Q-1 What is the main objective of storage device?
we can say that a storage device is hardware that is used for storing, porting, or
extracting data files. It can also store information/data both temporarily and permanently.
Computer storage is of two types: Primary Storage Devices: It is also known as internal
memory and main memory.
1. Security –
The operating system uses password protection to protect user data and similar other
techniques. it also prevents unauthorized access to programs and user data.
3. Job accounting –
Operating system Keeps track of time and resources used by various tasks and users, this
information can be used to track resource usage for a particular user or group of users.
Keyboard
Mouse
Joy Stick
Light pen
Track Ball
Scanner
KEYBOARD
Keyboard is the most common and very popular input device which helps to input data
to the computer. The layout of the keyboard is like that of traditional typewriter,
although there are some additional keys provided for performing additional functions.
Keyboards are of two sizes 84 keys or 101/102 keys, but now keyboards with 104 keys or 108
keys are also available for Windows and Internet.
MOUSE
Mouse is the most popular pointing device. It is a very famous cursor-control device having
a small palm size box with a round ball at its base, which senses the movement of the
mouse and sends corresponding signals to the CPU when the mouse buttons are
pressed.
Generally, it has two buttons called the left and the right button and a wheel is present
between the buttons. A mouse can be used to control the position of the cursor on the
screen, but it cannot be used to enter text into the computer.
JOYSTICK
Joystick is also a pointing device, which is used to move the cursor position on a
monitor screen. It is a stick having a spherical ball at its both lower and upper ends.
The lower spherical ball moves in a socket. The joystick can be moved in all four
directions.
The function of the joystick is similar to that of a mouse. It is mainly used in Computer
Aided Designing (CAD) and playing computer games.
LIGHT PEN
Light pen is a pointing device similar to a pen. It is used to select a displayed menu item or
draw pictures on the monitor screen. It consists of a photocell and an optical system
placed in a small tube.
When the tip of a light pen is moved over the monitor screen and the pen button is
pressed, its photocell sensing element detects the screen location and sends the
corresponding signal to the CPU.
TRACK BALL
Track ball is an input device that is mostly used in notebook or laptop computer,
instead of a mouse. This is a ball which is half inserted and by moving fingers on the
ball, the pointer can be moved.
Since the whole device is not moved, a track ball requires less space than a mouse. A
track ball comes in various shapes like a ball, a button, or a square.
SCANNER
Scanner is an input device, which works more like a photocopy machine. It is used
when some information is available on paper and it is to be transferred to the hard
disk of the computer for further manipulation.
Scanner captures images from the source which are then converted into a digital form
that can be stored on the disk. These images can be edited before they are printed.
3. Explain the important categories of software.
The Four Types of Computer Software
System
Application
Malicious
Programming
1. System Software
2. Application Software
General Purpose
Custom/Bespoke
3. Malware
These types of software are either high or low level, and this is
explained by the difference in their complexities. Some languages are
also loosely considered mid-level.Writing software in a low-level
language is tough business since the coding must communicate with
hardware architecture directly.
Compiler
Assembler
In addition to high level languages and machine language, there is
another language called the assembly language. Assembly language
is in between the high level languages and machine language. It is
closer to machine language than high level languages. It is also called
low level language. This language is not easily readable and
understandable by the programmer like a high level programming
language. The assembler works as the translator in converting the
assembly language program to machine code.
Menu
A menu contains a list a choices and it allows users to select one from them. A
menu bar is displayed horizontally across the screen such as pull down menu.
When any option is clicked in this menu, then the pull down menu appears.
Another type of menu is the context menu that appears only when the user
performs a specific action. An example of this is pressing the right mouse
button. When this is done, a menu will appear under the cursor.
Icons
Files, programs, web pages etc. can be represented using a small picture
in a graphical user interface. This picture is known as an icon. Using an
icon is a fast way to open documents, run programs etc. because clicking
on them yields instant access.
Controls
Information in an application can be directly read or influences using the
graphical control elements. These are also known as widgets. Normally,
widgets are used to display lists of similar items, navigate the system using
links, tabs etc. and manipulating data using check boxes, radio boxes etc.
Tabs
A tab is associated with a view pane. It usually contains a text label or a graphical icon.
Tabs are sometimes related to widgets and multiple tabs allow users to
switch between different widgets. Tabs are used in various web browsers
such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari etc. Multiple web pages
can be opened in a web browser and users can switch between them using
tabs.
9. Describe the software development process in brief.
Software Development Process Steps
