Introduction to Computers:

Meaning of a Computer:
 Computer is a machine that can solve problems by accepting data performing certain
operations andpresenting the results of those operations under the direction of detailed step- by-
step instructions.
 Such a set of sequenced instructions, which cause a computer to perform particular operations,
iscalled a program.
 The term computer has been derived from theword “COMPUTE” which means calculate.

Definition of a computer

 Computer is an electronic device, used for performing calculations and controllingoperations that
be either expressed in logical or numerical terms.

 It stores and process data in binary form according to instructions given to it in avariable program.

 Computer need to be told exactly what to do and how to do to accomplish a task


 It is a combination of hardware and software.
 Software is the set of instructions given to the computer to perform a task.
 The physical parts that make up computer are called hardware, whichare made of circuits and transistors

The three main operations of computer are

1. Takes in data and instructions (input)


2. works with the data (processing)
3. puts out information (output)
Characteristics of a Computer:

The following are the main characteristics of a computer-

1. Speed: Computer is able to process the data and give the output in fractions of seconds
such that required information is available to the user on time and hence enables him to
take right decisions at the right time.

2. Accuracy:Computer is error free. There is no scope for inaccuracy in the results given by the
computer. Incorrect calculations, errors, mistake do not take place in a computer system.

3. Reliable:
Today, computer is extensively used because of their reliability. The output
generated by the computer is very reliable to the extent that the input is reliable.

4. Storage capacity: Another important characteristic of a computer is that it has brain of its
own with brilliant memory. It can accept and store any information for a long time. It stores
large amount of data and can recall information instantly .The main memory of the computer
is relatively small and holds certain amount of information. Therefore the data is stored in
secondary memory

5. Versatile:The computer performs three basic operations. It accepts information from the
user; secondly it performs the basic arithmetic operations and logical operations and
finally generates the desired output in the desired form.

6. Automatic (Programmable): Computer is a device, which is more than a calculator.


Once instructions are given to the system it works automatically without any human
intervention until the completion of program until it meets logical instruction to terminate
the job.

7. Diligent: A computer is a device, which is indefatigable (untiring) and therefore does


not feel tired nor gets distracted like a human being. All the instructions are performed at
same speed and accuracy

8. Recreation:In recent years, computers were used mainly for entertainment and
amusement, like computer games and other programs, computer animation gives life and
movement to inanimate objects. Multimedia too helped in popularizing the use of computers.

9. Networking capacity: A computer can be connected with other computers. This feature of
connectivity with other computers leads to the evolution of computer networking.

10. Compactness: Now-a-day’s size of computers has decreased o lot due to increased technology. The
laptop and Notebook computers can be taken outside.
Elements of a Computer:

A computer consists of three basic elements/components such as hardware, software


and memory.

Hardware:

 The physical devices that make up a computer are referred to as hardware.


 It includes the tangible aspects of computers and can be touched such as mouse,
printers, monitor, microphone, scanner etc.
 Hardware is usually used for input and output purposes. It takes instructionsfrom the user
from input devices such as mouse, key board etc and displays the output (after
processing) on the other hardware devices such as monitor, LCDs, scanner, printers etc.

Software:

 The software of the computer includes operating system which executes allthe
programs and instructions given by the user.
 The computer software itself is categorized into two
SOFTWARE

SYSTEM SOFTWARE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

System Software

 It is collection of programs designed to operate, control, and extend the processing


capabilities of the computer itself.

 System software are generally prepared by computer manufactures. These software


products comprise of programs written in low-level languages which interact with
the hardware at a very basic level.

 System software serves as the interface between hardware and the end users.

 Includes the software execution by the computer itself such as Windows and DOS.
Application Software

Application software products are designed to satisfy a particular need of a particular


Environment.

Application software may consist of a single program, such as a Microsoft's notepad for writing and
editing simple text.

It may also consist of a collection of programs, often called a software package, which work
together to accomplish a task, such as a spreadsheet package.

Memory:

 The memory of the computer can also be categorized under hardware but sometimes it is
considered as a separate element of the computer system.

 Memory allows the user to store the data and processes performed by the computer.

Memory is divided mainly into RAM, ROM and secondary storage devices.

 All these components are essential for the effective functioning of computer system
Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Central Processing Unit (CPU)


 The full form of CPU is Central Processing Unit . It is a brain of the computer. All types of data
processing operations and all the important functions of a computer are performed by the CPU.
 It helps input and output devices to communicate with each other and perform their respective
operations. It also stores data which is input, intermediate results in between processing, and
instructions.

Different Parts of CPU


Now, the CPU consists of 3 major units, which are:
1. Memory or Storage Unit
2. Control Unit
3. ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
Let us now look at the block diagram of the computer:

Here, in this diagram, the three major components are also shown. So, let us discuss these major components:
Memory or Storage Unit
 As the name suggests this unit can store instructions, data, and intermediate results. The memory unit is
responsible for transferring information to other units of the computer when needed.
 It is also known as an internal storage unit or the main memory or the primary storage or Random
Access Memory (RAM) as all these are storage devices.
 Its size affects speed, power, and performance. There are two types of memory in the computer, which
are primary memory and secondary memory.
Some main functions of memory units are listed below:
 Data and instructions are stored in memory units which are required for processing.
 It also stores the intermediate results of any calculation or task when they are in process.
 The final results of processing are stored in the memory units before these results are released to an output
device for giving the output to the user.
 All sorts of inputs and outputs are transmitted through the memory unit.
Control Unit
 As the name suggests, a control unit controls the operations of all parts of the computer but it does
not carry out any data processing operations. For executing already stored instructions, It instructs the
computer by using the electrical signals to instruct the computer system.
 It takes instructions from the memory unit and then decodes the instructions after that it executes
those instructions. So, it controls the functioning of the computer. It’s main task is to maintain the
flow of information across the processor.
Some main functions of the control unit are listed below:
 Controlling of data and transfer of data and instructions is done by the control unit among other parts of
the computer.
 The control unit is responsible for managing all the units of the computer.
 The main task of the control unit is to obtain the instructions or data which is input from the memory unit,
interprets them, and then directs the operation of the computer according to that.
 The control unit is responsible for communication with Input and output devices for the transfer of data or
results from memory.
 The control unit is not responsible for the processing of data or storing data.

ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)


ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is responsible for performing arithmetic and logical functions or operations. It
consists of two subsections, which are:
 Arithmetic Section
 Logic Section
Now, let us know about these subsections:
Arithmetic Section:
 By arithmetic operations, we mean operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,
and all these operation and functions are performed by ALU. Also, all the complex operations are
done by making repetitive use of the mentioned operations by ALU.
Logic Section:
 By Logical operations, we mean operations or functions like selecting, comparing, matching, and
merging the data, and all these are performed by ALU.
Note: CPU may contain more than one ALU and it can be used for maintaining timers that help run the
computer system.

MEMORY

The memory is that part of the computer where programs and data are stored. There are
two types of memory:
1. Primary Memory
2. Secondary Memory
MEMORY

PRIMARY MEMORY SECONDARY MEMORY

MAGNE
RAM ROM CACHE REGISTER MAGNE OPTI
TIC TIC CAL
DISK TAPES DISK

PRIMARY MEMORY (MAIN MEMORY):

o Primary memory holds only those data and instructions on which computer is
currentlyworking.

o It has limited capacity and data is lost when power is switched off. It is
generally made upf semiconductor device. These memories are not as fast as
registers.

o The data and instruction required to be processed reside in main memory.


Primary storage or main memory stores three types of information for very brief
periods of time:

 Data to be processed by the CPU.


 Instructions for the CPU as to how to process the data.
 Operating system programs that manage various aspects of the computer’s operation.

There are four main types of primary storage


1. Random access memory (RAM)
2. Read-only memory (ROM).
3. Cache memory and
4. Register

Random Access Memory(RAM):

This is that part of primary storage where data and program instructions are held
temporarily while being manipulated and executed.

It is called Random Access Memory because any of the locations on a chip can be
randomly selected and used to directly store and retrieve data and instructions.

RAM is volatile i.e. it is depends on a steady supply of electricity and when the power isshut off,
everything stored is lost.

Access time in RAM is independent of the address i.e., each storage location inside the
memory is as easy to reach as other locations and takes the same amount of time.

Data in the RAM can be accessed randomly but it is very expensive.

RAM chip may be classified as:

Static RAM chip: It also provides volatile storage, but as long as it is supplied with power, it
needs no special regenerator circuits to retain the stored data.

Static RAM chips are more complicated and take up more space than dynamic RAM chips.
Therefore, static RAMs are used in specialized applications while dynamic RAMs are used in
primary storage section.

Other types of RAM


are:  SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM)
 DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM)
 Rambus DRAM (RDRAM)
Dynamic RAM chip (DRAM)

DRAM, unlike SRAM, must be continually refreshed inorder to maintain the data. This
is done by placing the memory on a refresh circuit that rewrites the data several hundred
times per second.
DRAM is used for most system memory because it is cheap and small.

Read Only Memory (ROM):

 Read only memory chip contains the stored data when the supply is cut. So, unlike RAM chips,
ROM chips are non-volatile.

 ROM chip may contain micro program control instructions that cause the machine to perform
certain information such as starting the computer or instructions to the Operating System.

 ROM chip can only read. It doesn’t accept any input data on instructions from user. The actual
contents are set by the manufacturers andthey are unchanged and permanent.

 ROM chips are not only used in the computer but also in other electronic items like washing
machine and microwave oven. ROM is mainly of three types:

Programmable read only memory (PROM)

 Allows a chip to be programmed by the user for converting critical and lengthy
operations into micro programs that are fused into a chip.

 The user buys a blank PROM and enters the desired contents using a PROM program.
 Inside the PROM chip there are small fuses which are burnt open during programming.

 It can be programmed only once and is not erasable. Once they are in a hardware form,
they can be executed at a very high speed and can’t be altered.

Erasable PROM (EPROM)

The EPROM chip has a small window on top allowing it to be erased by exposing it to
ultra-violet light for duration of up to 40 minutes.

After reprogramming the window is covered to prevent new contents being erased

Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM)

It can be erased and reprogrammed about ten thousand times. Both erasing and
programming take about 4 to 10 ms (milli second).

In EEPROM, any location can be selectively erased and programmed. EEPROMs can
be erased one byte at a time, rather than erasing the entire chip.

Hence, the process of re-programming is flexible but slow.


Cache Memory:

Cache memory is typically integrated


directly with the CPU chip or placed
on a separate chip.

Many processors also have built-in


specialized storage elements that are used for
specific processing and control purposes.

A computer microprocessor can access


more quickly than it can access regular RAM.

The basic purpose of cache memory is to store program instructions that are frequentlyre-
referenced by software during operation.

Fast access to these instructions increases the overall speed of the software program.

One element used during processing operations is a high speed Buffer Memory (cache memory),
which is both fast and expensive, as compared to primary storage.

It is a small amount of memory typically of 256 or 512 kilobytes.

L1 and L2 are levels of cache memory in a computer.

L1 is "level-1" cache memory, usually built onto the microprocessor chip itself.

L2 (that is, level-2) cache memory is on a separate chip that can be accessed more quickly
than the larger "main" memory.

Registers

Registers are a special high-speed storage area within the CPU. All data must be represented in a
register before it can be processed.

For example, if two numbers are to be multiplied,The number of registers that a CPU has and
the size of each (number of bits) help determine the power and speed of a CPU.

For example a 32-bit CPU is one in which each register is 32 bits wide. Therefore, each CPU
instruction can manipulate 32 bits of data.
SECONDARY MEMORY:

Secondary (Auxiliary) storage is the non-volatile memory that is stored externally to the
computer.

A secondary medium usually used for the storage of large amount of data for permanent
or long-term storage of data or programs.

While the secondary media can hold much more data than primary storage, access to the data is
slower.

Capacity: A simple diskette for a personal computer holds the equivalent of 500 printed
pages, or one book. An optical disk can hold the equivalent of approximately 400 books.

Reliability: Data in secondary storage is basically safe, since secondary storage is physically
reliable. Also, it is more difficult for unscrupulous people to tamper with data on disk than
data stored on paper in a file cabinet.

Convenience: With the help of a computer, authorized people can locate and access data
quickly. Different secondary storage media can be ranked according to the following
criteria:

Retrieval speed - The access time of a storage device is the time it takes to locate and retrieve
the stored data. A fast access time is preferable for any storage media.

Storage capacity- A device’s storage capacity is the ability to store data. A large storage
capacity is desired.

Cost per bit of capacity- Low cost is preferred. Secondary storage media with all sizes of computers
can be broadly categorized into:

1. Magnetic tape.
2. Magnetic disk.
3. Optical disk.

Magnetic tape:

Magnetic tape is a one-half or one-fourth inch ribbon of Mylar (a plastic like material) coated with a
thin layer of iron-oxide material.

It is a medium that is often selected to store large files that are sequentially accessed and processed.
Its data density (the number of characters that can be stored in a given physical space) is high and its
transfer rate (the speed with which data can be copied into processor storage) is fast.
Magnetic disk:

A magnetic disk is a Mylar or metallic platter on which electronic data are stored. Unlike
magnetic tapes, data on magnetic disks can also be read randomly.

The data are recorded as tiny invisible magnetic spots on its iron oxide coating.

It consists of two or more metal platters mounted on central spindle like a stack.

Each platter is covered with a magnetic coating, and the entire unit is encased in a sealed
chamber.

The access time for data stored on a magnetic disk is determined by two factors:

 The seek time i.e. the time required for positioning read/write headover the proper
track.

 The search time i.e. the time requiredfor spinning the


required data under the head.

Magnetic disks come in various sizes. They can be portable


or permanently mounted in their storage devices, disk drives.
They can be made of rigid metal (Hard Disks) or flexible
plastic (Floppy Diskettes).

Optical Technology:

Optical technology involves the use of laser beams highly concentrated beams of light.
It comes in the form of Optical laser disk, Optical card and Optical tape.

Optical Laser Disk: A common version of the optical disk is the


CD- ROM (compact disk, read–only memory). While not suited to
applications where data changes, they are very convenient for storing data
that remains constant.

CD-ROM [Compact Disc Read Only Memory] is a Compact Disc


contains data accessible by a computer.
INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES:

INPUT: Input is the process of entering and translating incoming data in machine- readable
form. The data to be entered are often referred as input. Input process involves data
preparation, processing and accuracy checks.

There are two types of input device: manual and automatic.

A Manual Input Device requires a human hand to control i.e. (Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner,
Camera, track ball, joystick, and Graphics tablet.)

An Automatic Input Device inputs data without the need for human intervention (once the
device has been set up), e.g. MICR, OMR, barcode reader, webcam, microphone.

OUTPUT: The result of processing is also often referred as output.


Output that can be understood by humans can be in the form two types: Hard copy &Soft
copy.

Hard Copy is the output on paper and can be read immediately or stored and read later.
This is a relatively stable and permanent form of output.

Soft Copy is usually a screen-displayed output. It is a transient form of output and is lost
when the computer is turned off.
INPUT DEVICES:

An input device is a peripheral device through which data are entered and transformed
into machine-readable form.
Let us have a look at various input devices available.

Keyboards

Standard keyboard is the most common and familiar input


device. A typical computer keyboard contains all letters, numbers,
symbols of a regular typewriter, plus other keys.
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.

S.No. Keys Description


These keys include the letter keys (A-Z) and digits keys (0-9)
1 Typing Keys
which generally give same layout as that of typewriters.
It is used to enter numeric data or cursor movement.
2 Numeric Keypad Generally, it consists of a set of 17 keys that are laid out in
the same configuration used by most adding machine and
calculators.
The twelve functions keys are present on the keyboard. These
3 Function Keys are arranged in a row along the top of the keyboard. Each
function key has unique meaning and is used for some
specific purpose.
These keys provide cursor and screen control. It includes four
4 Control keys directional arrow key. Control keys also include Home, End,
Insert, Delete, Page Up, Page Down, Control(Ctrl),
Alternate(Alt), Escape(Esc).
Keyboard also contains some special purpose keys such as
5 Special Purpose Keys Enter, Shift, Caps Lock, Num Lock, Space bar, Tab, and
Print Screen.

Every key on the keyboard underneath it consists of a tiny chip called as keyboard
controller, when a key is pressed the controller places the code into the part of the memory
called keyboard buffer.

The buffer temporarily holds the data till it is processed. The signal the keyboard sends to
the computer is called as interrupt.

The keyboard sends an interrupt request to the system software and the data is processed.
Mouse

A mouse is a pointing device. It usually contains one or three buttons: as the user rolls it
on a flat surface, the mouse controls cursor movement on the screen.
When the user presses one of the buttons, the mouse either marks a place on the screen
or makes selections from data on the screen.
It can be used for many applications ranging from games to designing products with
graphics. It can be used as an alternative to keyboard or it can be used in combination with a
keyboard to enhance input operations.

Advantages:

 Easy to use
 Not very expensive
 Moves the cursor faster than the arrow keys of keyboard.

Scanners

Optical Recognition when a device scans a printed surface and translates the image the
scanner sees into a machine-readable format that is understandable by the computer.

Optical Recognition can be of the following types

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)

It uses mark sensing to scan and translate, based on its location,


which is a series of pen or pencil marks into a computer readable form.
For instance, the objective type multiple choice question paper we get in
the bank recruitment exam.

A computerized optical mark reader scores the tests by identifying


the position of the mark

Optical Bar Recognition (OBR)

This is slightly more sophisticated type of optical recognition. An optical


bar reader recognizes and interprets bar codes or product codes which are
arranged to represent data, such as the name of the manufacturer, and the type
of the product etc.

on the basis of the width of the lines. A scanner reads the bar code, and
the computer then matches the price and product.

Optical character recognition (OCR)


This is most sophisticated type of optical recognition. An optical card
reader works in much the same way as a human eye.

It recognizes specially shaped numerical and alphabetic characters.

MICR (MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER RECOGNITION)


 MICR systems use special ink which can be magnetized, to print characters that canthen be read
and decoded by special magnetic devices.
 The common E13B font is used to write these special kinds of cheques.
 E13B font contains 0-9 numbers & 4 symbols.
 Detection of characters is a two step process.
 First MICR Reader-Sorter reads the data on cheques & sorts the cheques fordistribution for
further processing.
 The reading station is used to sense and identify the magnetic characters as theypass through.
Magnetized characters are read by the head. E.g. MICR is used in Banks to cheques the MICR systems
WHAT IS OUTPUT DEVICE
 The output devices are the devices which are used to display the resultgenerated by the
computer system.
 Monitor, printer, plotter, speaker are the example of output devices.
MONITER
The monitor is the common output device mostly used It is a softcopy outputdevice.
It can be thought of as a high resolution TV set.
The monitor can also determine if the display will be colour, black and white, orinclude graphical objects
(pictures).
Two types of monitors are used.
CRT monitors.
Non CRT
monitors.
RT monitors
Most computer monitors are based on Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology.
The basic operation of these tubes is similar to that in television sets.
In CRT display CRT is a specialised vacuum tube in which images are producedwhen electron beam
strikes a phosphor surface.
CRT monitor contains cathode, control grid, acceleration anode, deflection plates& phosphor coated screen.
Cathode: the cathode is heated by filament and produced high speed & largeamount of electrons.
Control Grid: used to control the brightness of the screen. It controls the numberof electrons.
Accelerating anodes: they are with focusing lens are applied with positiveelectrons.
Horizontal deflection plate: moves electron side by side.
Vertical deflection: moves electrons up & down.
Screen: contains millions of tiny red, green, blue phosphor dot that glow whenstruck by electron beam that
travels across screen to create a visible image.

NON CRT DISPLAY.

1. LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)


In LCD, a liquid crystalline material is sandwiched between two glass or a plasticplates.
The front plate is transparent and the back plate is reflective.
There is a coating of thin film on the front plate.
The coating is transparent and conductive. Its sections (segments) are in theshape of desired characters.
LCDs do not emit their own light. Therefore, a light source is to be used.
LCDs simply change the reflection of available light. Today, most LCDs used areof the type that produces
dark images on a silver background.
2. PDP (Plasma Displays Panel) OR LED
 In Plasma Displays, ionized gas is sandwiched between two glass plates.
 A number of parallel wires run horizontally as well as vertically.
 A small amount of current is passed through one horizontal and one vertical wireto cause the gas to glow at
a spot at the intersection of the wires.
 The IBM 581 display employs 960 horizontal and 768 vertical pixel as comparedto IBM-PC colour
graphic adapter which is provided with 320 X 200 pixels in medium resolution and 640 X 200 in high
resolution. Printer
The printer is a most commonly used output device.
It is used to producing the hard copy output.
It prints characters, symbols & graphics on the paper.
Printer can be categorised according to the technology used in printer, speed,and approach of
printing, colours, language & the quality of printing.
ainly printer can be classified in two types:

Operating System
An operating system (OS) is a type of system software that manages a computer’s hardware and software
resources. It provides common services for computer programs.
An OS acts as a link between the software and the hardware. It controls and keeps a record of the execution of all
other programs that are present in the computer, including application programs and other system software.
Functions of Operating System
1. Memory Management :
It is the management of the main or primary memory. Whatever program is executed, it has to be present in the
main memory. Main memory is a quick storage area that may be accessed directly by the CPU. When the
program is completed, the memory region is released and can be used by other programs. Therefore, there can be
more than one program present at a time. Hence, it is required to manage the memory.
The operating system do in memory management listed below:
Allocates and de allocates the memory.
Keeps a record of which part of primary memory is used by whom and how much.
Distributes the memory while multiprocessing.
In multiprogramming, the operating system selects which processes acquire memory when and how much
memory ey get.
2. Processor Management/Scheduling
Every software that runs on a computer, whether in the background or in the frontend, is a process. Processor
management is an execution unit in which a program operates.
The operating system determines the status of the processor and processes, selects a job and its processor,
allocates the processor to the process, and de allocates the processor after the process is completed.
When more than one process runs on the system the OS decides how and when a process will use the CPU.
Hence, the name is also CPU Scheduling.
The OS: Allocates and de allocates processor to the processes.
Keeps record of CPU status.
3. Device Management
An operating system regulates device connection using drivers. The processes may require devices for their use.
Allocates and de allocates devices to different processes.
Keeps records of the devices.
Decides which process can use which device for how much time.
4. File Management
The operating system manages resource allocation and de-allocation. It specifies which process receives the file
and for how long. It also keeps track of information, location, uses, status, and so on. These groupings of
resources are referred to as file systems. The files on a system are stored in different directories.
The OS:
Keeps records of the status and locations of files
. Allocates and de allocates resources.
 Decides who gets the resources.
5. Storage Management
Storage management is a procedure that allows users to maximize the utilization of storage devices while also
protecting data integrity on whatever media on which it lives.
Network virtualization, replication, mirroring, security, compression, de duplication, traffic analysis, process
automation, storage provisioning, and memory management are some of the features that may be included.
The operating system is in charge of storing and accessing files. The creation of files, the creation of
directories, the reading and writing of data from files and directories, as well as the copying of the contents of
files and directories from one location to another are all included in storage management.

MS-DOS Operating System


A disk operating system (DOS) is an operating system for x86 based personal computers mostly developed by
Microsoft. MS-DOS, its rebranding as IBM PC DOS, and some operating systems attempting to be compatible
with MS-DOS. Sometimes it is referred to as "DOS", which is also the generic acronym for disk operating
system.

MS-DOS was the main operating system for IBM PC compatible personal computers during the 1980s. It was
gradually superseded by operating systems offering a graphical user interface (GUI) in various graphical
Microsoft Windows operating system generations.
Features of DOS

o MS-DOS does not offer GUI (Graphical User Interface) and doesn't accept mouse inputs. It is a character-
based interface system where all commands are entered in the text at the command-line prompt.
o A disk operating system manages files, folders and allows program loading and execution. It can control
hardware devices such as disk, memory and allocate resources.
o MS-DOS offers a file system to organize, read and write files to the disk storage.
o It is a single-user operating system and performs various tasks to ensure the proper operation of systems.
o It uses a 16-bit file allocation table (FAT16), and a 16-bit interface is used to define the location of the
memory of each file uniquely. These identifiers are stored in a tabular format with the name File
Allocation table.
o MS-DOS does not support a multiuser operating system, and it is less secure and does not have a concept
of user roles. It is very lightweight due to its basic interface and limited features.

UNIX operating system


UNIX is a powerful Operating System initially developed by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell
laboratories in 1970. It is prevalent among scientific, engineering, and academic institutions due to its most
appreciative features like multitasking, flexibility, and many more. In UNIX, the file system is a hierarchical
structure of files and directories where users can store and retrieve information using the files.

Features of UNIX Operating System:

Let's discuss the features of UNIX OS one by one in detail.

Multitasking: A UNIX operating system is a multitasking operating system that allows you to initiate more
than one task from the same terminal so that one task is performed as a foreground and the other task as a
background process.

Multi-user: UNIX operating system supports more than one user to access computer resources like main
memory, hard disk, tape drives, etc. Multiple users can log on to the system from different terminals and run
different jobs that share the resources of a command terminal.

Portability: This feature makes the UNIX work on different machines and platforms with the easy transfer of
code to any computer system.

File Security and Protection: Being a multi-user system, UNIX makes special consideration for file and system
security.

Command Structure: UNIX commands are easy to understand and simple to use. Example: "cp", mv etc. While
working in the UNIX environment, the UNIX commands are case-sensitive and are entered in lower case.

Communication: In UNIX, communication is an excellent feature that enables the user to communicate
worldwide.
Open Source: UNIX operating system is open source it means it is freely available to all and is a community-
based development project.

Accounting: UNIX keeps an account of jobs created by the user. This feature enhances the system performance
in terms of CPU monitoring and disk space checking.

Introduction to Linux
Linux is an open-source Unix-like operating system-based family on the Linux kernel, and the OS kernel was first
published on 17 September 1991 by Linus Torvalds.

Famous Linux distributions are Ubuntu, Fedora Linux, and Debian, the latter of which is composed of several
different modifications and distributions, including Xubuntu and Lubuntu. Commercial distributions are SUSE
Linux Enterprise and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Uses of Linux OS
Web servers
W3Cook releases stats that utilize the top 1,000,000 Alexa domains, which estimate that 96.55% of web servers
use Linux, 1.73% use Windows, and 1.72% use FreeBSD as of May 2015.
Laptops and desktops
As of May 2022, the estimated Linux market share is around 2.5% on desktop computers, according to web server
statistics. Microsoft Windows include a market share of approximately 75.5%, while macOS has around 14.9%.
Mobile devices
Android has become the leading OS for smartphones which is Linux kernel-based. In July 2022, 71.9% of
smartphones worldwide using the internet used Android. Also, Android is a famous OS for tablets, being liable for
more than 60% of table sales as of 2013.
Film production
Linux has been the preferred platform in the film industry for years. The first big film released on a Linux server
was 1997's Titanic. Since then, big studios, including Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, Pixar, and
DreamWorks Animation, have relocated to Linux.
Government use
Linux distros have also got popularity in several national and local governments. Kerala has gone to the mandating
extent that every state high school use Linux on their systems. China utilizes Linux exclusively as the OS for its
Loongson processor family for achieving technology independence.
A few regions have integrated their Linux distribution in Spain, which is extensively used in official and
educational institutions. Also, Germany and France have taken steps toward Linux adoption.

What is a Programming Language


 A programming language is a computer language that is used by programmers (developers) to
communicate with computers. It is a set of instructions written in any specific language ( C, C++,
Java, Python) to perform a specific task.
 A programming language is mainly used to develop desktop applications, websites, and mobile
applications.
What is the need for programming languages?

Several software packages are made using programming languages, together with:

Types of programming language


1. Low-level programming language

Low-level language is machine-dependent (0s and 1s) programming language. The processor runs low- level
programs directly without the need of a compiler or interpreter, so the programs written in low-level language
can be run very fast.

Low-level language is further divided into two parts -

i. Machine Language

Machine language is a type of low-level programming language. It is also called as machine code or object code.
Machine language is easier to read because it is normally displayed in binary or hexadecimal form (base 16) form.
It does not require a translator to convert the programs because computers directly understand the machine
language programs.

The advantage of machine language is that it helps the programmer to execute the programs faster than the high-
level programming language.

ii. Assembly Language

Assembly language (ASM) is also a type of low-level programming language that is designed for specific
processors. It represents the set of instructions in a symbolic and human-understandable form. It uses an
assembler to convert the assembly language to machine language.

The advantage of assembly language is that it requires less memory and less execution time to execute a program.

2. High-level programming language

High-level programming language (HLL) is designed for developing user-friendly software programs and
websites. This programming language requires a compiler or interpreter to translate the program into machine
language (execute the program).

The main advantage of a high-level language is that it is easy to read, write, and maintain

High-level programming language includes Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, C#, C++, Objective C, Cobol, Perl,
Pascal, LISP, FORTRAN, and Swift programming language.

A high-level language is further divided into three parts -

i. Procedural Oriented programming language

Procedural Oriented Programming (POP) language is derived from structured programming and based upon the
procedure call concept. It divides a program into small procedures called routines or functions.

Procedural Oriented programming language is used by a software programmer to create a program that can be
accomplished by using a programming editor like IDE, Adobe Dreamweaver, or Microsoft Visual Studio.

ii. Object-Oriented Programming language


Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language is based upon the objects. In this programming language,
programs are divided into small parts called objects. It is used to implement real-world entities like inheritance,
polymorphism, abstraction, etc in the program to makes the program resusable, efficient, and easy-to-use.

The main advantage of object-oriented programming is that OOP is faster and easier to execute, maintain, modify,
as well as debug.

iii. Natural language

Natural language is a part of human languages such as English, Russian, German, and Japanese. It is used by
machines to understand, manipulate, and interpret human's language. It is used by developers to perform tasks
such as translation, automatic summarization, Named Entity Recognition (NER), relationship extraction,
and topic segmentation.

Increase the First Line Indent value if you want the punctuation in long lists to be aligned.
For example, if you want “9.” and “10.” to be aligned on the period, change the Alignment to
Right and gradually increase the first line indent until the numbers align (make sure Preview is turned

the list.
Paragraphs that are part of the same list are numbered sequentially. These paragraphs do not
have to be consecutive to one another as long as you define a list for the paragraphs.
You can also create a multi-level list, in which list items are numbered in outline form and are
indented by different degrees.
STEP 1:Open the Bullets And Numbering dialog box.
STEP 2:Under Numbering Style, select the type of numbering you want to use from the Format menu.
STEP 3:In the Number box, use the default expression—period (.) and tab space (^t)—or construct a
number expression of your own. To enter a number expression, delete the period after the number
metacharacter (^#) and do one of the following:
STEP 4:Type a character (such as a closing parenthesis) or more than one character in place of the
period.
STEP 5:Choose a character style for the expression. (The style you choose applies to the entire number
expression, not just to the number.)
For Mode, choose one of the following options:
Continue From Previous Number
Numbers lists sequentially.

Paragraph alignment:

To align or justify text, move your cursor into the paragraph you want to change, then click
the left-align, right-align, centered, or justify buttons.

Alignment is how text flows in relation to the rest of the page (or column, table cell, text box, etc.).
There are four main alignments: left, right, center, and justified.

 Left-aligned text is text that is aligned with a left edge.


 Right-aligned text is text that is aligned with a right edge.
 Centered text is text that is centered between two edges.

Justification controls the spacing between words. A justified text increases the space between words to
fill the entire line so that it is aligned with both the left and right edges.

Indentation:

In many documents, indenting is a good way to distinguish the start of a new paragraph, especially
when there is no paragraph spacing.

To indent, hit the Tab key once on your keyboard at the start of a paragraph.

One tab at the beginning of the first line of a paragraph. For more

Paragraph Dialog Box: Indentation

Open the paragraph dialog box by clicking the small arrow icon in the bottom-right corner of the
Paragraph group.
The indentation section is toward the middle of the dialog box.

The Left and Right settings indent the entire paragraph to the left and right.

The Special drop down menu allows you to choose to indent the first line of the paragraph or to
create a hanging indent.
Upon choosing First or Hanging, another field will appear to let you choose how big the first line
or hanging indent will be.

Header and footing:


The header is a section of the document that appears in the top margin, while the footer is a
section of the document that appears in the bottom margin.

Headers and footers generally contain additional information such as page


numbers, dates, an author's name, and footnotes, which can help keep longer documents
organized and make them easier to read.

Text entered in the header or footer will appear on each page of the document.

To create a header or footer:

In our example, we want to display the author's name at the top of each page, so we'll place it in the
header.

STEP 1:Double-click anywhere on the top or bottom margin of your document. In our example,
we'll double-click the top margin.
STEP 2:The header or footer will open, and a Design tab will appear on the right side of the Ribbon.
The insertion point will appear in the header or footer.

STEP 3:Type the desired information into the header or footer. In our example, we'll type the author's
name and the date.

STEP 4:When you're finished, click Close Header and Footer. You can also press the Esc key.

STEP 5:The header or footer text will appear.


To insert a preset header or footer:

Word has a variety of preset headers and footers you can use to enhance your document's design
and layout. In our example, we'll add a preset header to our document.

STEP 1:Select the Insert tab, then click the Header or Footer command. In our example, we'll click
the Header command.

STEP 2:In the menu that appears, select the desired preset header or footer.

STEP 3:The header or footer will appear. Many preset headers and footers contain text placeholders
called Content Control fields. These fields are good for adding information like the document
title, author's name, date, and page number.

STEP 4:To edit a Content Control field, click it and type the desired information.
STEP 5:When you're finished, click Close Header and Footer. You can also press the Esc key.

STEP 6:If you want to delete a Content Control field, right-click it and select Remove Content
Control from the menu that appears.

Editing headers and footers

After you close the header or footer, it will still be visible, but it will be locked.
Simply double-click a header or footer to unlock it, which will allow you to edit it.
Design tab options

When your document's header and footer are unlocked, the Design tab will appear on the right side
of the Ribbon, giving you various editing options:

Hide the first-page header and footer: For some documents, you may not want the first page to show
the header and footer, like if you have a cover page and want to start the page numbering on the
second page. If you want to hide the first-page header and footer, check the box next to Different First
Page.

Remove the header or footer: If you want to remove all information contained in the header, click
the Header command and select Remove Header from the menu that appears. Similarly, you can
remove a footer using the Footer command.

Page Number: You can automatically number each page with the Page Number command. Review
our Page Numbers lesson to learn more.
Additional options: With the commands available in the Insert group, you can add the date and
time, document info, pictures, and more to your header or footer.

To insert the date or time into a header or footer:

Sometimes it's helpful to include the date or time in the header or footer. For example, you may
want your document to show the date when it was created.

On the other hand, you may want to show the date when it was printed, which you can do by
setting it to update automatically. This is useful if you frequently update and print a document
because you'll always be able to tell which version is the most recent.

STEP 1:Double-click anywhere on the header or footer to unlock it. Place the insertion point where
you want the date or time to appear. In our example, we'll place the insertion point on the line below the
author's name.

STEP 2:The Design tab will appear. Click the Date & Time command.

STEP 3:The Date and Time dialog box will appear. Select the desired date or time format.
STEP 4:Check the box next to Update automatically if you want the date to change every time you
open the document. If you don't want the date to change, leave this option unchecked.
STEP 5:Click OK.
The date will appear in the header.

What is an Excel Worksheet?


An Excel worksheet is a software program/document that collects rows and columns designed to
store information in an organized manner.

An Excel worksheet also enables users to apply mathematical and statistical logic to the data and
manipulate it according to the requirements of the business strategies.

So, this was a brief introduction to Excel Worksheet. In the next section, you will learn how to
create a new Excel Worksheet.

How to Create an Excel Worksheet?

To create a new Excel worksheet, you need to follow the steps mentioned below.

By default, when you start Microsoft Excel, there is an option of selecting a variety of worksheets,
as shown below.

You can select the option based on the requirements. For now, create a blank worksheet. The blank
worksheet looks as shown below.
Insert a New Excel Worksheet

There might be a situation where you would need to include another worksheet along the side of
the existing worksheet. This collection of Excel Worksheets is called an Excel Workbook.

To insert a new worksheet, you can right-click on the sheet name in the bottom sheet tracker tray,
as shown below.

By selecting the new worksheet option from the available options, you can create a new worksheet
as displayed below.
A new dialogue box will appear on the screen, where you can select the option to include a new
sheet.

In the next part, you will learn how to rename a worksheet.

Rename Excel Worksheet

You can rename the Excel Worksheet by right-clicking on the sheet name and selecting the rename
option from the dialogue box as shown below.

In the next segment, you will learn how to delete a worksheet.

Delete Excel Worksheet

If you wish to eliminate the Excel Worksheet, you must right-click onto the worksheet tab and
select the delete option from the dialogue box as shown below.
Worksheets in Excel can also be hidden. Now, you will see how that can be done.

Hide Excel Worksheet

Sometimes, you might have to keep a particular worksheet hidden. You can achieve this
by right-clicking the worksheet name on the worksheet tray and selecting the hide option from
the dialogue box, as shown below.

If you want to unhide the hidden worksheet, you can right-click on the existing worksheet and
choose the option of Unhide, as shown below.
The following dialogue box will show the list of hidden sheets, and you can choose the sheet you
wish to unhide, as shown below.

In the next part, you will learn to move or copy an Excel Worksheet.

Move or Copy an Excel Worksheet

To move or copy an excel worksheet, you must right-click on the sheet name you wish to move or
copy and select the option of copy or move option from the dialogue box as shown below.

After selecting the option, you will find a new dialogue box, as shown below.
The first step is to select the workbook where you want to copy or move the current worksheet. It
can be the current workbook or a different workbook, as shown below.

The next step is to select if you want to move (cut and paste) the worksheet or copy the worksheet.
If you wish to copy the sheet, then make sure you select the tick option as shown below.

If you wish to move the worksheet to a new workbook, then select the new workbook option in the
first menu and do not select the tick in the last option that reads "make a copy".

In the upcoming part, you will learn to protect the cells in the excel worksheet.

Excel Opening

create a new blank workbook:


1. Select the File tab. Backstage view will appear.
2. Select New, then click Blank workbook.

.
3. A new blank workbook will appear.

To open an existing workbook:

In addition to creating new workbooks, you'll often need to open a workbook that was previously
saved. To learn more about saving workbooks, visit our lesson on Saving and Sharing Workbooks.

1. Navigate to Backstage view, then click Open.


2. Select
Computer, then click Browse. You can also choose One-drive to open files stored on
your One-drive.

3. The Open dialog box will appear. Locate and select your workbook, then click Open.
.

If you've opened the desired workbook recently, you can browse your Recent Workbooks rather
than search for the file.

To pin a workbook:

If you frequently work with the same workbook, you can pin it to Backstage view for faster access.

1. Navigate to Backstage view, then click Open. Your recently edited workbooks will appear.

2. Hover
your mouse over the workbook you want to pin. A pushpin icon will appear next to the
workbook. Click the pushpin icon.
3. The workbook will stay in Recent Workbooks. To unpin a workbook, simply click the pushpin icon
again.

Using templates

A template is a predesigned spreadsheet you can use to create a new workbook quickly.
Templates often include custom formatting and predefined formulas, so they can save you a lot of
time and effort when starting a new project.

To create a new workbook from a template:


1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view.

2. Select New. Several templates will appear below the Blank workbook option.
3. Select a template to review it.
4. A preview of the template will appear, along with additional information on how the template
can be used.
5. Click Create to use the selected template.

5.A new workbook will appear with the selected template.

You can also browse templates by category or use the search bar to find something more specific.
It's important to note that not all templates are created by Microsoft. Many are created by
third-party providers and even individual users, so some templates may work better than
others.

To exit Compatibility Mode, you'll need to convert the workbook to the current version type.
However, if you're collaborating with others who only have access to an earlier version of Excel, it's
best to leave the workbook in Compatibility Mode so the format will not change.

To convert a workbook:

If you want access to the newer features, you can convert the spreadsheet to the current file format.

Note that converting a file may cause some changes to the original layout of the workbook.

1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view.

2. Locate and select the Convert command.


3. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save the workbook, enter
a file name for the workbook, and click Save.

The workbook will be converted to the newest file type.

Entering text and data


 Enter text in a cell
 Edit information in a cell
 Delete information in a cell
 Select multiple cells

Entering text in a cell


You can enter three types of data in a cell: text, numbers, and formulas. Text is any entry that is
not a number or formula.

Numbers are values used when making calculations. Formulas are mathematical calculations.

To enter data into a cell:


 Click the cell where you want to type information.
 Type the data. An insertion point appears in the cell as the data is typed.

 The data can be typed in either the cell or in the formula bar.

 Data being typed appears in the both active cell and the formula bar.
 Notice the Cancel and Enter buttons in the formula bar.

 Click the Enter button to end the entry and turn off the formula bar buttons.

Excels Auto-complete feature keeps track of previously entered text. If the first few characters
you type in a cell match an existing entry in that column, Microsoft Excel fills in the remaining
characters for you.

Editing information in a cell

Information in a spreadsheet is likely to change over time. Information can be changed in two
ways.

The quick and easy method:


 Click the cell containing the information you want to change.
 Type the new entry. The old entry is replaced by the new entry.

If the original entry is long and requires only a minor adjustment (in spelling, for example), you
can directly edit the information in the cell.

To edit information in a cell:

Method 1: Direct cell editing

 Double-click the cell containing the information you want to change.


 The cell is opened for direct editing.

 Make the necessary corrections.


 Press Enter or click the Enter button on the formula bar to complete the entry.

Method 2: Formula bar editing

 Click the cell containing the information you want to change.


 Edit the entry in the formula bar.

Deleting information in a cell

To delete data that already appears in a cell:


 Click the cell containing the information you want to delete.
 Click the information displayed in the formula bar.
 Click the Cancel button to delete an entry and turn off the formula buttons.

OR

 Click the cell containing the information you want to delete.


 Press the Delete key, OR
 Right-click and choose Clear Contents from the shortcut menu.

To delete data being typed but not yet added to the cell:
 Cancel an entry by pressing the Escape key.
Using the Undo and Redo features

Sometimes you might do something to a spreadsheet that you didn't mean to, like type the wrong
number in a cell. Excel XP allows you to undo an operation.

Use the Undo button on the Standard toolbar to recover an error. The last single action is
recoverable.

To undo recent actions one at a time:

 Click the Undo button.

To undo several recent actions at once:


 Click the arrow next to the Undo button.
 Select the desired Undo operation(s) from the list.

 Microsoft Excel reverses the selected action and all actions that appear in the list above it.

An Undo operation can be canceled by applying a Redo. This is useful when an Undo operation
was mistakenly applied.

Remember, a redo is possible only if you have not changed an Excel spreadsheet since the last
Undo operation was completed:

To redo an Undo operation:

 Press the Redo button.

To redo several recent Undo actions at once:


 Click the arrow next to Redo button.
 Select the desired Redo operation from the list.
 Microsoft Excel reverses the Undo operation.

Selecting multiple cells

The currently selected cell in Excel XP is called the active cell. You can also select a group of
adjacent cells, or a cell range.

Many operations can be done against a cell range, including moving, copying, deleting, and
formatting.

A cell range can be defined in different ways: select a specific range of cells, select multiple
columns or rows, or select the entire worksheet.

To select a range of cells:


 Move to the first cell in the range.
 The mouse pointer becomes a large cross.
 Click and hold the left mouse button and drag left or right, up or down to the last cell you
want to select.
 Release the mouse button.
 The cells you selected are shaded.

To select all cells in a column or row:


 Click the gray column heading to select the entire column. Click and drag the cursor
across other column headings to select those columns.

 Click the gray row heading to select the entire row. Click and drag the cursor down through
the row headings select those rows.
To select an entire worksheet:
 Click the gray rectangle in the upper-left to select the entire worksheet.

If the cells and columns you want to select are not directly next to one another, select one of the
ranges you want to select, then hold down the Control key while selecting other ranges.

Formatting Navigating

Data Cleaning and Data Formatting in Excel has always been the toughest task for a data analyst.
Most business decisions are based on reports the analysis team generates and shares. One mistake
around the data format is a perfect recipe for disaster.

This tutorial on Formatting in Excel by Simplilearn is your one-stop solution to learn the
fundamentals of data formatting in excel. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to recognize and
rectify all the common mistakes you make while preparing your reports.
What Is Formatting in Excel?

Formatting in Excel is a simple process of modifying or manipulating data in spreadsheets from


one form to another. Formatting can be done based on appearance and data types.

Now that you know the fundamentals of Data Formatting in Excel, you will learn how to
implement formatting in real-time.

How to Format Data in Excel?

As discussed before, formatting in excel can be done based on various requirements, including
appearance, datatype, and data organization. You can do Data Formatting in Excel by navigating the
home tab.

Moving ahead, you will now learn how to implement formatting in Excel based on the number or
datatype formatting in the next section.

Number Formatting in Excel

Number Formats might sound simple, but improper number formats may lead to improper reports
in the end. A simple scenario can explain the situation in a better way.

Now, imagine you work with an automotive store, and your store manager requests you to find the
customer that made the highest purchase in the month to award the customer a discount on his next
purchase.

Let us assume all transactions are saved in dollar format except the one. In a hurry, you
missed adding dollar format to it, which is the highest transaction made in the month. This simple
scenario explains how easily things could go sideways.

In this section, you will learn what is number Formatting in Excel and how to add number
formatting in Excel?

Number Formats can be done in a few simple steps as follows:

 Select a cell or a cell range or the complete column where you wish to add Number Formats

 Navigate to the Home button.


 In the Number Group, select the drop-down to access the Number formatting as shown below.

There is another more straightforward way.

 Select a cell or a range of cells or an entire column

 Right-click on any selected cell

 A drop-down will appear as shown below


General

General is a number format selected as the default by excel for any number you type into the
spreadsheet.

The number appears the same way you type it without additional decimals or modifications.

Number

Number Format is exclusively used when you are working with numbers.

The Number Format will add decimal points to your data to keep it more accurate, and you can also
customize the number of decimal points you wish to have.

Currency

Currency Number Format is used when you want to represent numbers in the form of currency.
For example, annual investment data. You might use dollars to represent such kinds of data.
Accounting

Accounting is completely similar to currency. You can use the accounting Number Format to add
decimal places to your currency to make it more accurate.

Date

The Date Format is employed in spreadsheets to consider your input as a calendar date instead of a
regular number.

Time

The Time Format converts the general default number format to the time format.

Percentage

The Percentage Data Format represents the values in terms of percentages.

For example, the Excel spreadsheet calculates the percentage values and multiples by 100 and
denotes the decimal values in a percentage format.

Fraction

The Fraction Format displays the general number in the form of a fraction according to the type of
fraction you chose.

Scientific

The Scientific Number Format differs slightly from currency or a general or decimal number. The
Scientific Number Format has an exponential number that indicates the power of a number.

Apart from exponents, the scientific number format also includes trigonometry, calculus, roots of a
number, etc.
Text

The text includes the textual type of data. Here, Excel treats any number of data you type as text
format and keeps it the way it is without adding any decimals or mathematical symbols.

Special

You also have symbols besides numbers, text, and scientific notations. These symbols are entitled
as special symbols. While using these symbols, you need to select the Format of the special symbol.

Custom

Apart from all the available options, Excel also provides its users with a customizable option that
will help them use existing formats and customize them to create a completely new one.

So far, you have learned about number Formatting in Excel. Apart from number formatting, you
can also carry out formatting at the cell level.

You will now learn Cell Formatting in Excel in the next segment of this tutorial.

Cell Formatting in Excel

Cell Formatting in Excel is a little different from number formatting in Excel. Cell formatting is
related to text alignment, color, font, cell background color, images, etc.

First, let us check the font options in Cell Formatting in Excel.

 Navigate to the Home tab and search for the Font group.

 Click on the drop-down icon, and Excel will provide you with a wide variety of font options,
as shown below.
After the Font option, you can go through the font color, bold, italic, and underline options along
with the text alignment in the same Home tab.

A little towards the right side in the alignment group, you have text alignment, text wrapping, and
text indentation options, as shown below.

Text Color Formatting in Excel

The Text color option will help users customize the text color in Excel with various color options, as
shown below.

Cell Color Formatting in Excel

The Cell background color option will help users modify the cell background color in the spreadsheet,
as shown below.
Cell Borders Formatting in Excel

The spreadsheet borders option will allow users to add cell borders as per the requirement of the
users.

Clipboard and Text Paste in Excel

You have the clipboard group on the left side of the font tab. The clipboard group will help you
with a variety of paste options.

The copied text on the clipboard can be pasted, or you can also use a custom paste option.
Conditional Formatting in Excel

On the right side of the Number Format Group, you have Conditional Formatting, Cell Formatting,
and Table Formatting options, as shown below.

The Conditional formatting option will allow the users to highlight or mark cells on excel
spreadsheets based on logical functions and formulae, as shown below.
Table Formatting in Excel

The Table Formatting in excel will allow you to modify the tabular data in Excel with various
options, as shown in the image below.
Cell Formatting in Excel

The Cell Formatting option in Excel will allow users to modify individual cell background colors per
the user requirements, as shown below.
Navigating formulas

How to make a simple Excel formula by using constants and operators

In Microsoft Excel formulas, constants are numbers, dates or text values that you enter directly in
a formula. To create a simple Excel formula using constants, just do the following:

 Select a cell where you want to output the result.


 Type the equal symbol (=), and then type the equation you want to calculate.
 Press the Enter key to complete your formula. Done!

Here is an example of a simple subtraction formula in Excel:

=100-50

How to write formulas in Excel using cell references

Instead of entering values directly in your Excel formula, you can refer to the cells, containing
those values.

For example, if you want to subtract a value in cell B2 from the value in cell A2, you write the
following subtraction formula: =A2-B2

When making such a formula, you can type the cell references directly in the formula, or click the
cell and Excel will insert a corresponding cell reference in your formula.

To add range reference, select the range of cells in the sheet.

Note. By default, Excel adds relative cell references. To switch to another reference type, press
the F4 key.
A big advantage of using cell references in Excel formulas is that whenever you change a value in
the referred cell, the formula recalculates automatically without you having to manually update all
the calculations and formulas on your spreadsheet.

How to create an Excel formula by using defined names

To take a step further, you can create a name for a certain cell or a range of cells, and then refer to
that cell(s) in your Excel formulas by simply typing the name.

The fastest way to create a name in Excel, is to select a cell(s) and type the name directly in
the Name Box. For example, this is how you create a name for cell A2:

A professional-like way to define a name is via the Formulas tab > Defined names group
or Ctrl+F3 shortcut. For the details steps, please see creating a defined name in Excel.

In this example, I've created the following 2 names:

 revenue for cell A2


 expenses for cell B2

And now, to calculate the net income, you can type the following formula in any cell on any sheet
within the workbook in which those names were created: =revenue-expenses

In the same manner, you can use names instead of cell or range references in arguments of Excel
functions.

For example, if you create the name 2015_sales for cells A2:A100, you can find a total of those
cells by using the following SUM formula: =SUM(2015_sales)

Of course, you can get the same result by supplying the range to the SUM
function: =SUM(A2:A100)

However, defined names make Excel formulas more understandable. Also, they can significantly
expedite creating formulas in Excel especially when you are using the same range of cells in multiple
formulas. Instead of navigating between different spreadsheets to find and select the range, you just
type its name directly in the formula.

How to make Excel formulas by using functions

Excel functions are nothing else than predefined formulas that perform the required calculations
behind the scene.

Each formula begins with an equal sign (=), followed by the function name and the function
arguments entered within the parentheses. Each function has specific arguments and syntax (particular
order of arguments).

For more information, please see a list of the most popular Excel functions with formula examples
and screenshots.

In your Excel spreadsheets, you can create a function-based formula in 2 ways:

 Using the Formula Wizard


 Writing a formula yourself in a cell or formula bar

Create a formula in Excel by using the Function Wizard

If you do not feel very comfortable with Excel spreadsheet formulas yet, the Insert Function
wizard will give you a helpful hand.

1. Run the function wizard.

To run the wizard, click the Insert Function button on the Formulas tab > Function Library group,
or pick a function from one of the categories:

Alternatively, you can click the Insert Function button to the left of the formula bar.

Or, type the equal sign (=) in a cell and pick a function from the drop-down menu to the left of the
formula bar.

By default, the drop-down menu displays 10 most recently used functions, to get to the full list,
click More Functions…
2. Find the function you want to use.

When the Insert Function wizard appears, you do the following:

 If you know the function name, type it in the Search for a function field and click Go.

 If you are not sure exactly what function you need to use, type a very brief description of the
task you want to solve in the Search for a function field, and click Go. For example, you can
type something like this: "sum cells", or "count empty cells".

 If you know what category the function belongs to, click the small black arrow next to Select
a category and choose one of the 13 categories listed there. The functions belonging to the
selected category will appear in the Select a function

You can read a short description of the selected function right under the Select a function box. If
you need further details regarding that function, click the Help on this function link near the bottom of
the dialog box.Once you've found the function you wish to use, select it and click OK.
3. Specify the function arguments.

In the second step of the Excel function wizard, you are to specify the function's arguments. Good
news is that no knowledge of the function's syntax is required.

You just enter the cell or range references in the arguments' boxes and the wizard will take care of
the rest.

To enter an argument, you can either type a cell reference or range directly into the box.
Alternatively, click the range selection icon next to the argument (or simply put the cursor into the
argument's box), and then select a cell or a range of cells in the worksheet using the mouse.

While doing this, the function wizard will shrink to a narrow range selection window. When you
release the mouse button, the dialog box will be restored to its full size.

A short explanation for the currently selected argument is displayed right under the function's
description. For more details, click the Help on this function link near the bottom.
Excel functions allow you to perform calculations with cell residing on the same worksheet,
different sheets and even different workbooks.

In this example, we are calculating the average of sales for 2014 and 2015 years located in
two different spreadsheets, which in why the range references in the above screenshot include the
sheet names. Find more about how to reference another sheet or workbook in Excel.

As soon as you've specified an argument, the value or array of values in the selected cell(s) will be
displayed right to the argument's box.

4. Complete the formula.

When you have specified all the arguments, click the OK button (or just press the Enter key), and
the completed formula is entered into the cell.
Write a formula directly in a cell or formula bar

As you've just seen, creating a formula in Excel by using the function wizard is easy, thought it's
quite a long multi-step process.

When you have some experience with Excel formulas, you might like a faster way - typing a
function directly into a cell or formula bar.

As usual, you start by typing the equal sign (=) followed by the function name. As you do this,
Excel will perform some kind of incremental search and display a list of functions that match the part of
the function's name you've already typed:

So, you can either finish typing the function name on your own or select from the displayed list.
Either way, as soon as you type an opening parenthesis, Excel will show the function screen
tip highlighting the argument you need to enter next.

You can type the argument in the formula manually, or click a cell (select a range) in the sheet and
have a corresponding cell or range reference added to the argument.

After you've input the last argument, type the closing parenthesis and hit Enter to complete the formula.

Tip. If you are not quite familiar with the function's syntax, click the function name and the Excel
Help topic will pop-up right away.
Handling and Copying

Use Cut, Copy, and Paste to move or copy cell contents. Or copy specific contents or attributes
from the cells. For example, copy the resulting value of a formula without copying the formula, or copy
only the formula.

When you move or copy a cell, Excel moves or copies the cell, including formulas and their
resulting values, cell formats, and comments.

You can move cells in Excel by drag and dropping or using the Cut and Paste commands.

Move cells by using Cut and Paste

1) Select a cell or a cell range.


2) Select Home > Cut or press Ctrl + X.
3) Select a cell where you want to move the data.
4) Select Home > Paste or press Ctrl + V.

CHARTS

CREATING:

Charts

A chart is a tool you can use in Excel to communicate data graphically. Charts allow your audience
to see the meaning behind the numbers, and they make showing comparisons and trends much easier.

A chart is a visual representation of data, in which the data is represented by symbols such as bars
in a bar chart or lines in a line chart.

Chart Elements
The different parts that make up a chart are referred to as chart elements. Chart elements give more
descriptions to your charts, thus making your data more meaningful and visually appealing.

Follow the steps given below to insert the chart elements in your graph:

Step 1 − Click the chart. Three buttons appear at the upper-right corner of the chart.
Step 2 − Click the Chart Elements icon. A list of available elements will be displayed.

The following chart elements are available:


Excel charts have a handful of elements. Some of these elements are displayed by default, others
can be added and modified manually as needed.

1. Chart area
2. Chart title
3. Plot area
4. Horizontal (category) axis
5. Vertical (value) axis
6. Axis title
7. Data points of the data series
8. Chart legend
9. Data label

Chart Area: The chart area is everything within the outside border. This is the area that makes up the
chart. All charts have a chart area.

Chart titles: When you create a chart, a Chart Title box appears above the chart.

Plot Area: The plot area is the area which is enclosed by the two axis. This area can have its own
border as well as a background color. The plot area is everything enclosed by the axes. This does not
include titles, legend, etc.

Axes: Charts typically have two axes that are used to measure and categorize the data.

vertical axis (also known as value axis or y axis), andA horizontal axis (also known as category axis
or x axis)3-D Column charts have a third axis, the depth axis.

Axis titles: Axis titles give the understanding of the data of what the chart is all about.You can add axis
titles to any horizontal, vertical, or the depth axes in the chart.
Data Series: A data series is a collection of data points (or markers) and normally corresponds to the
data within a single row or column. This could be a series of columns, bars or a series of squares or
crosses joined together by a line.

Data labels:Data labels make a chart easier to understand because they show the details about a
data series or its individual data points. You can change the location of the data labels within the
chart, to make them more readable.

Legend:When you create a chart, the Legend appears by default. You can hide a Legend by
deselecting it from the Chart Elements list.

Creating Charts with Insert Chart :To create a chart in Excel, you start by entering the numeric data
on a worksheet, and then continue with the following steps.

1. Prepare the data to plot in a chart


• You can organize the data in rows or columns, and Microsoft Excel will automatically determine the
best way to plot the data in your graph

• The data in the first column (or columns headings) is used as labels along the X axis of your chart.

• The numerical data in other columns are used to create the labels for the Y axis.

• Either the column headings or data in the first column are used in the chart legend.
Excel automatically chooses the data for the legend based on your data layout.

2.Select data to include in the chart


• Select all the data you want to include in your Excel graph. Be sure to select the column headings if
you want them to appear either in the chart legend or axis labels.

3. Inset the chart in Excel worksheet


• To add the graph on the current sheet, go to the Insert tab > Charts group, and click on a chart type
you would like to create. To use the option Recommended Charts, follow the steps given below −

Step 1 − Select the data.


Step 2 − Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
Step 3 − Click Recommended Charts.

Formatting Charts in Excel


Once you create a chart it's easy to format and enhance your chart using Excel's menus and
commands.
To change chart style in Excel, simply right click or double click on the chart item you want
to format to view the formatting options for that item.

Just a few of the chart items you can format are:

• Chart Titles, Axis Titles, and Data Labels


• Chart Lines
• Axis Labels
• Plot Area / Chart Area

Overall, there are 3 ways to customize charts in Excel 2016 and Excel 2013.

1. Select the chart and look for the needed options on the Chart Tools tabs on the Excel ribbon.
2. Right-click an element on the chart and select the corresponding context menu item. For example,
here's the right-click menu for customizing the chart title:

3. Use on-object chart customization buttons. These buttons appear in the top right corner of your chart
as soon as you click on it.

Chart Elements button. It launches the checklist of all the elements you can modify or add to your
graph, and it only shows those elements that are applicable to the selected chart type.
The Chart Elements button supports Live Preview, so if you are not sure what a certain element is,
hover the mouse on it and you will see what your graph would look like if you select that option.

Chart Styles button. It lets you quickly change the chart styles and colors.

Chart Filters button. It allows you to show or hide data displayed in your chart. For more options,
click the Chart Elements button, find the element you want to add or customize in the checklist, and
click the arrow next to it.
The Format Chart pane will appear on the right of your worksheet, where you can select the
options you want:

Format your chart using the Ribbon


1. In your chart, click to select the chart element that you want to format.
2. On the Format tab under Chart Tools, do one of the following:

Types of Charts:

Excel provides you different types of charts that suit your purpose. Based on the type of data, you can
create a chart. You can also change the chart type later. Excel offers the following major chart types −

• Column Chart
• Bar Chart
• Pie Chart
• Doughnut Chart
• Line Chart
• Area Chart
• XY (Scatter) Chart
• Bubble Chart
Surface Chart
Column Chart
A Column Chart typically displays the categories along the horizontal (category) axis and values along
the vertical (value) axis. To create a column chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on theworksheet.

Line Chart
Line charts can show continuous data over time on an evenly scaled Axis. Therefore, they are ideal for
showing trends in data at equal intervals, such as months, quarters or years.
In a Line chart −
• Category data is distributed evenly along the horizontal axis.
• Value data is distributed evenly along the vertical axis.
To create a Line chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the worksheet.

Pie Chart
Pie charts show the size of items in one data series, proportional to the sum of the items. The data
points in a pie chart are shown as a percentage of the whole pie. To create a Pie Chart, arrange the data
in one column or row on the worksheet.

A Pie Chart has the following sub-types −


• Pie
• 3-D Pie• Pie of Pie
• Bar of Pie
Doughnut Chart
A Doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole. It is similar to a Pie Chart with the
only difference that a Doughnut Chart can contain more than one data series, whereas, a Pie Chart can
contain only one data series.
A Doughnut Chart contains rings and each ring representing one data series. To create a
Doughnut Chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on a worksheet.

Bar Chart
Bar Charts illustrate comparisons among individual items. In a Bar Chart, the categories are
organized along the vertical axis and the values are organized along the horizontal axis.
To create a Bar Chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the Worksheet.

A Bar Chart has the following sub-types −


• Clustered Bar, Stacked Bar, 100% Stacked Bar,

3-D Clustered
Bar, 3-D Stacked
Bar,
3- D 100% Stacked Bar etc.

Area Chart
Area Charts can be used to plot the change over time and draw attention to the total value across
a trend. By showing the sum of the plotted values, an area chart also shows the relationship of parts to
a whole. To create an Area Chart, arrange the data in columns or rows on the worksheet.
XY (Scatter) Chart
XY (Scatter) charts are typically used for showing and comparing numeric values, like scientific,
statistical, and engineering data. A Scatter chart has two Value Axes −

• Horizontal (x) Value Axis


• Vertical (y) Value Axis

It combines x and y values into single data points and displays them in irregular intervals, or
clusters. To create a Scatter chart, arrange the data in columns and rows on the worksheet.
Place the x values in one row or column, and then enter the corresponding y values in the
adjacent rows or columns. Consider using a Scatter chart when −

• You want to change the scale of the horizontal axis.


• You want to make that axis a logarithmic scale.
• Values for horizontal axis are not evenly spaced.
• There are many data points on the horizontal axis.
• You want to adjust the independent axis scales of a scatter chart to reveal more information about data
that includes pairs or grouped sets of values.
• You want to show similarities between large sets of data instead of differences between data points.
• You want to compare many data points regardless of the time.
The more data that you include in a scatter chart, the better the comparisons you can make.

Bubble Chart
A Bubble chart is like a Scatter chart with an additional third column to specify the size of the
bubbles it shows to represent the data points in the data series.
A Bubble chart has the following sub-types −
• Bubble
• Bubble with 3-D effect

Surface Chart
A Surface chart is useful when you want to find the optimum combinations between two sets of
data. As in a topographic map, colors and patterns indicate areas that are in the same range of values.To
create a Surface chart −
How to create a chart template

In Excel 2013 and 2016, to save a graph as a chart template, right-click the chart and pick Save as
Template in the pop-up menu:

Clicking the Save As Template option brings up the Save Chart Template dialog, where you type
the template name and click the Save button.

Changing Cell Error Values to Print in Excel
This option is pretty awesome.The thing is, you can replace all the error values while printing with
another specific value. Well, you have only three other values to use as a replacement.

Here, we have a dataset containing the Name, Working Days, Salary, and Salary per Day of
some employees. But, in Cell E8 it shows a #DIV/0! Error. Now, I will show how to replace this error
value while printing with another specific value in Excel.

Steps:

Then, in the input box “First page Number”, enter the number from where you want
to start your page numbers. Here, I will insert 5 in the box.
Finally, click OK.

ANALYSIS TABLES:

Here are some tips for getting the most out of Analyze Data:

Analyze Data works best with data that's formatted as an Excel table. To create an Excel table,
click anywhere in your data and then press Ctrl+T.

Make sure you have good headers for the columns. Headers should be a single row of unique,
non-blank labels for each column. Avoid double rows of headers, merged cells, etc.

If you have complicated, or nested data, you can use Power Query to convert tables with cross-tabs,
or multiple rows of headers.

Didn't get Analyze Data? It's probably us, not you.

Here are some reasons why Analyze Data may not work on your data:
Analyze Data doesn't currently support analyzing datasets over 1.5 million cells. There is currently
no workaround for this. In the meantime, you can filter your data, then copy it to another location to run
Analyze Data on it.

String dates like "2017-01-01" will be analyzed as if they are text strings. As a workaround, create
a new column that uses the DATE or DATEVALUE functions, and format it as a date.

Analyze Data won't work when Excel is in compatibility mode (i.e. when the file is in .xls format).
In the meantime, save your file as an .xlsx, .xlsm, or .xlsb file.

Merged cells can also be hard to understand. If you're trying to center data, like a report header,
then as a workaround, remove all merged cells, then format the cells using Center Across Selection.
Press Ctrl+1, then go to Alignment > Horizontal > Center Across Selection.

We're always improving Analyze Data

Even if you don't have any of the above conditions, we may not find a recommendation.

That's because we are looking for a specific set of insight classes, and the service doesn't always
find something.

We are continually working to expand the analysis types that the service supports.

Here is the current list that is available:

Rank: Ranks and highlights the item that is significantly larger than the rest of the items.

Trend: Highlights when there is a steady trend pattern over a time series of data.
Outlier: Highlights outliers in time series.

Majority: Finds cases where a majority of a total value can be attributed to a single factor.

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

Financial Statement?

Financial Statements are summary reports which contain the state of the financial situation of a
company or organization.

They include the reports of the like balance sheet, Income statement, and Cash Flow statement.
They are the written documents or records that the company performs throughout the year.

There are 3 main parts of a financial statement report:

1. Balance Sheet

It summarises the financial position of the company after a certain period. It is also known as
a Statement of Financial Position/condition.

In general, a balance sheet contains 3 portions. And, these are Assets, Liabilities, and Owners’
equity A balance sheet provides a glimpse of the company’s finances.
The sheet consists of the company’s liabilities, assets, and shareholder’s equities. Balance sheets
are organized according to the equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s Equity

 Assets: These are the main resources owned by the company. Assets can be classified into
many types. Like Current and Fixed assets, Tangible and Intangible assets, etc.
 Liabilities: They are things that the company owes to a person or a company like cash, loans,
etc.
 Owners Equity: It represents the value for a company’s shareholders after all the company’s
assets were sold off and all company liabilities were paid off.

Income Statement

It reports the profit and loss of a company over a certain period. So, the income statement is made
of 3 parts:

1. Revenue

2. Expense

3. Profits.

So, it contains all incomes and expenses in a certain period and calculates net profit.
Cash Flow Statement

Cash flow statements are the bridge between the Income statement and the Balance sheet. There are
also 3 parts to it:

 Operations: It is the main source of revenue for a company or organization. Cash flows
regarding main operations will be included here.
 Investment Activity: Cash received or paid due to buying or selling any assets, taking loans,
paying interest on loans, etc are included here.
 Financing Activity: Cash flows regarding any changes in equity earning or borrowing entities
like bonds, stocks, or dividends.

UNIT-IV

Concept of Database Management System


 A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that is designed to
manage and organize data in a structured manner. It allows users to create, modify,
and query a database, as well as manage the security and access controls for that
database.
 DBMS provides an environment to store and retrieve the data in coinvent and
efficient manner.
Key Features of DBMS
 Data modeling: A DBMS provides tools for creating and modifying data models,
which define the structure and relationships of the data in a database.
 Data storage and retrieval: A DBMS is responsible for storing and retrieving data from
the database, and can provide various methods for searching and querying the data.
 Concurrency control: A DBMS provides mechanisms for controlling concurrent access to
the database, to ensure that multiple users can access the data without conflicting with each
other.
 Data integrity and security: A DBMS provides tools for enforcing data integrity and
security constraints, such as constraints on the values of data and access controls that
restrict who can access the data.
 Backup and recovery: A DBMS provides mechanisms for backing up and recovering the
data in the event of a system failure.
 DBMS can be classified into two types: Relational Database Management System
(RDBMS) and Non-Relational Database Management System (NoSQL or Non-SQL)
 RDBMS: Data is organized in the form of tables and each table has a set of rows and
columns. The data are related to each other through primary and foreign keys.
 NoSQL: Data is organized in the form of key-value pairs, documents, graphs, or column-
based. These are designed to handle large-scale, high-performance scenarios.

Field - a field consists of a grouping of characters. A data field represents an attribute (a characteristic or
quality) of some entity (object, person, place, or event).

Record - a record represents a collection of attributes that describe a real-world entity. A record consists
of fields, with each field describing an attribute of the entity.

File - a group of related records. Files are frequently classified by the application for which they are
primarily used (employee file). A primary key in a file is the field (or fields) whose value identifies a
record among others in a data file.

Sorting and Indexing

sorting

 Sorting is the process or arranging items in a set in a specific order. Sorting a table would create a
copy of the table in which the rows may have a different order than the original.
 Storing the new table would require an amount of space similar to that of the original table.
 Due to this reason sorting is used less frequently; only used when a new copy of the sorted table is
required. Sorting is allowed using multiple fields, such as sorting addresses using the states and
then sort using the cities inside the states.
Indexing
 Indexing is a method that is used to improve the data retrieval speed in a table of a database. An
index could be created using a single or more columns in a table and the index is stored in a
separate file. This file contains the logical order of rows along with their physical position in the
table.
 The space required by an index file is typically less than the space required to store the table.
Unique indices will prevent the table from containing duplicate values of the index. Indexing
would make the data retrieval more efficient.

What is the difference between Indexing and Sorting?

 Indexing and sorting are two methods that can be used to create an order in a data table. Indexing
would create an index file that contains only the logical order of rows along with their physical
position in the table whereas with sorting, a copy of the sorted table has to be stored.
 Usually, the index file requires lesser space than storing a sorted table. Furthermore, some
operations like running queries and searching would be faster with a table with indexes.
 In addition, indexing would not change the original order in the table, while sorting would change
the order of rows. Also, operation such as linking tables would require having an index.
 What are queries?
 Queries are a way of searching for and compiling data from one or more tables. Running a
query is like asking a detailed question of your database. When you build a query in Access, you
are defining specific search conditions to find exactly the data you want.

DESIGNING QUERIES

 Queries are far more powerful than the simple searches or filters you might use to find data
within a table. This is because queries can draw their information from multiple tables. For
example, while you could use a search in the customers table to find the name of one customer at
your business or a filter on the orders table to view only orders placed within the past week,
neither would let you view both customers and orders at once. However, you could easily run a
query to find the name and phone number of every customer who's made a purchase within the
past week.
A well-designed query can give information you might not be able to find out just by examining
the data in your tables.
 When you run a query, the results are presented to you in a table, but when you design one you
use a different view. This is called Query Design view, and it lets you see how your query is
put together.
 Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn how to navigate the Query Design view.

One-table queries

Let's familiarize ourselves with the query-building process by building the simplest query
possible: a one-table query.

We will run a query on the Customers table of our bakery database. Let's say our bakery is
having a special event, and we want to invite our customers who live nearby because they are the
most likely to come. This means we need to see a list of all customers who live close by,
and only those customers.

We want to find our customers who live in the city of Raleigh, so we'll search for "Raleigh" in
the City field. Some customers who live in the suburbs live fairly close by, and we'd like to
invite them as well. We'll add their zip code, 27513, as another criteria.

If you think this sounds a little like applying a filter, you're right. A one-table query is actually
just an advanced filter applied to a table.

To create a simple one-table query:


1. Select the Create tab on the Ribbon, and locate the Queries group.

2. Click the Query Design command.

3. Access will switch to Query Design view. In the Show Table dialog box that appears,
select the table you want to run a query on. We are running a query on our customers, so
we'll select the Customers table.
4. Click Add, then click Close.
5. The selected table will appear as a small window in the Object Relationship
pane. In the table window, double-click the field names you want to include in
your query. They will be added to the design grid in the bottom part of the
screen. In our example, we want to mail invitations to customers who live in a
certain area, so we'll include the First Name, Last Name, Street Address, City,
and Zip Code fields.
6. Set the search criteria by clicking the cell in the Criteria: row of each field you
want to filter. Typing criteria into more than one field in the Criteria: row will set
your query to include only results that meet all criteria. If you want to set multiple
criteria but don't need the records shown in your results to meet all of them, type the
first criteria in the Criteria: row and additional criteria in the or: row and the rows
beneath it. Because we want to find customers who either live in Raleigh or in the
27513 zip code, we'll type "Raleigh" in the City field and "27513" into the or: row of
the Zip Code field. The quotation marks will search these fields for an exact
match.

7. After you have set your criteria, run the query by clicking the Run command on
the Design tab.
8. The query results will be displayed in the query's Datasheet view, which looks like a table.
If you want, save your query by clicking the Save command in the Quick Access Toolbar.
When prompted to name it, type the desired name, then click OK.

Now you know how to create the simplest type of query with only one table. In the next lesson, you'll
learn how to create a query that uses multiple tables.

Create a Report
1. Select the table or query you want to base the report on.

2. Click the Create tab on the ribbon.


3. Click the Report button.
You can also select either the Blank Report button (to create and display the report in
Layout View) or the Report Design button (to create and display a blank report in
Design View).
A report is instantly created based on the active table or query, and appears in Layout View.

4.Click the Save button.


5.Give the report a name and click OK.
The report is saved and appears in the Navigation Pane.There are several ways to create reports
in Access, they're listed in this table.

Linking Of DataFile
The database linking workflow consists of a few simple steps:
1. Open or create a drawing with the entities you want to link.
2. Create a new database connection, specifying the database you want to use.
3. For the database table you want to link to, specify the field/column which is the “unique
id” of the data in that table.
4. Link entities, one by one, to records in the relevant database table.
5. View the data in the database.
6. Run a query.
7. Specify the label format.

Creating a New Database Connection

You need to tell the program where to find the database containing the information you want to
link to the drawing entities.

1. In the Database Links window, select Data Connections ► Add Connection.

2. Browse for a database file. This can be an MS Access, MS Excel or any other supported
type of database file. Select the database file you want and click Open.

3. Type a name for the new connection and click OK.

4. The new connection displays in the connection tree on the left side of the Database
Linking window. The database tables in the database connection are displayed
beneath
the connection node. Each database table has one or more Label Formats and Queries
attached to it.

UNDERSTANDING PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT IN DBMS:

There are many components available in the DBMS. Each component has a significant task in the DBMS. A
database environment is a collection of components that regulates the use of data, management, and a group
of data. These components consist of people, the technique of Handel the database, data, hardware, software,
etc. there are several components available for the DBMS. We are going to explain five main topics of the
database below.

1. Hardware

o Here the hardware means the physical part of the DBMS. Here the hardware includes
output devices like a printer, monitor, etc., and storage devices like a hard disk.
o In DBMS, information hardware is the most important visible part. The equipment which
is used for the visibility of the data is the printer, computer, scanner, etc. This equipment
is used to capture the data and present the output to the user.
o With the help of hardware, the DBMS can access and update the database.
o The server can store a large amount of data, which can be shared with the help of the
user's own system.
o The database can be run in any system that ranges from microcomputers to
mainframe computers. And this database also provides an interface between the real
worlds to the database.
o When we try to run any database software like MySQL, we can type any commands with
the help of our keyboards, and RAM, ROM, and processor are part of our computer
system.

2. Software

o Software is the main component of the DBMS.


o Software is defined as the collection of programs that are used to instruct the computer
about its work. The software consists of a set of procedures, programs, and routines
associated with the computer system's operation and performance. Also, we can say that
computer software is a set of instructions that is used to instruct the computer hardware
for the operation of the computers.
o The software includes so many software like network software and operating software.
The database software is used to access the database, and the database application
performs the task.
o This software has the ability to understand the database accessing language and then
convert these languages to real database commands and then execute the database.
o This is the main component as the total database operation works on a software or
application. We can also be called as database software the wrapper of the whole physical
database, which provides an easy interface for the user to store, update and delete the
data from the database.
o Some examples of DBMS software include MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, dBase,
FileMaker, Clipper, Foxpro, Microsoft Access, etc.

3. Data

o The term data means the collection of any raw fact stored in the database. Here the data
are any type of raw material from which meaningful information is generated.
o The database can store any form of data, such as structural data, non-structural data, and
logical data.
o The structured data are highly specific in the database and have a structured format. But
in the case of non-structural data, it is a collection of different types of data, and these
data are stored in their native format.
o We also call the database the structure of the DBMS. With the help of the database, we
can create and construct the DBMS. After the creation of the database, we can create,
access, and update that database.
o The main reason behind discovering the database is to create and manage the data within
the database.
o Data is the most important part of the DBMS. Here the database contains the actual data
and metadata. Here metadata means data about data.
o For example, when the user stores the data in a database, some data, such as the size of
the data, the name of the data, and some data related to the user, are stored within the
database. These data are called metadata.

4. Procedures

o The procedure is a type of general instruction or guidelines for the use of DBMS. This
instruction includes how to set up the database, how to install the database, how to log in
and log out of the database, how to manage the database, how to take a backup of the
database, and how to generate the report of the database.
o In DBMS, with the help of procedure, we can validate the data, control the access
and reduce the traffic between the server and the clients. The DBMS can offer better
performance to extensive or complex business logic when the user follows all the
procedures correctly.
o The main purpose of the procedure is to guide the user during the management and
operation of the database.
o The procedure of the databases is so similar to the function of the database. The major
difference between the database procedure and database function is that the database
function acts the same as the SQL statement. In contrast, the database procedure is
invoked using the CALL statement of the DBMS.
o Database procedures can be created in two ways in enterprise architecture. These two
ways are as below.
o The individual object or the default object.
o The operations in a container.

5. Database Access Language

o Database Access Language is a simple language that allows users to write commands to
perform the desired operations on the data that is stored in the database.
o Database Access Language is a language used to write commands to access, upsert, and
delete data stored in a database.
o Users can write commands or query the database using Database Access Language
before submitting them to the database for execution.
o Through utilizing the language, users can create new databases and tables, insert data and
delete data.
o Examples of database languages are SQL (structured query language), My Access,
Oracle, etc. A database language is comprised of two languages.

1. Data Definition Language(DDL):It is used to construct a database. DDL implements


database schema at the physical, logical, and external levels.

The following commands serve as the base for all DDL commands:

o ALTER<object>
o COMMENT
o CREATE<object>
o DESCRIBE<object>
o DROP<object>
o SHOW<object>
o USE<object>

2. Data Manipulation Language(DML): It is used to access a database. The DML provides the
statements to retrieve, modify, insert and delete the data from the database.

The following commands serve as the base for all DML commands:
o INSERT
o UPDATE
o DELETE
o LOCK
o CALL
o EXPLAIN PLAN

6. People

o The people who control and manage the databases and perform different types of
operations on the database in the DBMS.
o The people include database administrator, software developer, and End-user.
o Database administrator-database administrator is the one who manages the complete
database management system. DBA takes care of the security of the DBMS, its
availability, managing the license keys, managing user accounts and access, etc.
o Software developer- theThis user group is involved in developing and designing the parts
of DBMS. They can handle massive quantities of data, modify and edit databases, design
and develop new databases, and troubleshoot database issues.
o End user - These days, all modern web or mobile applications store user data. How do
you think they do it? Yes, applications are programmed in such a way that they collect
user data and store the data on a DBMS system running on their server. End users are the
ones who store, retrieve, update and delete data.
o The users of the database can be classified into different groups.
i. Native Users
ii. Online Users
iii. Sophisticated Users
iv. Specialized Users
v. Application Users
vi. DBA - Database Administrator

Step-by-Step Guide to Developing a Menu-Driven Application in MS Access

1. Designing the Database Structure


 Tables: Define your database tables to store the necessary data.
 Relationships: Set up relationships between tables if needed, using the Relationships tool
in Access.

2. Creating Forms for User Interface

 Main Menu Form: Design a main menu form with buttons or a list of options for
users to navigate through different functionalities.
o Create buttons or use list boxes/comboboxes to represent different modules
or tasks.

3. Writing VBA Code for Menu Actions

 Open the VBA Editor: Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor in Access.
 Event Handling: Write VBA code to handle events like button clicks or list
selection changes.
o For each menu option, create a VBA procedure that opens the relevant form
or performs the required action.

Example:

vba
Copy code
' Example code to open a form from a menu option
Private Sub btnCustomers_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Customers"
End Sub

4. Building Forms for Data Entry and Display

 Data Entry Forms: Create forms for adding, editing, and deleting records.
 Display Forms: Create forms to display data with filters and sorting options as needed.

Example:

vba
Copy code
' Example code to open a form for adding new records
Private Sub btnAddNew_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "NewCustomer", , , , acFormAdd
End Sub

5. Implementing Navigation and Validation

 Navigation: Use navigation buttons or tabs to move between forms and modules.
 Data Validation: Implement validation rules to ensure data integrity (can be done
using form events like BeforeUpdate).

6. Adding Reports and Queries

 Reports: Create reports for presenting data in a structured format.


 Queries: Develop queries to extract and manipulate data for forms and reports.

7. Testing and Debugging

 Testing: Test the application thoroughly to ensure all functionalities work as expected.
 Debugging: Use Access’s debugging tools and error handling in VBA to fix issues.

8. Deploying the Application

 Split Database: Consider splitting the database into front-end (forms, reports,
queries) and back-end (tables) for easier management and scalability.
 Distribution: Distribute the front-end file to users or deploy the application on a
network share.

Tips for Developing in MS Access

 Use Macros Sparingly: Prefer VBA over macros for greater flexibility and control.
 Optimize Performance: Index fields, optimize queries, and manage
resources effectively.
 User Interface Design: Design forms with user experience in mind, focusing on clarity
and ease of navigation.

slide show presentations.

Each presentation can consist of as many slides as the user wants. Each slide can carry text,
graphics and sound.

The slides can be animated to make them more attractive.

PowerPoint lets users create and edit individual pages called slides. There can be large number of
such slides in presentation.

PowerPoint provides ready-to-use templates for slides.

PowerPoint can be used to create:

• Video slide show on the computer screen.


• Color transparencies for overhead projector.
• Black and white transparencies for overhead projector.
• Speaker notes, remainder notes and back up information.
• Printed handouts.
• Presentation files

FEATURES OF POWERPOINT:

Better Organization charts and New Diagrams Types:


Organization charts now use the drawing tools in Power Point, resulting in smaller fields
sizes and easier editing.

Also, Power Point includes a new gallery of common conceptual diagrams.


You can customize these pre-drawn diagrams with text animation effects and a variety of formatting
styles.

Save Background or Selection as picture:

When you want to create a presentation using the drawing tools in Power Point, you can save
it as a picture by right-click it.

You can also save a texture or picture background from a slide in the
same way that makes it easy to reuse these graphic elements.

both in real-time or when archives.

Animation:

Different animation techniques are also available in the slides. The letters and pictures will fly from
top to bottom and from left to right.

Not only one technique, we can have many animation options. We can also get preview of various
animation effects

ADVANTAGES OF POWER POINT:

There are many advantages of computerized presentations.

1. The slides can be prepared for different types of audiences i.e., literates, illiterates, children, old
people etc.
2. They can be run automatically. There is no manual interference for running power point show.
3. There is no problem of getting slides out of order.

SLIDE:

A slide is a page, document or template where all the content of a presentation is written. It is just
like a page of paper or page of slide show. A single page in the slide show presentation is known as a
slide.

A slide is a container, which can contain – texts, pictures, charts, drawing and animations ECT.
which are also known as objects.

TYPES OF SLIDES:
Power Point offers 27 different types of slide layouts divided into four categories:

• Text Layout - A Text layout slide contains only text. The slide might contain one or two columns
of text, with or without a title.

• Content Layout – Content layout slides can contain up to four pieces of content in several
arrangements. Content is a graph, a photo, an organization chart, or some other visual
element.

• Text and Content Layout – The seven text and content layouts place text and content on a slide
in various arrangements.

• Other Layout – The other layouts don’t fit the other categories. For example, you can create a
slide with a single table, diagram, or organization chart. You can also create combinations with text,
media clip art, and charts.

1. Title Slide - Used at the start of your presentation, or to divide sections of your presentation.

2. Title and Content - The default slide layout and the most commonly used slide layout.

3. Section Header - Use this slide type to separate different sections of the same presentation,
rather than use an additional Title slide. It can also be used as an alternate to the Title slide layout.

Two Content - Use this slide layout if you wish to show text in addition to a graphic content type.

Comparison - Similar to the Two Content slide layout, but this slide type also includes a heading text
box over each type of content.

Use this type of slide layout to -o compare two types of the same content type (for example - two
different charts) o show text in addition to a graphic content type

Title Only - Use this slide layout if you want to place only a title on the page, rather than a title and
subtitle. You can then insert other types of objects such as clip art, WordArt, pictures or charts if
desired.

Blank - A blank slide layout is often used when a picture or other graphic object that needs no further
information, will be inserted to cover the whole slide.

Content with Caption - Content (most often a graphic object such as a chart or picture) will be
placed on the right side of the slide. The left side allows for a title and text to describe the object.

Picture with Caption - The upper part of the slide is used to place a picture. Under the slide you can
add a title and descriptive text if desired
FORMATTING SLIDES:

Adding transitions to a slide show:

1. In slide or slide sorter view, select the slide or slides you want to add a transition to.

2. On the slide show menu, click slide transition.

on a slide or master.

For example – you can have a shaded background, a textured background, or a picture as the back
ground, I but you can use only one of these on a single slide.

When you change the background, you can apply the change to only the current slide or to all the
slides and the slide master.
Formatting slide with color scheme:

The slides can be rearranged slide sorter view. Slides can be dragged or cut and paste can be used

SLIDE TRANSITION:

PowerPoint is a presentation software program of the Microsoft Office package. PowerPoint uses
a graphical approach to presentations in the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of
the topic.
This program is widely utilized in business and classrooms and is an efficient tool when used for
training purposes.
It provides “Power to your Point. PowerPoint is one of the only computer programs to learn.
PowerPoint presentations can be made into photo albums, complete with music or narrations, to
distribute on CDs or DVDs. All in all, PowerPoint is a “one-stop-shop” to make successful
presentations for the business world, the classroom, or simply for your own personal use. In this
chapter, we’ll discuss some advanced features of PowerPoint.

Adding slide Transitions

Transitions between slides cover much more than some movement between one slide and the next.
Slide transitions in PowerPoint many options including timings and sounds.

In either the Slide Sorter or Normal view, select the slide or slides to which you want to apply the
transition to. Now, let’s do it practically.

Step 1: From the Menu ribbon, select the Transitions tab.

Step 2: The most commonly used animations will appear in the center. To preview more transition
options, click the down arrow.

Step 3: Select a transition from the list. Clicking it will apply the transition to the slide. You can also
select Apply to All to apply the same transition to all your slides.
Step 4: In the Duration option, enter the speed at which you want the transition to play.
Step 5: In the Sound field, use the drop-down menu to select a sound to play during a slide
transition, if desired.

Step 6: Indicate how you want the slide transition to occur by selecting an option under the Advance
Slide heading.
Select On mouse Click if you want the transition to take place when you click the left mouse
button.
Select Automatically After if you want the transition to occur after a specified time.
Use the up and down arrow keys in the blank box to specify the number of seconds which should
pass before the transition takes place.
ANIMATION EFFECTS, AUDIO INCLUSION, TIMERS:
Select the object you want to animate.On the Animations tab, click the More drop-down arrow in
the Animation group.

A drop-down menu of animation effects will appear. Select the desired effect.

.
The effect will apply to the object. The object will have a small number next to it to show that it has an
animation. In the Slide pane, a star symbol also will appear next to the slide.

At the bottom of the menu, you can access additional effects.


Effect options

Some effects will have options you can change. For example, with the Fly In effect you can
control which direction the object comes from.

These options can be accessed from the Effect Options command in the Animation group.
To remove an animation:
Select the small number located next to the animated object.

Working with animations

To add multiple animations to an object:

If you select a new animation from the the menu in the Animation group, it will replace the
object's current animation.

However, you'll sometimes want to place more than one animation on an object,
like Entrance and Exit effects.

To do this, you'll need to use the Add Animation command, which will allow you to keep your
current animations while adding new ones.

 Select an object.
 Click the Animations tab.
 In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add Animation command to view the available
animations.
 Select the desired animation effect.

.
 If the object has more than one effect, it will have a different number for each effect. The numbers
indicate the order in which the effects will occur.
To copy animations with the Animation Painter:

In some cases, you may want to apply the same effects to more than one object. You can do this
by copying the effects from one object to another using the Animation Painter.

In our example, we want to copy an animation from one slide to another because they have
similar layouts.

 Click the object that has the effects you want to copy. In our example, we'll click our answer text.

.
 From the Animations tab, click the Animation Painter command.

.
 Click the object you want to copy the effects to. In our example, we'll click the answer text on the
next slide. Both objects now have the same effect.

To preview animations:

Any animation effects you have applied will show up when you play the slide show.

However, you can also quickly preview the animations for the current slide without viewing the
slide show.
 Navigate to the slide you want to preview.
 From the Animations tab, click the Preview command. The animations for the current slide will
play.

The Animation Pane

The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the current slide.
You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane, which is especially useful
when you have several effects.

To open the Animation Pane:


 From the Animations tab, click the Animation Pane command.

.
 The Animation Pane will open on the right side of the window. It will show all of the effects for
the current slide in the order in which they will appear.
.

If you have several animated objects, it may help to rename them before reordering them in the
Animation Pane. You can rename them in the Selection pane.

To open the Selection Pane, click an object, then from the Format tab click Selection pane.
Double-click the name of an object to rename it.

To reorder effects from the Animation Pane:


 On the Animation Pane, click and drag an effect up or down.
.
 The effects will reorder themselves.

To preview effects from the Animation Pane:


 From the Animation Pane, click the Play button.

.
 The effects for the current slide will play. On the right side of the Animation Pane, you will be able
to see a timeline that shows the progress through each effect.

If the timeline is not visible, click the drop-down arrow for an effect, then select Show Advanced
Timeline.
To change an effect's start option:

By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If you have
multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect individually.

However, by changing the start option for each effect, you can have effects that automatically
play at the same time or one after the other.

 From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect.

.
 Click the drop-down arrow and select one of the three desired start options. Start on Click will
start the effect when the mouse is clicked, Start With Previous will start the effect at the same
time as the previous effect, and Start After Previous will start the effect when the previous
effect ends.
.

When you preview the animations, all of the effects will play through automatically. To test effects that
are set to Start on Click, you will need to play the slide show.

TIMERS:

PowerPoint timer common uses

Adding a PowerPoint countdown timer can be really useful when doing presentations:

A timer helps you and your audience know how much time has passed.

Timers are handy when you have a time limit you need to be aware of. For example, if you are
quizzing your audience, a countdown timer in the presentation will help them know how much time
they have left to answer your questions.

You can even use PowerPoint timers for a presentation break to ensure your audience knows exactly
when they’re expected to be back in their seats.
How do you put a timer on PowerPoint?
Adding a PowerPoint timer countdown is actually really easy! Here, you’ll find 3 ways to insert
them in your presentation slides. Let’s take a look at each one of them.
Option 1: Free PowerPoint Countdown Timer Add-ins
The easiest way to add a free countdown timer to your presentation is through a PowerPoint add-in.

You just need to open PowerPoint and go to the Insert ribbon > Get Add-ins.

This will take you directly to the Add-in store of Microsoft Office. Once there, you just need to type
“timer” in the search bar, and you’ll get all the options PowerPoint has to offer.
There are many options from where to choose, and you can pick whichever fits best your
own needs. My personal favorites are PP Timer, EasyTimer, and Breaktime.

PowerPoint Timers Add-in Recommendation

PP Timer

PP Timer is one of the best options! They offer digital and analog timers, and they both look
professional yet visually appealing.

What's fantastic about PP Timer is the level of customization it offers. You can personalize
the time, font type and size, the text displayed at the beginning and end, a background image, and
even include a last-minute countdown.

EasyTimer

EasyTimer offers three options for PowerPoint countdown timers: A square analog clock, a digital
one, and a bar countdown timer.

Just as its name says, it’s very easy to use, and you just need to add your time. You can also
customize if you want a ticking noise as the seconds pass and a time’s up alarm.
Breaktime

Breaktime is ideal for those looking for a PowerPoint countdown timer for a presentation’s
break. As with Easy Timer, you need to type in how much time you want to countdown.

The best thing about Breaktime is that you can add a themed background to your timer. It offers
different design options, like coffee, books, and lunch. This is what the coffee break would look like:
The only downside of these options is that they’re not very customizable. If you have an amazing
PowerPoint design, these presentation timers will probably not fit very well.

If you want a truly customized feature, chances are you are going to have to do it yourself.

In the next section, I’ll show you how to make your own PowerPoint countdown timer - step by
step!
Option 2: Create Your Own PowerPoint Timers

Making your own PowerPoint countdown timer is easier than you might think. Here you’ll find three
different versions of PowerPoint timers that are very easy to do on your own.

Bar PowerPoint Countdown Timer

A bar PowerPoint timer is one of the easiest and most effective ways to convey passing time. You
just need to follow these easy instructions:

1. Create the timer shape base


Go to the slide you will work on and draw a bar wherever you want your bar to be. Take into
consideration that it’ll look cleaner if the end of the timer (where it’ll disappear towards) fits the
border of the slide. Use the Insert tab > Shape > Rectangle to draw it.

2.

2. Add movement
Select the shape and go to the Animations Tab. Select Add Animation, and pick the Fly
Out option on the “Exit” group.
2. Make it look like a timer!

Now it’s time to customize the animation so it looks like a countdown timer! On the
Animation Tabs, click Effect Options. Here you’ll be able to choose in which direction you want
your timer to disappear.

If it’s a vertical bar, To Bottom is your pick! In the case of a horizontal bar PowerPoint timer,
select “To Left” or “To Right” as you prefer.
4. Customize your timer’s duration

Finally, let’s add the time. On the far right of the Animation Tab, on the “Timing” group, type
into Duration how much time you want your timer to countdown. And now you have a
customized PowerPoint countdown timer!

Make sure to check out that its start cue is On click (also in the “Timing” group”) so you can
control exactly when the countdown begins. If any of these options are unavailable when you’re trying
to follow these instructions, then you might not have your shape selected. Just click on your rectangle
and try again!

Clock PowerPoint Countdown Timer

Making a clock PowerPoint countdown timer is very similar to the bar one, and it’s also very easy.
1. Pick your timer base shape

First, you need to pick the shape that’s going to work as your countdown clock. Take into
consideration that it needs to be a shape, not an image.
You need to be able to select only the inner circle of the clock (or the part you want to shade), in
order to make it work.

You can also use an icon for this. Templates by 24Slides offer a wide array of icons you can
download completely for free. There are hundreds of templates, so you’ll definitely find something that
fits your needs!
2. Pick your timer’s color
Select your shape and use the Shape Format Tab > Shape Fill to add color to it. This is how your
countdown clock will look when time’s up.
3. Add movement
While still selecting your shape, go to the Animations Tab > Add Animation > Wheel option in
the “Entrance” group.

3. Customize your timer’s duration


Now all you need is to type your time in Duration (On the Animation Tab > “Timing” group), just
like in the bar PowerPoint timer.

It should end up looking something like this:


4. Rename the Shape
Go to Shape Format > Selection Pane, and double-click on the shape's name. Next, rename the
shape to "countdown."
3. Access VBA Module
Open the Developer tab > View Code. Right-click on the VBA module and choose Insert > Module.

4.Set up Action on the Slide:

Return to the slide and select the rectangle shape. Go to Insert > Action, and choose Run macro.
To confirm your changes, click OK.
5.View your countdown timer in presenter mode

And you’re done! To view your countdown timer, go to the Slide Show Mode and click on the
rectangle shape to initiate the countdown.
