    Introduction
    You would have observed that instructions have to be fed into the computer in a systematic order to
    perform a specific task. Computer components are divided into two major categories, namely,
    hardware and software. In this lesson, we will discuss about hardware, that is the machine itself and
    its connected devices such as monitor, keyboard, mouse etc. , as well as software that makes use of
    hardware for performing various functions.

    What is a Computer?
    A computer is a machine that accepts data as input, processes that data using programs, and
    outputs the processed data. An electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary
    form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.

    Functions of Computer

    Computer Organisation
    Input: this is the process of entering data and programs into the computer system.

    Control Unit (CU) : The process of input, output, processing and storage is performed under the
    supervision of a unit called ‘Control Unit’ . It decides when to start receiving data, when to stop it,
    where to store data, etc. It takes care of step -by-step processing of all operations inside the
    computer.

    Memory Unit: Computer is used to store data and instructions.

    Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) : The major operations performed by the ALU are addition,
    subtraction, multiplication, division, logic and comparison.
