Hardware is any physical part of the computer which include all the internal
components (motherboard, RAM, NIC) and also the external part such as the
monitor and the keyboard.
Software is any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do. Such as
web browser, media player or word processor.

Computer Structure
![Page 28: Chapter 1 computers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5881ab221a28ab1a398b7609/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Processor A part of computer system that is commonly referred as a
‘brains’ of a computer.
Also known as CPU
(Central Processing Unit)
or microprocessor.
Responsible for executing a sequence of stored instruction
called a program.
INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT
![Page 29: Chapter 1 computers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5881ab221a28ab1a398b7609/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Parts of Processor Control Unit
Make decisions and send the appropriate signal down its line to other parts of the
computer. Controls the timing of operations and controls the instructions sent to the processor.
Arithmetic / Logic Unit (ALU) The ALU carries out arithmetic and logic function. It carries out all the calculation and makes decisions on the data sent to the
processor.
Registers Provide temporary memory storage locations within the processor.
![Page 30: Chapter 1 computers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5881ab221a28ab1a398b7609/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Input, Process, Output (IPO) Input: Involves entering the data and instructions that the computer
needs to carry out a particular task.
Process: is what the computer should to do with the data or
instructions that have been input.
Output: is the set of results which is obtained when the instructions
have been run.

Main Memory
A running program is stored along with its data in the main
memory of the computer.
Main memory is divided up into storage locations each
with its own unique address.
A single storage location can hold one or more bytes of
information.
![Page 33: Chapter 1 computers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5881ab221a28ab1a398b7609/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Main memory size This is the amount of memory allocated to a computer system. Most
modern computers come with a minimum of 3 or 4 Gigabytes of RAM.
There are two different types of memory: RAM and ROM.
RAM or Random Access Memory is volatile. This means that when
the computer is switched off all the contents of the RAM are lost.
ROM or Read Only Memory retains all of its information even when
the computer is switched off.
![Page 34: Chapter 1 computers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062904/5881ab221a28ab1a398b7609/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Backing Storage• Backing storage is used for permanent storage of
programs and data.
• Hard disks and USB flash drives are common forms of
backing storage.
• Magnetic tapes are used in large commercial
organizations to store long term data. Backup copies are
often held on tape.
