Study Notes
Computer Workflow
- The typical workflow of a computer involves input, processing, storage, and output.
Memory and Storage
- A computer can remember a set of data and instructions to be executed through its memory.
- The primary memory, also known as RAM, retains data temporarily while the computer is executing it.
- Primary memory is costly, fast, and limited in size.
- Secondary memory, on the other hand, is non-volatile, slower, and larger in size, and its characteristics include data being retained even when the power is off.
- Examples of secondary memory devices include hard discs and compact discs (CDs).
Input and Processing
- Input devices, such as keyboards, convert given data into machine-readable form while entering data into the computer.
- The central processing unit (CPU) performs arithmetic and logical computations.
Programming
- A set of step-by-step instructions to perform a given task, written in machine-understandable format, is referred to as a program.
