COMPUTER
A computer is an electronic device that accepts data input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory,
and produces output. Computers can perform a wide range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex simulations, data
analysis, and communication.
DEFINATION OF COMPUTER
A computer is an electronic device which takes input from the user, processes it and gives the output as per user's
requirement.
So the main tasks of performed by the computer are:
Input
Process
Output
The basic components of a computer include:
1. Central Processing Unit (CPU): The brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions and performing
calculations.
2. Memory (RAM): Temporary storage for data and program instructions.
3. Storage Drive: A permanent storage device for data, programs, and the operating system.
4. Input Devices: Keyboard, mouse, scanner, etc., used to enter data and instructions.
5. Output Devices: Monitor, printer, speakers, etc., used to display or produce output.
6. Operating System: Software that manages computer hardware resources and provides a plat form for running
applications.
CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER
Automatic:
Computers are automatic machines because it works by itself without human intervention.
They can works from the instructions which are stored inside the system in the form of programs which specify
how a particular job is to be done
Page | 2
Accuracy:
The accuracy of a computer is very high.
Errors can occur by the computer. But these are due to human weakness, due to incorrect data, but not due to
the technological weakness.
Speed:
Computer is a very fact device. It can perform the amount of work in few seconds for which a human can take
an entire year.
While talking about computer speed we do not talk in terms of seconds and milliseconds but in microseconds.
A powerful computer is capable of performing several billion (109) simple arithmetic operations per second
Diligence
Unlike human beings, a computer is free from monotony, tiredness & lack of concentration.
it can continuously work for hours without creating any error & without grumbling.
If you give ten million calculations to performed, it will perform with exactly the same accuracy & speed as the
first one.
Versatility:
It is one of the most wonderful features about the computer.
One moment it is preparing the results of a particular examination, the next moment it is busy with preparing
electricity bills and in between it may be helping an of be secretary to trace an important letter in seconds.
Power of remembering:
Computer can store and recall any amount of data because of its high storage capacity of its storage devices.
Every piece of information can be retained as long as desired by the user and can be recalled as and when
required.
Even after several years, if the information recalled, it will be as accurate as on the day when it was filled to the
computers.

No IQ
A computer is not a magical device it processes no intelligence of its.
No Fallings
A Computer has no feelings because they are machines.
Based on our feelings, task, knowledge and experience we often make certain judgments in our day today life.
But Computer goes exactly the way which we have given the instructions.

What is Microsoft Excel?
Page | 38
MS Excel is a spreadsheet program where one can record data in the form of tables. It is easy to analyse data in an
Excel spreadsheet. The image given below represents how an Excel spreadsheet looks like:
Excel is a part of the Microsoft Office suite software. It is an electronic spreadsheet program that features a grid of
rows and columns, making it easy to input and organize data. With 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns in Excel 2007
and newer versions, it can handle vast datasets without hassle. Each intersection of a row and column forms a cell,
identified by a cell reference like A1 or D2. These references help users store data, perform calculations, and link
information effortlessly.
Excel is much more than a tool for basic data entry. It enables users to create charts, analyse trends, and streamline
repetitive tasks, making it indispensable for tasks like budgeting, inventory management, and report generation. Whether
you're managing personal finances, working on a project, or analysing business performance, Excel provides the tools you
need to achieve your goals effectively.
User-Interface of Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet application used for data organization, analysis, and calculation. Below is a brief
overview of its User Interface (UI) components:
1. Name Box: Displays the address of the active cell. You can also use it to quickly navigate to a specific cell.
2. Formula Bar: Used to view or edit the content of the active cell, such as formulas or text entries.
3. Cell: The basic unit of the worksheet where data is entered. Each cell is identified by a unique address (e.g., A1, B2).
4. Sheet Tabs: Allow navigation between different worksheets within a workbook. Tabs can be renamed, added, or
deleted.
5. Scroll Bar: Enables horizontal and vertical scrolling to navigate through large worksheets easily.
These components together provide an intuitive and efficient way to work with data in Excel.

Excel Formulas
In Microsoft Excel, a formula is an expression that operates on values in a range of cells. These formulas return a result,
even when it is an error.
Excel formulas enable you to perform calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In addition to
these, you can find out averages and calculate percentages in excel for a range of cells, manipulate date and time values,
and do a lot more.
Overview of Formula Insertion
• Choose a cell.
• To enter an equal sign, select the cell and type "=".
• Enter the address of a cell in the selected cell.
• Write the symbol for the operation to be performed.
• Enter the address of the next cell in the selected cell.
• Press Enter to perform the operation according to written formula.
Page | 40
For example,
=A2*B2 is a formula which will perform the operation of multiplying the values of cell A2 and B2 and show the result in
the cell in which it is written.
=PRODUCT(A2,B2) will also perform the same task, however it is a built-in function of Excel.
Common Functions of Excel
1. SUM Function
Description: The SUM function is used to calculate the total or sum of a range of numbers or individual values.
It is one of the most widely used functions in Excel for adding values in a worksheet.
Syntax: =SUM(number1, [number2], ...)
o number1, [number2], ... are the numbers or cell ranges to be added.
Example: =SUM(A1:A5) calculates the total of the numbers in cells A1 through A5. If A1 = 10, A2 = 20, A3 =
30, A4 = 40, and A5 = 50, the result will be 150.
2. AVERAGE Function
Description: The AVERAGE function is used to compute the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers. It sums the
selected numbers and divides the total by the count of numbers.
Syntax: =AVERAGE(number1, [number2], ...)
o number1, [number2], ... are the numbers or ranges to be averaged.
Example: =AVERAGE(B1:B5) calculates the average of the values in cells B1 through B5. For instance, if B1
= 10, B2 = 20, B3 = 30, B4 = 40, and B5 = 50, the result will be 30.
3. IF Function
Description: The IF function performs a logical test and returns one value if the condition is true and another if
the condition is false. It is widely used for decision-making in formulas.

Microsoft PowerPoint
What is Microsoft PowerPoint?
Microsoft PowerPoint is great presentation software designed by Microsoft sometimes abbreviated as PP or PPT.
PowerPoint is well utilized to create a slideshow of valuable information through charts, and images for a presentation. It is
commonly practiced in business and school presentations.
1. It is an absolute presentation graphics package that gives you everything needed to create a professional-
looking presentation. PowerPoint offers word processing, drawing, outlining, graphing, and presentation
management tools.
2. PowerPoint was developed by Dennis Austin and Tom Rudkin at a software company named Forethought Inc. It
was thought to be identified as Presenter, but due to trademark issues was renamed PowerPoint in 1987.
3. The first iteration of PowerPoint was released collectively with Windows 3.0 in 1990.
4. The initial version of PowerPoint only allowed slide progression in one direction, i.e., forward and the amount of
customization was somewhat limited.
5. Progressively, with every version, the program was more creative and more interactive. Numerous other
characteristics were also added in PowerPoint in the later versions which massively increased the demand and
use of this MS Office program.
6. The default file extension of a PowerPoint presentation is ".ppt".
7. It is a presentation-based program comprising slides that use graphics, videos, and other features to make a
presentation more interactive and interesting.
