Computer software-meaning and types

Image
Software is sometimes said to be the language of the computer-it is a collection of programs or instructions developed by a firm whose product possesses a processor; software is therefore a set of programs or instructions intended to achieve an assigned task. It is the collection of instructions that the computer has to perform or instruct the nonphysical components of the computer to do, programs and proprietory, open software, shareware and freeware. Types Of Software- 1.Application Software- Application Software is the computer program which assists in accomplishing a specific task or activity.Application software differs from system software as it is mainly focused on the productivity of end-users rather than hardware and basic system operations. 2.Programming Software- Programming Software refers to tools and platforms that developers use for writing,testing,debugging,and managing software code.These tools stremline as it application development and ensure that the written code ts...

Computer Software

Image
  Introduction Of Computer Software-         Computer software is basically a set of instructions, data, or programs used for operating computers and performing other specific tasks. It's the non-physical component of a computer, alongside hardware, which includes the tangible parts. Without software, computer hardware is essentially non-functional.                              What is Computer Software-                                           Computer software is that set of instructions, data, or programs which explains to the computer what must be done. Hardware describes the physical parts of the computer; however, since software is intangible, its composition involves digital code and runs on the hardware. Computer Software Key Characteristics- 1. Intangibility Softwar...

Types of Computer

Image
  There   are   a   variety   of computers ,  differentiated   according   to  size, purpose, and functionality. 1.Super Computer- Purpose: Extremely powerful   with   specific   application   to   complex calculations and data processing. Uses: Weather forecasting, nuclear simulations, scientific research, and cryptography. Examples: IBM Summit, Fugaku.   2.Main frame Computer- Purpose: Large systems used by an organization to handle critical applications and massive data processing. Uses: Systems for banking, airline reservations, and census. Features: Highly reliable and scalable. Examples: IBM Z Series. 3.Mini Computer- Purpose: Smaller than  the  mainframes but powerful enough  to   cater to  specific  needs  in industries. Uses:  Process control  in manufacturing , database management. Examples: PDP-11, AS/400. 4.Personal Computer- Purpose: Built for personal use...

Storage Devices

Image
 Storage devices refer to hardware components or mediums used for the storage of digital information. They are crucial in computing in saving, retrieving, and managing data. Storage devices vary by type depending upon the purpose they are meant to perform-a larger capacity, faster speed, or superior portability. Types of Storage Devices 1. Primary Storage Volatile: Data is lost  as   soon as  the device is  switched  off. Examples: RAM (Random Acceses Memory): A temporary memory used for active processes. 2. Secondary Storage Non-volatile:  The  data  remains   in   memory  even when the device is  turned  off. Examples: Hard Disk Drive (HDD): Magnetic storage with large capacity but it's slow. Solid State Drive (SSD): It is much faster, durable, and efficient as compared to HDDs. Hybrid Drives: Balances between HDD and SSD technologies. 3. Portable Storage  Optimized for portability and data transfer. Examples: ...

Output Display Devices

Image
  Output devices are hardware  that  is  utilized  to output or print the processed information. Output devices :   monitor (display screen), printer, plotter, speaker, computer output microfilm etc . 1.Moniter- A monitor is an output device that presents information in a visual format and, therefore, primarily used with the computer. It is an essential component of a computer setup, as it provides a graphical user interface, allowing people to access written text, images, or videos, as well as run applications. The resolution monitors can be classified - 1. CGA (Colour Graphics Adapter)  2. MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter)  3. HGA (Hercules Graphics Adapter)  4. EGA (Enhanced Graphics Adapter)  5. VGA (Video Graphics Adapter)                                                      6 . SVGA (Super Video Grap...

Input Devices

Image
An input device is any machine that feeds data,information,and instruction into a computer.We may classify input device into two broad categories:                      1.Basic input device.                               2.Specilized input device. Basic Input Devices: The input devices required to operate a PC called basic input devices.These devices are always required for basic input operation.These devices include the keyboard and the mouse. Special Input Devices :Input Devices that are not required to operate a PC are called special input device.These device are used for various special purpose and are essential for basic input operation ,These devices include trackballs,light pens,touch screen,joysticks,digitizers,scanners,optical mark readers (OMR),bar code readers(BCR),optical character readers(OCR),magnetic stripe character recognition(MICR)and vo...

Anatomy Of Computers

Image
          The Internal structure of computer varies from one model to another.But the basic components of a computer remain the from model to model.To function properly,a computer requires both hardware and software.Hardware consists of mechanical and electronic device that we can see and touch.keyboard,monitor,DVD are some example of computer hardware.software consists of program,operating system and data that resides in memory and stores in the device.Java,microsoft office,open office are some example of computer software.  A Computer mainly performs the four function- 1.Receive input- Accept information from outside through varius input devices like keyboard,mouse etc. 2.Process information- Perform arithmetic or logical operation on the information.  3.Produce Output- Communicate information to the outside world through output devices such device as monitors,printers,etc.   4.Store information- Store information in storage devices such as hard...
