11. Classification of computers on the basis of w
1. Analog computers
Analog computers solve problems by using continuously
changing data such as temperature ,humidity, pressure,
voltage, etc. This computer operates on continuous data
2. Digital computers
The digital computers solve problems by using discrete d
Discrete data are obtained by counting.
