The characteristics of a computer can be described as the features or qualities of the computer such as:
Speed accuracy memory logical versatility automation consistency and storage
Computer works automatically without any hindrance but they need human command to perform
specific task
4. What is computer fully explanation?
A computer is a machine that uses electronic to input process storage and output data. Data is
information such as numbers word and list. inputs of data means to read information from a keyboard a
storage device like a hand drive or a sensor.
5. What are the five types of computer science?
Five computing discipline are:
Computer science
Information technology (it)
Software engineering
Computer engineering
Data science
6. What is RAM in computer?
RAM is a common computing acronyms that stand for random access memory sometimes it's called PC
memory or just memory.
7. Who is the father of computer Charles Babbage he was born in 26 December 1791-18 October 1871)
he was an English polymath. Mathematician philosopher inventor and mechanical engineer. Babbage
originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Babbage is considered by some to be father
of the computer.
8. What does CPU stand for?
CPU stands for "central processing unit"
It is the primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing and control functions.
It is also commonly referred to as a "processor" the CPU is responsible for executing instructions and
manipulating data in a computer system
9. What is rom?
ROM MEANS READ ONLY MEMORY: it is a types of computer memory that store data and instructions
permanently meaning it cannot be easily modified or erased. ROM is crucial for starting up and running
a computer because it's contains the basic instructions
