CONCEPT OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

HARDWARE:-

1. Hardware means internal and external physical parts of computer.

2. Examples of hardware in a computer are the keyboard, the monitor, the mouse, and the central processing unit (CPU).

3. A computers hardware is comprised of many different parts, but perhaps the most important of these is the motherboard.

4. The motherboard is made up of even more parts that power and control the computer.

5. Computer hardware includes :
 >System unit
 >Peripheral devices
 >Input devices i.e, keyboard, mouse, etc.
 >Output devices i.e, Display unit, printer, etc.
 >Storage devices like hard disk, floppy disks, etc.

Computer component:-
 Keyboard, Mouse, Light pen, Touch screen, Graphics table, Joystick, Microphone, OCR, Scanner, Smart card reader, Bar code reader, Biometric sensor, Web camera, VDU, etc.

SOFTWARE :-

1. A set of instructions called as program and a set of program we called as software.

2. Compatibility of software will varry as the design of the software and the operating systems differ.

3. Software is generally written in a high-level programming language such as c, c++, java, etc, one that is more or less readable by people.

4. Some software is also written in low-level programming language such as Assembly languages or machine codes.


software divided into three major classes :-

1. System software
2.Application software 
3.Utility software

1.System software:-
   i. software required to run the hardware parts of the computer and other application software are called system software.
  It helps run the computer hardware and computer system itself 

System software are three types:-
                 
 1. Operating system
2. Language processor
>Assembler
>Interpreter
>compiler
3. Device Drivers

2. Application software :-
     Application software are very specialized in their function and approach to solving a problem.
  Application software:-
 > Word processing
 > Spreadsheet
 > Presentation
 > Database management
 > Multimedia tools

3.Utility software :-
    Application software the assist system in doing their work is called utility software.
  Utility software includes :-
 >Antivirus software
>Disk management tool
>File management tools
>compression tools
>Backup tool

DBMS (Database Management System):- Database management system is a software which is used to manage the database. For example: MySQL, Oracle, etc are a very popular commercial database which is used in different applications.DBMS provides an interface to perform various operations like database creation, storing data in it, updating data, creating a table in the database and a lot more.It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users, it also maintains data consistency. DBMS allows users the following tasks:- Data Definition: I

INTRODUCTION Digital computer concept:- 1. Digital computers are designed to store, process and communicate information in digital form. 2. Digital computer is any of a class of digital devices capable of solving problems by processing information in discrete form. 3. It is used for processing data represented by discrete, localized physica signals, as the presence or electic current. 4.The main three components of digital computer:- >input:- The user gives a set of input data through input devices. >Processing :- The input data is processed with the help of CPU by well defined and finite sequence of step. >Output : - Some data available from the processing step are output to the user. TYPE OF DIGITAL COMPUTER :- 1.Microcomputer/Desktop computer 2.Minicomputer 3.Mainframe computer 4.Supercomputers Microcomputer :- 1.Microcomputer is also called a personal computer or desktop computer. 2.It includes a microprocessor, memory, and

There are 195 countries in the  world, some are developed countries, some are undeveloped , and some are underdeveloped or developing countries . The distinction between them is a different process but we can differentiate based on conditions like economic growth , GDP, employment rate , population, etc. Let's understand how we can say whether the country is developed. ADVANCE OR DEVELOPED ECONOMIES An advanced or developed economy is one, which carries on production with a large amount of machinery and advanced techniques. An advanced economy employs its human and other resources to the maximum extent possible.  The productive efficiency of a developed economy is of a very high order, and the per capita income is also high. Consequently, people in these countries enjoy high standards of living.  England, the U.S.A, France, west Germany, etc, are advanced economies. These economies are inhabited by over one-fourth of the entire population of the world. ADVANCED ECONOMY Advanced Ec
