What are the four basic functions of a computer system?

At a fundamental level, computers operate through these four functions: input, output, processing, and storage. Input: the transfer of information into the system (e.g., through a keyboard). Output: the presentation of information to the user (e.g., on a screen). Processing: the retrieval or manipulation of information into a new form (e.g., results from a search engine). Storage: the storing or preservation of information for later use (e.g., files stored on a hard drive).
