Computer Fundamentals: Components, Operation, and Data Storage
What is a Computer? A computer is an electronic machine used to process digital information. Digital information is expressed in terms of 0 and 1, i.e., in binary numbering.
Basic Operation
- We provide input data to the computer in digital format.
