Computer Programming By Raj Mohammed UNIT-I
A computer is a data processor. It can accept input, which may be either data or instructions or both. The computer remembers the input by storing it in memory cells. It then processes the stored input by performing calculations or by making logical comparisons or both. It gives out the result of the arithmetic or logical computations as output information. The computer accepts input and outputs data in an alphanumerical form.
Characteristics of a Computer: There are various characteristics of computers which make this advantages possible.
