Basics of Computers
Definition: A computer is an electronic device that accepts data, processes it, and produces
output. It works on the principle of Input → Process → Output.
Functions of a Computer
1. Input: Takes data from input devices like a keyboard, mouse, etc.
2. Processing: The CPU processes the input data according to the instructions.
3. Storage: Data is stored in memory (RAM, ROM, Hard Disk, etc.).
4. Output: Displays results on output devices like monitors, printers, etc.
5. Control: Control Unit (CU) in CPU controls the flow of data and instructions.

2. Types of Computers
1. Supercomputers:
o Used in scientific research, weather forecasting, and space exploration.
