Human Heads.
Inside many heads, there are two kinds of knowledge, the memory work kind of knowledge and the logical kind of knowledge.

Numbering System
What do you notice about the numbers in those cards ?

1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32

Making all numbers without repeat.

Decimal & Binary

Binary To Dismal Conversion

Keyboard
Typewriter
The invention of the modern computer keyboard began with the invention of the typewriter.

Input & Output
Input is the flow information to from human to the device.
Output is the flow of information from the device to human.

Types of memory
ROM :Read only memory. (volatile).

RAM : Random access memory. (non-volatile). R/W : Read & Write memory.

Challenge: What is the role of RAM in PC?

Memory
RAM
Random Access Memory

ROM
Read Only Memory
BIOS : Basic Input Output System

R/W memory
Drives : HDD, CD Drive, Flash Memory etc.

Compact Disk is Read Only Memory But Microsoft describes it as I/O device

The International System of Units


BIT Binary Information Technology Byte
Binary Yoked Transfer Element

Kilobyte Megabyte Gigabyte

1000 byte

Terabyte??

ASCII Code
American Standard Code for Information Interchange

Each binary value between 0 and 255 is given a specific


character. Try this experiment: Open up a new file in Notepad and insert the sentence, I love programming" in it \ Save

the file to disk under the name p.txt . Then use the explorer and look at the size of the file. You will find that
the file has a size of 18 bytes on disk: 1 byte for each character.

How Computer Work


you do not need to be an auto mechanic to drive a car, also you do not need to understand how

computer work to use it ,but understanding how computer work will help you to think like computer.
Thinking like computer is all you need. trust me.

Computer screens
Example fax machine A fax machine scans a black and white page into about 1000 2000 pixels which are sent, using a modem to another fax machine, which prints the pixels out on a page.

Computer screens are divided up into a grid of small dots called pixels.

Turn on your computer..

Central Processing Unit


The Brain Of Computers Speed of cups (clock) measured in Hz Hertz A CPU performs three basic functions

accepts input

processes data

provides output.

. : "

" .

Clock
Clock is a signal used to sync things inside the compute.

The CPU knows how many clock cycles each instruction will take, because it has a table which lists this information.

Modern processors have several execution units working in parallel.
