1. Computer fundamental
What is computer?
Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the
control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can process
both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.

Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the
control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use.

A computer has four functions:

a) accepts data Input
b) processes data Processing
c) produces output Output
d) stores results Storage

Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters,
numbers, images etc.
Process: Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally internal process of the computer system.
Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save
these results in the storage devices for the future use. Computer System All of the components of a computer system can be
summarized with the simple equations.
 COMPUTER SYSTEM = HARDWARE + SOFTWARE+ USER

• Hardware = Internal Devices + Peripheral Devices All physical parts of the computer (or everything that we can touch) are
known as Hardware.

• Software = Programs Software gives "intelligence" to the computer.

• USER = Person, who operates computer.

Software
Software is a set of instructions or programs that tell a computer what to do. It is non-physical part of a computer system,
unlike hardware (which is the physical parts).

There are two main types of software:

1. System software
2. Application software

System software
Helps run the computer hardware and system (e.g., windows, Linux, macOS).

Application software
Helps users perform specific tasks (e.g., MS word, web browsers, games).

Hardware
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that you can touch and see.

Examples of hardware include:

Input devices: keyboard, mouse, scanner
Output devices: Monitor, printer, speakers
Storage devices: hard drive, SSD, pen drive (SSD= Solid State Drive.)
Processing unit: CPU (Central Processing Unit)
Memory: RAM, ROM
