Question

Define between analogue and digital computer

Answer 1

Digital computers deal with mathematical variables in form of numbers that represent discrete values of physical quantities. The advantages of digital computers are that they are versatile, reprogrammable, accurate, and less affected by outside disturbances. In contrast to analog computers, digital machines work on numbers. Each variable is converted into numbers and each number into binary form, i.e. 0 and 1. It is this combination of 0 and 1 that does all the calculations. All modern computers, laptops, and calculators are all digital computers.

Analogue computer is a computer which uses continuously changeable entities like mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, etc. quantities in any problem which is being solved.Analogue computers are used in some specific applications, like the flight computer in aircraft, ships, submarines, and some appliances around us like the refrigerator, speedometer of your bike, etc.
