breifly explain the structure of computer system
Answers
The Computer System consists of three vital parts.
- The Input Unit.
- The Central Processing Unit.
- The Output Unit.
1. The Input Unit.
To 'input' implies to give data/enter data. The Input Unit hence comprises of the devices with which we are able to give in data. This unit acts as a connection between the user and the Computer System.
Example: Keyboard, webcam, microphone, etc.
2. The Central Processing Unit [CPU].
This Unit is considered to be the 'brain' of the System. The data that we enter into our devices is of a language that cannot be understood by the System. This will hence call for a Unit that translates our data into machine readable form [mostly comprising of binary digits].
3. The Output Unit.
Once our task is over, the System will require a medium to display the results. This Unit is again a connection between the user and the System.
Example: Monitor, printer, speakers, etc.
