COMPUTER AND ITS INTRODUCTION

Definition:-

A computer is an electronic device which receives the data from the user as input, process it & give the results as an output. User can store the result or send from one place to another between more than one user.

Block Diagram:-

Input Deceives:- mouse, keyboard, joystick, barcode reader etc.

Output Devices:- monitor, projector, speaker, headphone etc.

What is CPU(central processing unit):-

  • It is known as the brain of the computer which Is used for process the input data provided by the user to the computer system.
  • Before process the input is known as the raw data, but after process it is known as information.
  • The CPU consist of three component i-e

a. ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)

b. CU(Control Unit)

c. MU(Memory Unit)

ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit):-

It is responsible for Arithmetic and logical operations. Ex. Add, Sub , Mul , Div(Arithmetic) Compare, Bitwise Operator, And, Or etc.(Logical)

CU (Control Unit):-

It is responsible for controlling all the activities whatever is running in to the system. It controls every thing by generating the control signals.

MU(Memory Unit):-

It is responsible for storing the data whether it is inside or outside of the system. It has following two types i-e Primary memory, Secondary Memory

Memory

Primary memory

Secondary Memory

RAM, ROM

DISK, PENDRIVE, HARD DISK

Components of PC

There are five classic components are discussed below

a. Data path:- through which data is coming to the system.

b. Control:- generate control signals to maintain the system under control.

c. Memory:- use to store the data.

d. Input:- External devices to provide instruction to the system.

e. Output:- Devices use to store the results.
