Study Notes
Major Operations of Computer Components
-
Inputting
- Process of entering raw data, instructions, and information into a computer.
- Input devices like keyboards, mice, and scanners facilitate this process.
- Data is transmitted to the CPU for further processing after inputting.
-
Processing
- Converts raw data into useful information.
- The CPU performs this operation, handling arithmetic computations, logical operations, and data transport.
- Processed data is sent back to storage after conversion.
-
Storing
- Involves primary memory (RAM) and secondary storage (hard disk drives, solid-state drives).
- Primary memory temporarily holds data and instructions for CPU processing.
- Secondary storage provides long-term data storage for programs and information not in active use.
-
Outputting
- Presents processed data through output devices such as monitors, printers, and speakers.
- Results of the CPU's processing are displayed or printed post-completion.
-
Controlling
- Managed by the control unit within the CPU.
- Ensures all operations execute correctly and in the proper sequence.
- The main circuit board connects computer components and regulates data flow between them for proper functioning.
