4. Retrieval of memory.
Function of hardware
Hardware perform physical task necessary to execute software
instruction and manage data.
Software
Software refers to a program and application that run on a
computer and perform various task. Unlike hardware, Software is
intangible and consist of code return to instruction the hardware on
code return to instruction the hardware on what to do. Example :
Operating system, application utilities.
Function of software
Software provide the instruction and interface that allow users to
interact with the hardware and perform specific task for process.
They are two types if (a) System software and (b) Application
software.
Input device
(1) Keyboard : A keyboard is an input device that allows users
to type text, number and symbols into a computer
or other electric device. It known as standard input device.
It consist of a series of keys, typically arranged to different
characters, functions and commonds.
(a) Number keys : These keys are used for typing number
and symbols.
Example are 0 to 9.
(b) Function keys : These keys are used for special
function like opening help menu’s or adjusting screen
brightness.
Example : F1 to F12 .
(c) Alphanumerical keys : These keys are used for typing
letters and numbers. Example are Q to M .
(d) Navigation keys : These keys are used for moving the
cursor or scrolling thought documents.
(e) Modifier keys : These keys are used in combination
with other keys to perform special actions. Example :
(Ctrl+C).
(f) Enter key : This key is used to submit to forms or
execute commands.
(g) Backspace key : This key is used to delete characters.
Diagram of keyboard
Touchpad: It is a device
pointing on a computer display screen. It is a alternative to a
mouse. Originally incorporated in laptop computes. Touchpad
are also tab use with desktop computer. A touchpad work by
sensing the user finger movement & downward pressure by
moving a finger or other object along the pad we can move a
pointer on display screen & we click by tapping the pad.
#Characteristic of monitor
(5) Dot Pitch : Dot Pitch also called line, Pitch, Script pitch,
Street pitch, phosphor pitch) is a measurement they define
the Sharpness of monitor. It measure the diagonal display
like - Colour dots (Pixels) that display the image on the
screen. This distance. is Very Small & typically measure in
factor of millimetre. The. Smaller dot pitch picture is sharp
The dot pitch the colour monitor of personal Computer
range from about 0.5 mm to 0.30mm.

#Characteristic of memory
2 Nibble - 4 bit
1 MB - 1024 KB
1 GB = 1024 mb.
1 TB = 1024 168
1FB = 1024 TB
#Main memory:
(f) Flash
(2) Dynamic RAM'S : Does in reach the bit losses in very short
period of the even throw power supply is on.

Main Memory
(1) Floppy disk : The magnetic disk are thin & flexible therefore
this are called floppy disk & diskettes. Floppy disk a made
of plastic sheet Called miflour. The surface is coated with
magnetic material. (Iron Oxide) on one & both side floppy
disk is a execute of sequential access memory as well as
random access memory because of room event of read
write had from track to track is random. While movement of
read write of the particular track for reading & Writing data
is serial so it is called semi random memory.
It is a write once read many type optical disk. The WORM Comes
blank from the factors. The user can write data only once & read the
Written data on the many time desire. To reduce the access time the
disk is rotate at a constant Speed. It's tracks are concentric Circles.
Each track is divided into number of sectors it is suitable for data &
file which are not to be change. The user Cannot store permanent
data. Information & files for maintaining records.
(4) DVD (Digital Versatile disk) A DVD Store much more data then
CD-ROMs. It's capacities are 4.7
GB, 8.5 GB, 20 GB etc. The Capacity depends on weather it is single
layer, double layer; Single Sided & double sided disk. DVD ROM
uses as same as CD-ROM for reading & Writing but a Smaller
Wavelength being is used. The total Capacity of DVDROM is 8.5 GB
& the double Sided DVD ROM Capacity is 17GB.
(5) BD (Blue-Ray-Disk) It is an optical disk Storage medium
design to super fact the DVD format. It's main Users are high & data
storage. When 50 GB per disk. The name blue ray disk derived form
blue laser used to read & write to this type of disk... Disk can store
50 GB or SOTB. almost 6 times of Capacity of a ducal layer of dud
102 single layer dvd.
