A computer is a machine that performs processes and calculations based on instructions from software or hardware programs. There are several types of computers: - Mainframe computers are large computers used by organizations for critical applications like data processing and transaction processing. - Supercomputers can perform computations at the highest speeds currently possible and are used for scientific and engineering applications involving large databases or calculations. - Personal computers are designed for single user use and were made affordable for individual use, whereas previously computers required shared use among multiple users terminalling into a large computer. - Microcontrollers are self-contained embedded systems with a processor, memory and interfaces that are used to control machinery. - Server computers provide data to other networked

2.  A computer is a machine or device that performs processes,
calculations and operations based on instructions provided
by a software or hardware program. It is designed to execute
applications and provides a variety of solutions by combining
integrated hardware and software components.
DEFINITION OF COMPUTER

4. What is main frame?
Mainframe
computers or mainframes (colloquially referred
to as "big iron") are computers used primarily
by large organizations for critical applications;
bulk data processing, such as census, industry
and consumer statistics, enterprise resource
planning; and transaction processing.

5. What Is Super Computer?
A supercomputer is a computer that performs at or near the currently
highest operational rate for computers. Traditionally, supercomputers have
been used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very
large databases or do a great amount of computation (or both).

6. In its more general usage, a personal computer (PC)
is a microcomputer designed for use by one person at
a time. Prior to the PC, computers were designed for
(and only affordable by) companies who attached
terminals for multiple users to a single
large computer whose resources were shared among
all users.

7. What is microcontroller?
A microcontroller can be considered a
self-contained system with a processor,
memory and peripherals and can
be used as an embedded system. The
majority of microcontrollers in use today
are embedded in other machinery, such
as automobiles, telephones, appliances,
and peripherals for computer systems

8. What is server computer?
A server is a computer that provides data to other computers.
It may serve data to systems on a local area network (LAN)
or a wide area network (WAN) over the Internet. Many types
of servers exist, including web servers, mail servers, and file
servers. Each type runs software specific to the purpose of
the server.

9. A workstation is a special computer designed for technical
or scientific applications. Intended primarily to be used by
one person at a time, they are commonly connected to
a local area network and run multi-user operating systems.
The term workstation has also been used loosely to refer
to everything from a mainframe computer terminal to a PC
connected to a network, but the most common form refers
to the group of hardware offered by several current and
defunct companies such as Sun Microsystems, Silicon
Graphics, Apollo
Computer, DEC, HP, NeXT and IBM which opened the
door for the 3D graphics animation revolution of the late
1990s.
