Data is converted into binary data
Basic Structure of
computing.
Binary data is processed by the CPU
Input Devices provide Data
This processed data is given to output
devices
Input Devices include things like mouse
and keyboard
Computer Understands binary language,so data is converted into
binary form.
This data is then feed to
CPU,more specifically
the
microprocessor.Micropr
ocessor is made up of
billions and billions of
transistors that act as
super fast switches.
Transistors
can be
connected to
form logic
gates
These logics
gates form
circuits like
Half
adder,Full
adder
etc.These
circuit
Process the
data.
Output
devicesLik
e monitor
and
speakers
receive
the
processed
data from
CPU
Programmin
g languages
like python
and Java help
us instruct
the
computer to
do specific
computation
s.
