2. TYPES OF COMPUTER
ON THE BASIS OF WORK
Computers can be divided into three basic
categories on the basis of work:
1. Analog Computer
2. Digital Computer
3. Hybrid Computer
4. ANALOG COMPUTERS
The computer which provide us continuous
information are called Analog computers.
Accuracy is less of these computers,
Measure only natural or physical values,
It infect a physical quantity like: pressure, speed,
voltage, temperature, etc. and
Used for specific purpose.
7. DIGITAL COMPUTERS
The computers which presents physical quantities with the help of symbols or
numbers and provide us discrete information are called digital computers.
Based on discrete data,
Accuracy,
Based on principle of logic 0 and 1,
More reliable i.e. less noise and filtering facility,
Large storage capacity and
Used for general purpose.
11. Hybrid computers are computers that exist features of
both analog and digital computers.
Good qualities due to combination of both analog and
digital computers,
Can process both continuous and discrete data,
Special purpose machines,
Mostly used in airplanes, hospitals, etc. and
High cost.
