The Physical Component of the Computer is called Hardware.
Logical Component of the Computer is called Software.
There are two types- System Software & Application Software
System Softwares (Eg) :
Application Softwares (Eg) :
The brain of the computer that performs most of the processing.
It carries out instructions from programs by executing basic arithmetic, logical, control, and input/output operations.
A part of the CPU responsible for performing arithmetic (addition, subtraction) and logic (comparisons like greater than, less than) operations.
This stores data and instructions for the CPU to process.
Two main types:
RAM (Random Access Memory): Temporary storage used while the computer is running.
ROM (Read-Only Memory): Permanent storage for essential instructions, like booting up the computer.
It control the all other units
This includes devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) used to send data to the computer for processing.
Devices (monitor, printer, etc.) that display or output the results of the computer's processing to the user.
Algorithm is the step by step insteraction to slove any mathiematical or decision making problems. Should be written in simple english language.
The Victorial art diagrametic representation of an algorithm is called Flowchart.
\Pesudocode is the way to write program code in simple english to understand by humanbeing. should be in simple english language, Key words should be in capital form.
