What is computer?

Definition :

                Computer is a device( most probably electrical but not all, to understand this go to Generations /History of computer)which take Data as input, process and give output in the form of information.
               
                              

Explanation :

                This definition is in simple terms to understand the computer. All types of computers are working in the same paradigm. To understand computer definition, we first understand our brain processing system.

Example :

* If any one ask with you about address of any location you follow this simple algorithm steps,

STEP 1:  Listen location name(Address) from stranger.
STEP 2:  Understand the location.
STEP 3:  Trace out location on your brain.
STEP 4:   Now you direct the shortest way to stranger to reach his location.

                Step 1 inputting data on your brain. Step 2 ,Step 3  is processing address, Visualization of shortest way in your brain, Finally Step 4 giving information to stranger. 

****THANK YOU****

Characteristics of computers

    Characteristics:        All computers have similar characteristics, which tells how computers are efficient to perform task. Computers have some Limitations also. Speed:     Computer can work very fast. It takes only few seconds for calculations on very large amount of data. Computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions per second.      We measure the speed of computer in terms of microsecond (10-6 part of a second) or nanosecond (10 to the power -9 part of a second).   Accuracy:        The degree of accuracy of computer is very high and every calculation is performed with the same accuracy.  The errors in computer are due to human and inaccurate data.       The calculation done by computer are 100% error free, If we provide accurate input. Diligence:        A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration...

DS LAB FOR II YEAR

1.SINGLE LINKED LIST Procedure for creation of single linked list: STEP-1 : Declaring a variable named as “item”.Ie the element what we place in the linkedlist of the new node.         STEP-2 : Read the value   in “item”. Set first=last=null and next=null. STEP-3: Create a new node named as temp and assign the variable item to data part andassign Address of the node temp to null.       temp.data=item;       temp.next=null; STEP-4: Check   the address part of the first node Check if first=null Then assign first=last=temp Other wise Then assign the new node tolast.next=temp          last=temp STEP-6 : Repeat STEP-3 until you read required nodes. Procedure for display the linked list: STEP-1 : Check whether the list having nodes or not i.e Check if first=null        ...

Block diagram of computer

    The basic architecture of computer explained in Blocks is called Block Diagram of computer. This basic architecture of computer finally given by John V on Neumann. Thus it is also called  V on Neumann  architecture. It  is a theoretical design for computer that serves as the basis for almost all modern computers. Input Unit:      We need to input (fed) the data and instructions into the computers to process any task. The input unit consists of one or more input devices.      Keyboard is the one of the most commonly used input device. Other commonly used input devices are the mouse. Output Unit:     The output unit of a computer provides the information and results of a computation to outside world.        Printers, Visual Display Unit (VDU) are the commonly used output devices.   Storage Unit:      The storage unit of the computer holds data and in...
