There are several types of computers including micro computers, which are the smallest and range from calculators to desktops, mini computers which are more powerful than micros, mainframe computers which offer faster processing and greater storage, and super computers which are designed for scientific tasks and contain multiple parallel CPUs making them the fastest but most expensive computers. Computers can also be classified by form factor including desktops, workstations, notebooks, tablet PCs, and handheld devices.
Classification of computersdoc
Classification of computersdocsumatipuri There are three main types of computers:
1) Analog computers, which process continuous data represented by variables like voltage.
2) Digital computers, which process data represented by discrete values like 1s and 0s.
3) Hybrid computers, which can process both analog and digital data. Digital computers are the most common today and are used for a wide variety of tasks from business to education.

computer
computerVicor Brabante A computer is an electronic machine that can accept data as input, process that data, store the output, and provide results. It performs arithmetic and logical operations and distinguishes itself from a calculator by being able to store and run programs. A computer has input, processing, output, and storage components. It also has hardware, software, and people components. There are different types of computers including analog, digital, microcomputers, minicomputers, mainframes, and supercomputers.
Computer fundamental introduction_and_types
Computer fundamental introduction_and_typesChittagong University This document provides an overview of computers including:
- A computer is an electronic device that processes data into useful information. It includes hardware, software, data, and users.
- Computers can be classified based on their processing capabilities as supercomputers, mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers, and wearables. They can also be classified as analog, digital, or hybrid based on their input/output signals.
- General purpose computers can solve many types of problems, while special purpose computers are designed to solve specific problems through dedicated programming. Servers are computers designed to share resources over a network.
IT and Computing
IT and ComputingMiXvideos This document discusses the components and functions of a basic computer system. It describes how a computer system consists of hardware and software. The key hardware components are the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM and ROM), and input/output interfaces. The CPU contains the arithmetic logic unit, control unit, and storage unit. It interprets and executes instructions to perform operations on data. The control unit manages data transfer between components. Memory stores instructions, data, and results. Software enables interaction with the hardware and allows computers to perform tasks. A computer system gathers data as input, processes it, outputs information, and stores data/information in memory.

Introduction to computers new 2010Cyrus Kyle Computers enable the efficient processing and storage of information. They are composed of hardware and software and exist in a variety of sizes, from embedded computers inside devices to supercomputers used for highly complex tasks. A basic computer system includes input devices like a keyboard, a central processing unit that performs calculations, and output devices like a monitor that present results.
Computer basics for beginners
Computer basics for beginnersAbdul45678 There are several ways to classify computers based on their principles of operation and configuration. In terms of principles of operation, computers can be analog, digital, or hybrid. Analog computers operate on continuous ranges of values while digital computers use binary and operate with discrete logic levels. Hybrid computers combine aspects of analog and digital. Configuration relates to size, speed, and storage; common types are supercomputers, mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers like desktops, laptops, and handheld devices. Supercomputers have the highest performance for applications like modeling while microcomputers are more affordable and common for individual use. [/SUMMARY]

Computer languagesJAIDEVPAUL The document discusses different types of computers and their components. It defines hardware as the physical parts of a computer like the CPU, keyboard, and hard drive. Software is defined as a set of instructions that allows computers to perform tasks and is divided into system software and application software. Computers are classified based on their capacity as mainframe, mini, super, or micro computers and based on the type of data they process as analog, digital, or hybrid computers. Each type is designed for specific uses.

Classifications of computer by bikrant royRoyB Computers can be classified in several ways:
By purpose into general purpose computers, which can run many different programs, and specific purpose computers, which are designed to perform a single task.
By data type into analog computers, which use continuous physical variables, digital computers which use numeric representations, and hybrid computers which use both.
By functionality into digital computers which perform logical/arithmetic operations on digits, analog computers which use continuous physical phenomena, and hybrid computers which combine both approaches.
By size into microcomputers like PCs, minicomputers which are more powerful than micros, mainframes which can support many users, and supercomputers designed for intensive calculations.

Itc notesali Israr A computer is a device that automatically processes data according to a set of instructions to provide information. It consists of both physical hardware and intangible software. Computers can be classified based on their representation of numbers (digital, analog, hybrid), degree of specialization (general purpose, special purpose), and type of application (scientific, business). There are several types of computers including mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers (personal computers), and supercomputers. Computers provide benefits such as increased accuracy, ability to process larger volumes of data faster, and freeing up the workforce to perform more skilled tasks by automating routine data processing work.

There are two types of computer languages: low-level and high-level. Low-level languages like machine code and assembly languages provide little abstraction from hardware and are used for first and second generation computers. High-level languages like C, Java, and Visual Basic provide more abstraction and are easier for humans to use. They were introduced for third generation computers.
