An electronic device does calculations on data, and thus present the result to otherdevices or its users in various ways is known as a computer. The computer comprises of boththe hardware’s as well as the software’s required to make the functioning of the computerpossible.Computer hardware is the corporeal part of a computer, which includes the digitalcircuitry, as eminent from the computer software that does its executions inside the hardware.Computer software is a common term used to explain an anthology of computer programs,procedures and documentation that execute some task on a computer system.The five major functions or operations performed by acomputer irrespective of theirsize and make are as follows1. Input:This is theprocedureofinflowingdata and programs in to theprocessorsystem.Acomputer is an electronic machinesimilar toeveryotherappliancewhich takes raw dataasinputandcarries outsomedispensationgenerating theprocessed data.Consequently, theinput unit takes data from usersto the computersystemin aprearrangedformatforprocessing.2.
