A computer is an electronic device that takes input, processes data, stores data, and produces output.

Computer architecture refers to the design and organization of a computer's internal components.
It includes the way these components interact with each other and the flow of data between them.

The structure in computer architecture refers to the static arrangement of computer parts, also known as hardware components.
The organization in computer architecture refers to the dynamic interaction of computer parts, including the flow of data and instructions.

The purpose of computer architecture is to design and organize a computer's components to achieve efficient processing and storage of data.
Computer architecture includes the design of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), the organization of the CPU, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, and bus structures.
