 Computer science ‫اﻹعﻼم اﻵلي‬
• Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems.
• Computer scientists deal mostly (traiter principalement) with software
systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.
• Principal areas : infographics, concerning algorithms ,artificial intelligence,
computer systems and networks, security, database systems, vision and
graphics, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering
(génie logiciel), bioinformatics …

The French translation is «L’informatique»

 Computer system
• A computer system is divided into two categories:
Hardware and Software.

• Hardware refers to the physical and visible

components of the system such as a monitor,
CPU, keyboard and mouse.

• Sotware refers to a set of instructions which

enable the hardware to perform a specific set of
tasks.
• must be installed in the hardware to function
properly and similarly, the hardware must be
present for the tasks to be performed.
• Both are interdependent, yet they are also
different from each other.

• Store the program in memory
• No distinction between memory for program and data.
• A single set of buses between: CPU-Memory-I/O

 Processor / Primary memory
• The two main components of a computer are the
• Primary memory _ and the Processor _

• The primary memory (PM) stores information ( programs and data ),

while the processor executes the instructions making up the
programs step by step.

 Primary and Secondary memory
• Primary memory : stores temporary data executed by the microprocessor
• Secondary memory ( permanent memory or auxiliary ) : The data does
not get erased even in case of a power failure

 The main Input and Output (I/O)
ports in a computer
• The input/output units, that is the devices that
allow the introduction of data and the display of
the results (keyboard, mouse, monitor, printers,
etc.), are external to the Matherboard, and are
connected through appropriate connectors,
called ports of connection or input/output (I/O).

• In general, each port has the characteristics

suitable for the device to be connected. In
reality the manufacturers try to standardize the
devices so as not to need a myriad of different
doors

 Program concept
A program is a series of elementary instructions, which will be executed
in order by the processor.

 High-Level Language
A high-level language (HLL) is a type of programming language designed to simplify computer
programming and make it more accessible to humans.

Examples of high-level programming languages in active use today include Python, JavaScript, Visual Basic,
Delphi, Perl, PHP, ECMAScript, Ruby, C#, Java and many others

 Difference Between AI and
Algorithms
• AI involves more than just algorithms: AI also incorporates concepts
such as machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, which
allow systems to learn from data and improve their performance over
time.
• AI can create new algorithms: AI can be used to develop algorithms
that are more complex and efficient than those created by humans.
