Introduction to Data Processing System Presented By
Data processing system A data processing system is a combination of machines and people that for a set of inputs produces a defined set of outputs. The inputs and outputs are interpreted as data, facts, information, ... depending on the interpreter's relation to the system. www.kellytechno.com
Types of Data Mainly Data is divided into two types:1. Numeric Data2. Character Data 1. Numeric Data The data which is represented in the form of numbers is known as Numeric Data. This includes 0-9 digits, a decimal point (.), +, /, – sign and the letters “E” or “D”. 2. Character Data Character data falls into two groups.i. String Dataii. Graphical Data String DataString data consists of the sequence of characters. Characters may be English alphabets, numbers or space. The space, which separates two words, is also a character. The string data is further divided into two types.a. Alphabetic Datab. Alphanumeric Data Graphical DataIt is possible that pictures, charts and maps can be treated as data. The scanner is normally used to enter this type of data. The common use of this data is found in the National Identity Card. www.kellytechno.com
Information A collection of data which conveys some meaningful idea is information. It may provide answers to questions like who, which, when, why, what, and how.or The raw input is data and it has no significance when it exists in that form. When data is collated or organized into something meaningful, it gains significance. This meaningful organization is informationor Observations and recordings are done to obtain data, while analysis is done to obtain information www.kellytechno.com
Data Processing Data processing: Any operation or set of operations performed upon data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation or alteration to convert it into useful information. www.kellytechno.com
Data Processing Cycle Once data is collected, it is processed to convert it into useful information. The data is processed again and again until the accurate result is achieved. This is called data processing cycle. The data processing is very important activity and involves very careful planning. Usually, data processing activity involves three basic activities. • Input • Processing • Output www.kellytechno.com
Data Processing CycleStep-1 1. Input It is the process through which collected data is transformed into a form that computer can understand. It is very important step because correct output result totally depends on the input data. In input step, following activities can be performed. i) Verification The collected data is verified to determine whether it is correct as required. For example, the collected data of all B.Sc. students that appeared in final examination of the university is verified. If errors occur in collected data, data is corrected or it is collected again. ii) Coding The verified data is coded or converted into machine readable form so that it can be processed through computer. iii) Storing The data is stored on the secondary storage into a file. The stored data on the storage media will be given to the program as input for processing. www.kellytechno.com
Data Processing CycleStep-2 2.Processing The term processing denotes the actual data manipulation techniques such as classifying, sorting, calculating, summarizing, comparing, etc. thatconvert data into information. i) Classification The data is classified into different groups and subgroups, so that each group or sub-group of data can be handled separately. ii) Storing The data is arranged into an order so that it can be accessed very quickly as and when required. iii) Calculations The arithmetic operations are performed on the numeric data to get the required results. For example, total marks of each student are calculated. iv) Summarizing The data is processed to represent it in a summarized form. ft means that the summary of data is prepared for top management. For example, the summary of the data of student is prepared to show the percentage of pass and fail student examination etc. www.kellytechno.com
Data Processing CycleStep-3 3. Output After completing the processing step, output is generated. The main purpose of data processing is to get the required result. Mostly, the output is stored on the storage media for later user. In output step, following activities can be performed. i) Retrieval Output stored on the storage media can be retrieved at any time. For example, result of students is prepared and stored on the disk. This result can be retrieved when required for different purposes. ii) Conversion The generated output can be converted into different forms. For example, it can be represented into graphical form. iii) Communication The generated output is sent to different places. For example, weather forecast is prepared and. sent to different agencies and newspapers etc. where it is required. www.kellytechno.com
Types of data processing systems • Scientific data processing • Scientific data processing "usually involves a great deal of computation (arithmetic and comparison operations) upon a relatively small amount of input data, resulting in a small volume of output." • Commercial data processing • Commercial data processing "involves a large volume of input data, relatively few computational operations, and a large volume of output." Accounting programs are the prototypical examples of data processing applications. • Data analysis • "Data analysis is a body of methods that help to describe facts, detect patterns, develop explanations, and test hypotheses." For example, data analysis might be used to look at sales and customer data to "identify connections between products to allow for cross selling campaigns." www.kellytechno.com
Computer Processing Operations A computer can perform only the following four operations which enable computers to carry out the various data processing activities we have just discussed.(a) Input/Output operations A computer can accept data (input) from and supply processed data (output) to a wide range of input/output devices. These devices such as keyboards, display screens, and printers make human-machine communication possible. www.kellytechno.com
Computer Processing Operations (b) Calculation and text manipulation Operations Computer circuits perform calculations on numbers. They are also capable of manipulating numerics and other symbols used in text with equal efficiency. www.kellytechno.com
Computer Processing Operations (c) Logic/Comparison Operations A computer also possesses the ability to perform logical operations. For example, if we compare two items represented by the symbols A and B, there are only three possible outcomes.A is less than B (A<B); A is equal to B (A=B): or A is greater than B(A>B). A computer can perform such comparisons and the, depending on the result, follow a predetermined path to complete its work. This ability to compare is an important property of computers. www.kellytechno.com
Computer Processing Operations (d) Storage and Retrieval Operations Both data and program instructions are stored internally in a computer. Once they are stored in the internal memory, they can be called up quicklyor retrieved, for further use. www.kellytechno.com
Simple example A very simple example of a data processing system is the process of maintaining a check register. Transactions— checks and deposits— are recorded as they occur and the transactions are summarized to determine a current balance. Monthly the data recorded in the register is reconciled with a hopefully identical list of transactions processed by the bank. A more sophisticated record keeping system might further identify the transactions— for example deposits by source or checks by type, such as charitable contributions. This information might be used to obtain information like the total of all contributions for the year. The important thing about this example is that it is a system, in which, all transactions are recorded consistently, and the same method of bank reconciliation is used each time. www.kellytechno.com
