Computer:- computer is an electronic device . which is used to comput organise store information and used to process data . It is also for to arithmetic calculation
Characteristics of computer:-
➡Speed
➡Accuracy
➡Diligence
➡Storage capacity/memory
➡Vasatility
➡Reliability
➡Power of remembering
➡Compactness
Speed:-
Computer can process millions of instruction in seconds.
Same calculation that would have taken hours and day to complete can be completed in a few seconds using the computer
The speed of computer is calculated in (MIPS) (millions of instruction per second)
Accuracy:-
A computer provides a high degree of accuracy
Every calculation is performer with the same accuracy.
Diligence:-
❤Computer can work for hours without any break or boredom.
❤It does not get tried.
❤It can perform complex.
❤Calculation with the same speed and accuracy from the start till the end.
Storage capacity/(memory)
Computer can store very large amount of data
We have many storage devices like CD, DVD etc
Versatility :-
Computers can be used to perform different types of tasks.
At one point of time you can type a document. The next moment you can listen to a song or watch a video.
Compactness :-
Day by day computer size is decreasing with new technology
Reliability:-
It we give wrong input can we recalled at any time.
Power of remembering :-
The data stored in the computer can we recalled at any time.
