Question

Explain how sharpening a pencil is an example of ipo cycle

Answer 1

Answer:

IPO stands for input>process>output.

Here, the input is data(raw facts and figures) which is fed by the user for processing, supported by storage and finally the output is given in the form of information (processed data is information)

Answer 2

Answer:

Input-Process-Output (IPO) Cycle

An Input-Process-Output (IPO) cycle is a system consisting of inputs, outputs , and the steps required to convert inputs to outputs. The components of the IPO cycle are described below.

• Input (I)-Given information, idea, or resource  
• Processing (P)-Action taken to convert input to output
• Output (O)-Result of processing

IPO cycle is also called IPO + S model where S is for storage since the model stores output. The computer saves the output for future use.

Sharpening the pencil example:

Let's understand this using the example given.

Take a pencil. The pencil is  sharpened. There is a pencil sharpener and the shavings remain.

Noe in the example, we take a pencil to provide it to sharpener, making pencil the input and sharpener the processing unit. The left products are the sharpened pencil along with the shavings, making them the outputs.
