Hardware
The mechanical device that makes up the computer is called
hardware.
Hardware is any part of computer that you can touch.
A computer is hardware consist of interconnected electronic device
that a use to control the compute’s operation, input or output.
The generic term device refers to any piece of hardware.
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
Software
Software is a set of instruction that makes the computer performs the
task.
Software tells the computer what to do.
The term program refers to any piece of software.
Data
Data consist of individual fact or piece of information.
The computer primary job is to process these tiny pieces of data in
various ways, converting them into useful information.
user
Peoples are the computer operator are also
called user.
Information processing cycle
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
Computer converts data into information-various action on the
data.
For example a computer might perform a mathematic
operation on two no’s and display the result or perform logical
operation.
the operation are part of the process called “ information
processing cycle” which is set of steps the computer follow to
receive data, process the data, according to instruction form a
program, display the resulting information to the user and store
data.
Input
During this part of cycle the computer accept data from the source,
such as user or a program for processing.
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
Processing
During this part of cycle the computer processing component
performs action on the data, based on instruction, from the user or
program.
Output
Computer may be required to display the result of its processing
For example, result appear in text, number or graphic on the
computer screen or sound or the speaker, output through printer, or
through network or internet.
Storage
In this step, the computers store the result of its processing on the
disk, tape, or some kind of storage medium.
Essential computer hardware.

is storage.
Processing device
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
The procedure that transforms raw data into useful information is
processing to perform this transformation.
Computer use two components
The processor and memory
Processor is like a brain of computer; it organizes and carried out
instructions that come from either the user or the software.
Processor consist of one or more specialized chips called
“microprocessor” which are silvers of silicon or other material
attached with many tiny electronic circuits.
Micro processor
To process data or complete on instruction
from a user or a program, the computer passes
electricity through the circuit.
The microprocessor is plugged into
computer’s motherboard
The mother board is rigid rectangular card containing the
circuitry that connects the process to the other hardware.
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
The mother board is an example of a circuit board.
The personal computer’s processor is usually single chips or set
of chips on circuit board.
The CPU (central processing unit) refers to computer processor.
Memory devices
Memory is one or more set of chips
that store data and / or program
instruction temporarily or permanently.
Memory has two categories Ram and Rom or volatile and non
volatile.
RAM (random access memory) or volatile memory is like an
electronic scratch pad inside the computer.
ROM
ROM holds data and program
instruction temporally while CPU
work.
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
RAM
When program is launched, it is
loaded and run from the memory as
the program needs data it is loaded
into memory for faster access. As new data outer into the
computer, it is also store temporarily.
Data is both written to or read from this memory also called read
written memory.
Ram is volatile meaning that it loses it content when the
computer shut of or power failure.
Stores data is bytes(kb, MB ,GB)
Rom (read only memory) or non volatile memory; stores data
permanently, it never loses its content.
When ever computers turned on it check rom for direction that
help it startup and for information about its hardware device.
Introduction to computer
IMTIAZ ALI J
Input or output devices
Input device
Input device accept data and instruction form the user or from
another computer system.
Ex; mouse, keyboard, track ball, touchpad, joystick, scanner,
digital camera, microphone.
Output device
Output device returned process data to the user or another system.
Ex; monitor, printer, speaker,
Some devise are both input and output like touch screen.
Communication devices are also both input and output device.
Storage devices
The purpose of storage devices is to hold data permanently even
computer turn off.
Storage devices operate much slower than memory chips but
storage is much cheaper than memory.
