What Is Computer
Computeris an electronic device that
receives input, stores or processes the
input as per user instructions and
provides output in desired format.

Types of Computer
Theretypes of computer are present in the market
nowadays that are useful in there own way each and
every one of them have different type of work and
specialised work . Maybe some of them are not use
in present,but they were used in the past.
Microcomputer Minicomputer
Workstation Supercompute
Mainframe

MICRO COMPUTERS
Microcomputers are
mainlyused for
managing databases,
graphics, word
processing,etc.
minicomputers were a
variety of computer
primarily used in the
1960s to 1980s.
A microcomputer can
technically be
described as the
combination of a
microprocessor and its
peripheral , devices,
circuitry and memory.

Microcomputers are less

They were used for
scientific and
engineering
computations,
business transaction
processing, file
handling, and database
management
They are known for their
reliability, durability, and
affordability. Mini-
computers are smaller
and less powerful than
supercomputers but are
more powerful than
personal computers.
Example:
Smartphones
Notebooks
Touch Screen Pads
High-End Music Plays
Desktop Mini Computers
Supercomputer
The biggest andfastest computers
are supercomputers. Such
computers can process trillions of
functions within a few seconds.
Common applications for supercomputers
include testing mathematical models for
complex physical phenomena or designs,
such as climate and weather, evolution of
the cosmos, nuclear weapons and reactors,
new chemical compounds and cryptology.
A supercomputer allows multiple
users to access supercomputing at
the same time. It has a very high
storage capacity.

Mainframe
Mainframe computers areuseful when a
large number of people are involve .These
computers process large amounts of data.
They have evolved a lot over the years in
terms of speed, size, and efficiency. These
computers are just below the
supercomputers.
9.
Supercomputer Mainframe
The primaryfunction of a
supercomputer is to perform
various large computations of
mathematics that might be
complex in nature.
These can feasibly perform the
execution of billions of floating-
point operations in just a
second.
These are basically the largest
computers till today in the
world.
These are the most expensive
type of computers in the world.
The primary function of a
mainframe computer is the
storage of large amounts of
databases in them.
These can perform simultaneous
execution of millions of
instructions at the same time.
These can perform simultaneous
execution of millions of
instructions at the same time.
These are also pretty large
but smaller than the
supercomputers in size.

Workstation
workstation, a high-performance
computersystem that is basically
designed for a single user and has
advanced graphics capabilities, large
storage capacity, and a powerful central
processing unit. A workstation is more
capable than a personal computer (PC)
but is less advanced than a server
which can manage a large network of
peripheral PCs or workstations and
handle immense data-processing and
reporting tasks.

Typesof computer on the basis of data type
Analog Hybrid Digital
12.
Analog Computer
These computersprocess analog data.
Analog data keep varying. Hence, it does
not have any discrete value. They read the
continuous change in the input, process it,
and then provide the output. Analog
computers perform with equal diligence and
accuracy.
13.
Hybrid Computer
Hybrid computersare a mix of
both analog and digital
computers.
These computers perform a
high level of calculations.
Hybrid computers are quick
and efficient.
They take input in analog
form, convert it into digital
form, and then process it to
produce an output.
14.
Digital Computer
Personal computersare an
example of a digital computer.
These computers accept input in
the form of 0s and 1s. The
computer processes binary input
and provides the output. These
computers perform all the logical
& arithmetical operations.

Conclusion
computers are transformativetools that have reshaped
society. As they continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly
unlock new potentials and challenges. As responsible users, it
is incumbent upon us to harness their power for good while
mitigating potential risks.
