1. Computer can perform many functions: they can do mathematical and
logical
operations, mathematical operations including arithmetic and
algebraic operations, such as addition, multiplication and division, rising to
a power, differentiating and integrating. Logical operations include
comparing, selecting, sorting and matching.
2. Computers are divided into four main classes: microcomputers,
minicomputers, mainframes and supercomputers.
3. A minicomputer is a computer manufactured
on a single printed board
which contains one or more chips. Most microcomputers are personal
computers. At present personal computers have become so powerful that
they are used as CAD/CAM systems.
4. A microprocessor is very small
device used in microcomputers, which
deals with memories by reading and writing process. Microprocessor can
obtain from memory and execute a limited set
of instructions in order to
105
perform addition or subtraction on a binary word and to input or output
binary data.
5. Memory is a device for storing digital information. Memory should be
small in size and large in capacity. It should take
little power and work at
the same speed as computer logic. There are many types of memories. All
microcomputers use Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only
Memory (ROM).
6. RAM is called so because information can be put into or out of any
single byte of memory. ROM is permanent memory for program storage.
7. People know many types of units, hard disks and floppy disks being
widely used. Floppy disks (flexible plastic disks)
are used in personal
computers.
