A computer is an electronic device that accepts data as input, processes the data, and produces results as output which can be stored. It has four main functions: input, processing, output, and storage. A computer also contains hardware components like input/output devices, storage devices, and internal components. It runs programs and software to perform tasks.

2. Computer
An Electronic machine operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory
• Accepts data
• Manipulates data
• Produces results
• Stores results

3.  Computer is an electronic data processing device which
• Accepts and stores data input,
• Processes the data input, and
• Generates the output in a required format.

Computer

4. Functions of Computer
 Input: accepting data that has been represented in a way the computer can use.
 Processing: performing arithmetic or comparison (Logical) operation on the represented data
 Output: Displaying results.
 Storage: Storing results for later reuse.

5.  Control Unit: Controls the overall process of the system.
 Programs: A computer program is a list of instruction, written in a programming language,
that tell the computer who to perform that simple operation in order to accomplish a task

8. Hardware
 Hardware represents the physical and tangible components of a computer i.e. the components
that can be seen and touched.
 Examples of Hardware are following:
 Input devices -- keyboard, mouse etc.
 Output devices -- printer, monitor etc.
 Secondary storage devices -- Hard disk, CD, DVD etc.
 Internal components -- CPU, motherboard, RAM etc

10. Software
 Software is a set of programs, which is designed to perform a well-defined function. A
program is a sequence of instructions written to solve a particular problem.
 There are two types of software
 System Software
 Application Software
 Device drivers
