Computer • A computer is a machine that performs computations, logical operations, or moregenerally, data manipulation according to some prescribed sequence of instructionscalled a computer program. The physical components of a computer are termedhardware and the programs software.
Resume • A computer is a machine that performs computations, logical operations, and datamanipulation according to some prescribed sequence of instructions called computer program . • The physical components of a computer are called hardware . • The programs that run on a computer are called software . • The central processing unit ( CPU ) is that part of the computer that performs most calculations and makes decisions. • The arithmetic and logic unit ( ALU ) is the part of the CPU that performs arithmetical calculations. • The control unit ( CU ) coordinates the calculations of the ALU and the movement ofdata between the CPU and RAM. • The clock determines how frequently the computer hardware executes instructions. • A computer stores data in binary format , i.e., as a sequence of 0’s and 1’s. • A single 0 or 1 is called a bit ; a sequence of eight bits is called a byte .
How to Start Learning Computer Programming • Start with a good book or tutorial on programming • Get a compiler/interpreter/IDE for the programming language your book uses • Read the book! • Try putting together your own ideas to form a working program • Once you start actively programming in your first language, you may want to learn a second one • Continue programming and trying new things • Learn how to type - This is very essential as it is make your programming very fast and effective
