Basic operations performed by any computer System
In the many years of development of
computer the size, speed,
shape, performance ,reliability and cost of computer were being changed but
structure(based on the stored program concept),as proposed by Von Neumann has not
changed. There is no matter what the shape, size of computer we are talking
about, every computer system perform the 5 basic operations of converting our
raw data to the useful information and presenting it to a user.
1} Input: Entering of data and instructions
into a computer system.
2} Storing: Saving of data and instructions
to make available when it being required for further processing.
3} Processing: Performing operation like
addition, subtraction,
multiplication, Divide, Mod, equal, less,
greater, etc. to convert useful information.
4} Output: After processing of data to
produce it into the printed or hardcopy of any information for user to easily
movable.
5}
Controlling: Directing the manner and sequence in which the operations are
being performed.
