that vary continuously. It generally deals with physical variables
such as voltage, pressure, temperature, speed, etc.
Digital Computers
• A digital computer operates on digital data such as numbers. It uses binary
number system in which there are only two digits 0 and 1. Each one is called
a bit. The digital computer is designed using digital circuits in which there are
two levels for an input or output signal. These two levels are known as logic
0 and logic 1. Digital Computers can give more accurate and faster results.
Based on the purpose, Digital computers can be further classified as:
• General Purpose Computers
• Special Purpose Computers
Hybrid Computers
• A hybrid computer combines the desirable features of analog and digital
computers. It is mostly used for automatic operations of complicated
physical processes and machines. Now-a-days analog-to-digital and digital-to-
analog converters are used for transforming the data into suitable form for
either type of computation. For example, in hospital’s ICU, analog devices
might measure the patients temperature, blood pressure and other vital signs.
Handheld Computers or Personal Digital
Assistants (PDAs)
• Handheld computers or Personal Digital
Assistants (PDAs) are pen-based and also battery-
powered. They are small and can be carried
anywhere. They use a pen like stylus and accept
handwritten input directly on the screen. They are
not as powerful as desktops or laptops but they
are used for scheduling appointments, storing
addresses and playing games. They have touch
screens which we use with a finger or a stylus.
