DATA AND INFORMATION

There is a little difference between data and information. Data are the facts or details from which information is derived.

Data 

Data comes from a singular Latin word "datum" which originally meant "something given." its early usage dates back to the 1600's. Over time data has become the plural of datum.

information

It is a processed form of data. In other words, when data is processed, organized, structured and useful. For e.g. 32 is data and age 32 is information. Which means information is understandable form.

Components of Computer System

By
A system is defined as a set of interacting elements, responding to inputs so as to produce outputs. The computer system also consists of the following elements or components. Software Hardware Firmware Humanware   Software All the intangible components of the computer system are known as software In other words, we can say that all computer programs and applications run behind the monitor screen, are known as software. Computer software is a term that describes computer programs. Example   Microsoft-windows (all operating system software) and notepad, MS office suite, window media player(application software). Software is further divided into two parts these are following 1) system software 2) application software Hardware All tangible component of a computer system is known as hardware. In other words, computer hardware is the collection of physical parts of the computer system. Example  CPU(Microprocessor), monitor, keyboard,...

Computer Registers

By
Computer  registers are  very fast computer memory type, used to store data/instruction. A computer  Register  is a group of flip-flops with each flip-flop capable of storing  one bit  of information. An  n-bit  register has a group of  n flip-flops  and is capable of storing binary information of  n-bits . A register consists of a group of flip-flops and gates. The flip-flops hold the binary information and gates control when and how new information is transferred into a register. Various types of registers are available commercially. The simplest register is one that consists of only flip-flops with no external gates. Following are some commonly used registers: Accumulator : This is the most common register, used to store data taken out from the memory. General Purpose Registers : This is used to store data intermediate results during program execution. It can be accessed via assembly programming. Special Purpose Registers : ...

Characteristics Of Computers System || You Should Know

By
The characteristics of computers that have made them so powerful and universally useful are speed, accuracy, diligence, versatility, and storage capacity. Let us discuss them briefly. Speed: -  As you know the computer can work very fast. It takes only a few seconds for calculations that we take hours to complete. You will be surprised to know that a computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions and even more per second. Therefore, we determine the speed of the computer in terms of a microsecond (10-6 part of a second) or nanosecond (10 to the power -9 part of a second). From this, you can imagine how fast your computer performs work.  Diligence:   A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours without creating any errors. If millions of calculations are to be performed, a computer will perform every calculation with the same accuracy. Due to this capability, it overpowers ...
