There are several types of computers:
- Analog computers represent data continuously as physical quantities like temperature and output is also continuous.
- Digital computers represent data as discrete numbers and output discrete results. They are faster and more accurate than analog computers.
- Microcomputers are the smallest type, ranging from calculators to desktop PCs, using a microprocessor as the CPU. They are used for personal and small office/business applications.
- Minicomputers are more powerful than microcomputers and used for departmental and work group systems.
- Mainframe computers offer high-speed processing and large storage and are used as central databases and host systems.
- Supercomputers are designed for scientific tasks and contain multiple
