ICT - Lecture - Computer Basic Operation, Study notes of Information and Communications Technology (ICT)

The basic operations of a computer, including inputting, storing, processing, outputting, and controlling. It also describes the functions of the output unit, arithmetic and logic unit, and CPU. The CPU is considered the brain of the computer and performs all types of data processing operations. It stores data, intermediate results, and instructions and controls the operation of all parts of the computer.

Basic operations of computer

Inputting

The process of data and instruction entering in to the computer is called inputting.

Storing

Save data and instruction to Make them ready available for initial and additional processing whenever required.

Processing

Performing arithmetic operations(add,subtract,multiply,divide etc) or logical operation (comparison like equal to, less than, greater than, etc.) on data to convert them into useful information. Outputting The process of producing usefull information or results for the user such as a printed report or visual display. Controlling Directing the manner and sequence in which all of the above operation are performed.

Input unit

An input unit of computer system perform the following functions:

  • (^) It accept or read instruction and data from outside world
  • (^) It convert these instruction and data in computer acceptable form
  • (^) It supplies the converted instructions and data to the computer system for further processing

Output unit

An output unit of computer system perform the following functions:

  • (^) It accept the result produced by the computer which are in coded form and hence and cannot be easily understood by us
  • (^) It convert these coded results to human acceptable(readable) form
  • (^) It supplies the converted result to outside world

CPU(Central Processing Unit)

Central Processing Unit (CPU) consists of the following features −

  • (^) CPU is considered as the brain of the computer.
  • (^) CPU performs all types of data processing operations.
  • (^) It stores data, intermediate results, and instructions (program).
  • (^) It controls the operation of all parts of the computer.

CPU

CPU itself has following three components.

  • (^) Memory or Storage Unit
  • (^) Control Unit
  • (^) ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
