Comprehensive Overview: Classification of Computers - Microcomputers, Minicomputers, Mainframes, and Supercomputers

The PPT on the classification of computers provides a detailed overview of different types of computers including microcomputers, minicomputers, mainframes, and supercomputers. It covers their definitions, components, uses, and examples, illustrating how each type serves specific functions across various industries.

1. Classification of computers

2. A computer is an electronic device that processes raw data to give information as output.

3. Types of computers Digital computer any of a class of devices capable of solving problems by processing information in discrete form. It operates on data, including magnitudes, letters, and symbols, that are expressed in binary code—i.e., using only the two digits 0 and 1. By counting, comparing, and manipulating. Analog Computer An analog computer is a type of computer that uses physical quantities, like electrical voltages or currents, to solve mathematical problems. It works with continuously changing values, unlike digital computers that use discrete numbers like 0 and 1.

4. HYBRID COMPUTERS A hybrid computer is a type of computer that combines the features of both analog and digital computers. It uses analog techniques for specific parts of its operations and digital techniques for others.
