A computer is an electronic device that accepts data as input, processes it, and provides output. It is composed of various electronic components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, and microchips connected by wires or cables. A basic computer consists of a central processing unit for calculations, a keyboard for inputting data, and a monitor for displaying output.
