  2. What is block diagram of computer A computer's block diagram is a visual representation of its major components and how they are interconnected. It provides a high-level overview of the computer's architecture and helps to understand how data flows and is processed within the system.

  3. Input Devices: These devices allow users to interact with the computer and provide input data and instructions. Common input devices include: Keyboard: Used for typing text and entering commands. Mouse: Used for pointing and clicking on graphical user interfaces. Touchscreen: A display with touch-sensitive capabilities. Scanner: Used to convert physical documents or images into digital format.

  4. Central Processing Unit (CPU): The CPU is the core processing unit of the computer responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations. It consists of several key components: Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Performs arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and logical (AND, OR, NOT) operations on data. Control Unit: Coordinates and manages the execution of instructions, fetching them from memory and decoding them to control other components. Registers: Small, fast storage locations within the CPU used to temporarily hold data and intermediate results during processing.

  5. Cache: The cache is a small, high-speed memory located close to the CPU. It stores frequently accessed data and instructions to reduce the time it takes for the CPU to access data from the main memory (RAM).

  6. Memory: The computer's memory holds both data and instructions necessary for the CPU to process. It consists of different types of memory: Main Memory (RAM - Random Access Memory): Volatile memory that holds data and instructions currently in use by the CPU. When the computer is powered off, the data in RAM is lost. Secondary Storage: Non-volatile memory used for long-term storage of data even when the computer is powered off. Examples include hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD).

  7. Output Devices: These devices display or present information processed by the computer to the user. Common output devices include: Monitor/Display: Shows visual output, such as text, images, and videos. Printer: Produces hard copies of documents and images. Speakers: Output audio and sound.
