This document provides an overview of computer programming. It begins by listing the objectives of understanding the functional parts of computers, their characteristics, and basic computing concepts. It then defines what a computer is, describing it as a device that performs calculations at high speeds by processing data. The document outlines the main components of a computer system including the input, output, memory, CPU and control unit. It provides details on characteristics like speed, accuracy, versatility, and memory. Finally, it includes sample questions for further review.

Objectives

4. Computer…
Comes from the word “compute”
Compute means “to calculate”
So Computer is calculating device
Perform calculations at enormous speed
Computer is device that operates upon “Data” or
“Information”
e.g. preparing results, calculations, transactions,
scientific work etc

5. Computer…
Computer can input “Data”
Computer can process “Data”
Computer can store “Data”
Computer can retrieve “Data”
Finally…
Computer can be termed as “Data Processor”

8. ...Characteristics of Computer...
Speed...
 Fast device
 Work done as anormous speed as compare
to human beings
 Speed of Computer is meaured in term
microseconds,nanoseconds,and ever
picoseconds
Prepared By Mr. V. S. Patil Dept
(CSE)/AEC

9. ...Characteristics of Computer...
Accuracy...
 Work with the higgest
Accuracy
 Accuracy depends upon the
"Design of Computer"
 Human Errors are like wrong
command, inaccurate data
input etc

10. ...Characteristics of Computer...
Diligence...
 Free from "monotony"
 Free from "Tiredness"
 Free from Lack of
"Consentration"
Prepared By Mr. V. S. Patil Dept
(CSE)/AEC

11. ...Characteristics of Computer...
Versatility...
• Can perform all kind of job
simultaneously
• Can do diverse nature of
works like
calculations,graphics
work,searching etc at the
same time
Prepared By Mr. V. S. Patil Dept
(CSE)/AEC

12. ...Characteristics of Computer...
Power of Remembering...
• Unlike human being Computer can store huge amount of data
• Doesn't differentiate "Important" & "Not Important"
• Loss or Deletion of data is done by User
Prepared By Mr. V. S. Patil Dept

13. ...Characteristics of Computer...
No IQ...
• Not a thinking machine
• Not Intelligent
• Never does a task as it own
• Follow human Instuctions

14. ...Characteristics of Computer...
No Feeling...
• Follow Human Instructions
• Never decides at its own will
• No taste
• No emotions
• No knowledge

16. • Computers need to receive data and instruction in order
to solve any problem.
• Accept the data and instructions from the outside world.
• Convert it to a form that the computer can understand.
• Supply the converted data to the computer system for
further processing.
• Keyboard is the one of the most commonly used input
device.
• Example:
mouse, Scanner, Light Pen, Joystick, Touch Screen
etc.

17. •The storage unit of the computer holds data and
instructions that are entered through the input unit, before
they are processed.
• It stores the intermediate and final results before these
are sent to the output devices.
•It also saves the data for the later use.
•The various storage devices of a computer system are
divided into two categories.
Storage Unit….
Prepared By Mr. V. S. Patil Dept
(CSE)/AEC

18. 1. Primary Storage:
•Stores and provides very fast.
• The primary memory is temporary in nature. The data is
lost, when the computer is switched off.
•Ex.RAM.
2. Secondary Storage:
•Secondary storage is used like an archive.
•It stores several programs, documents, data bases etc.
•Some of the commonly used secondary memory
devices are Hard disk, CD, etc.,

19. Output Unit
•The output unit of a computer provides the information and
results of a computation to outside world.
• Ex. Printers, Visual Display Unit (VDU) are the commonly
used output devices.
•Other commonly used output devices are Monitor,
Speaker, Plotter.

20. The control unit and ALU of the computer are together
known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
The CPU is like brain performs the following functions:
• It performs all calculations.
• It takes all decisions.
• It controls all units of the computer.

21. • Arithmetic Logical Unit:
The Arithmetic unit can perform basic arithmetic
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, etc
• And Logical unit can perform basic operations viz, >, <, =,
‘etc..
CPU can be divided in to
following

22. Control Unit:
It controls all other units in the computer.
It fetches the instruction from memory which is to be Executed
It instructs the input unit, where to store the data after receiving
it from the user.
It controls the flow of data and instructions from the storage unit
to ALU.
It also controls the flow of results from the ALU to the storage
unit.
The control unit is generally referred as the central nervous
system of the computer that control and synchronizes its
working.
