    Study Notes

    Computer Processes

    • Input-Output: This process describes the fundamental operation of a computer. Data enters the system as input, is processed internally, and then results are outputted.

    Algorithms in Computer Science

    • Algorithms are a set of well-defined instructions that a computer can follow to solve a particular problem or complete a task. They are the foundation of all software and applications.

    Computer Performance

    • Central Processing Unit (CPU): This component is the "brain" of the computer, responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and controlling the overall processing of data. It's a major determinant of a computer's performance.

    Bandwidth in Networking

    • Bandwidth: This term refers to the capacity of a communication channel. It measures the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time, often expressed in bits per second (bps). A higher bandwidth generally indicates faster data transfer speeds.

    Compiler's Purpose

    • Compilers: These are software programs that translate code written in a high-level programming language (like C++ or Java) into machine-readable code (like assembly or binary). This allows the computer to understand and execute the instructions.
