OPERATIONS OF COMPUTER

FIVE BASIC OPERATIONS FOR CONVERTING RAW INTO USEFUL DATA

Input data into useful informaton and presenting it to a user.


  •         INPUTING- process of entering data and instructions into a computer system.


  •          STORING- saving data and instruction to make them readily available for initial or additional processing as and when required.



  •          PROCESSING- (1) performing arithmetic operations.

                  (2) logic operations on data to convert them into useful             
                    information.



  •         OUTPUTING- process of producing information or result for a user such as  PRINTED REPORTS or VISUAL DISPLAY.                                                                                                                       
  •         CONTROLLING- directing the manner and sequence in which above operation are perform.

components


COMPUTER SOFTWARE SYSTEM

Software or program enable a computer to perform a specific task to the physical components of the system(hardware).
Software such as WORD-PROCESSOR, , OPERATING SYSTEM etc.

TYPES OF SOFTWARE

PRACTICALLY COMPUTER SYSTEM DIVIDE SOFTWARE INTO THREE MAJOR CLASSES:

1.      SYSTEM SOFTWARE- it helps run the computer hardware and computer system it includes operating system device drivers, services, utilities andmore
.
2.      APPLICATION SOFTWARE- Typically application include office automation, business software, educational software, medical software, data basis and computer games.

3.      PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE- The tool include text editor, compilers, interpreters, linkers.

4.      UTILITY SOFTWARE- the work of this softwre is anaging the computer.

OPERATING SYSTEM

Operating system operate or give instructions to all the application and programming software.

TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM

1.      UNIX

2.      LINEX

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS

Computers can be generally classified by size and power as follows:

1.      Personal computers
2.      Workststion
3.      Mini computers
4.      Mainframe
5.      Super computers

classification


OUTPUT DEVICE

Output device gives us a result(outputing) by putting a raw material(inputing) through input devices. Some output devices are given below:


Visual display unit(VDU)
Terminals
Printers

MICROSOFT OFFICE

MS-office developed by MS Corporation his owner is Mr. “billgates”. MS office is a package of five content:



  • MS-word
  • MS-excel
  • MS-PowerPoint
  • MS-access
  • MS-outlook

office


DATA PROCESSOR

The activity of processing data using a computer is called data processing.
Data process consist of three activities:


  1. Capture in input data
  2. Manipulating the data
  3. Managing output data



ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER


    computer
  • Accuracy
  • No fatigue
  • memorising effect
  • analyses of data
  • speed
  • dynamic role
  • cost reduction
  • work autometically
  • no physiologically problem
  • intengible benefit
