Computer
Computer is an electronic device i.e. used to work with information or compute.
It is derived from the Latin word "computare" which means to calculate.
A computer is a programmable electronic device that accepts raw data as input and
processes it with a set of instructions (a program) to produce the result as output.
A computer is designed to execute applications and provides a variety of solutions
through integrated hardware and software components.
It works with the help of programs and represents the decimal numbers through a string
of binary digits. It also has a memory that stores the data, programs, and result of
processing.
The components of a computer such as
machinery that includes wires, transistors,
circuits, hard disk are called hardware.
