    Study Notes

    Computer Classification

    • Types of Computers:
      • Microcomputer: Commonly used for personal or home tasks.
      • Mainframe computer: Utilized in large organizations, e.g., for Credit Card processing.
      • Supercomputer: Employed in specialized fields such as aerospace, automotive, and petroleum industries.

    Computer Languages

    • Machine Language:
      • Written in binary code (1s and 0s).
      • Directly understood by computers, no intermediary required.
    • Assembly Language:
      • Uses mnemonic codes as instructions.
    • High-Level Language:
      • Machine independent, enables cross-platform compatibility.

    Programming Languages

    • BASIC: Developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1964, aimed at beginners.
    • PASCAL: Created by Niklaus Wirth, emphasizes structured programming.
    • C++: Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, supports object-oriented programming.
    • Python: Created by Guido van Rossum, known for ease of use and readability.
    • Java: Developed by James Gosling, platform-independent with widespread application.

    Mail Merge

    • Definition: Process for customizing multiple documents using a single data source (e.g., names and addresses).
    • Applications: Sending personalized letters, invitations, labels, and certificates.
    • Software: Microsoft Word is commonly used for creating address books and mail merge documents.

    Table Operations

    • Cell: Intersection of a row and column in a table.
    • Creating Tables: Possible through Table tab, Insert menu, or by drawing.
    • Editing Tables: Includes splitting cells and merging adjacent cells.
    • AutoFit Contents: Ensures table fits within the document margins.

    Keyboard Shortcuts

    • Shift + Tab: Move from cell to cell in a table (right to left).
    • Alt + Page Up: Go to the beginning of a column.
    • Alt +: Go to the beginning of a row.
    • Alt + -->: Go to the end of a column.

    True/False Statements

    • Cells can be combined into one: True
    • Table alignment is not possible: False
    • Default border of tables: Black border: True
    • Cells cannot be modified post-creation: False

    Fill in the Blanks

    • A series of vertical cells in a table is known as a Column.
    • The intersection of a row and a column is a Cell.
    • Merging combines multiple cells into one larger cell.

    General Notes

    • Low-Level Language vs. High-Level Language: Low-level languages are closer to machine code; high-level languages are user-friendly and abstract complex operations.
    • Advantages of High-Level Languages: Easier debugging, improved readability, and support for complex data structures.
