    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.
