Basic Block Diagram of Computer System
The Computer system consists of mainly three types that
are central processing unit (CPU),Input Devices, and Output Devices. The Central processing unit (CPU) again consists of ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and Control Unit. The set of instruction is presented to the computer in the form of raw data which is entered through input devices such as keyboard or mouse. Later this set of instructions is processed with the help of CPU [Central Processing Unit], and the computer system produces an output with the help of output devices like printers and monitors. Continued A large amount of data is stored in the computer memory with the help of primary and secondary storage devices temporarily and permanently. This is called as storage devices The CPU is the heart | Brain of a computer because without the necessary action taken by the CPU the user cannot get the desired output. The Central Processing Unit [CPU] is responsible for processing all the Instruction which is given to the computer system.

Input Devices Output Devices CPU (Central Processing Unit) Storage Unit ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) Control Unit Continued Continued Input Devices of Computer System
The set of instructions or information is provided to the
computer system or PC with the help of input devices such as (keyboard, mouse, scanners, etc). The Instruction or data presented to the computer system is converted into binary form then it is supplied to a computer system for further processing. The Input Unit perform transferring the data from outside the world into the system and later this data is processed and the system produces instruction through output unit such as Printer, monitors, etc. Keyboard and mouse are the prime examples of input devices. Input devices of computer The Input devices enter the data from outside the world into the primary storage devices. The input devices are a means of communication with the outside world and our computer system. Input Devices accepts or receives the data or instruction from outside the world such as input devices like keyboard and mouse It converts the data or instruction or information into machine readable form for further processing. Output devices of computer Output devices of computer produce or generate results with the help of devices or gadgets such as a printer, monitor, etc primarily these instruction or data provided to a computer system is in binary code so to produce or generate the desired output the system has to convert this data into human-readable form, to do so it has to first present the data or instruction to a computer system for further processing or handling. With the help and assistance of output devices, the system is linked or connected with outside world. For Example The data or instruction such as Graphics, images or text is inserted in the computer system with the help of input devices as the data received from the input devices is in binary code, therefore, the data has to be primarily converted into human-readable form after processing user get the required or desired data or set of information. For example The prime examples of Output devices are Printer, Monitor, Projectors etc The output devices receives all the data or instruction in binary code. The output devices converts the binary codes into human readable or intelligible form for better understanding and better functionality. They produces the changed or converted result to the user .which is effectively comprehensible by humans for proper and accurate understanding. They acts as a connection or link between outside world and computer system or our own PC framework. Printers, monitors and projector's are the prime examples of output devices. Central Processing Unit (CPU) of Computer System
The Central Processing Unit is also called the brain or heart of a
computer. The CPU is nothing but an electronic hardware device which carries or performs out all the operation such as arithmetic and logic operation. Below we have discussed briefly on arithmetic and logical operation.. The CPU in another term is also called as "PROCESSOR".Every instruction given through the input devices such as keyboard or mouse is carried further for processing and we user get our desired results through are output devices such as printers and monitors The CPU is also responsible for controlling all the operations of the other units of the computer system. When we talk or discuss CPU we tend to speak about its speed as speed these days matters most due to high number of large software which requires fast processor for execution. Control Unit
The Control Unit or CU Controls or coordinates all
activities performed in a computer system. It receives information or instruction or directions from the main memory of computer.It tells the logic unit, memory as well as the input and output devices how to handle the program or instruction in proper order. When the control unit receives any set of information or instruction it converts them to control signals then these signals are sent to the central processor for further processing and finally, it understands which operation to execute, exactly or precisely and in which order. Arithmetic and Logic Unit
There are some processors now that have more than
single AU [Arithmetic Unit]. ALU performs arithmetic and logical operation. When a set of instructions or programs is conveyed out. Control unit generally characterized which sort of operation to execute. The arithmetic operation comprises (Addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) and the logical unit carries out the operation such (AND, OR, Equal, less than, greater than), and later the control is changed to ALU and the result generated in .ALU later stored or puts away in transitory memory. Storage Unit of Computer
The information or set of guidelines can be stored in
the PC storage unit when information or direction is exhibited to the PC system utilizing Input devices. To begin the procedure on information, Instructions given by input devices the information must be put away in memory, and later when the preparing is done the outcome produced is likewise put away in the computer system for additionally handling Continued This type of work and action is done by the storage unit. In another word, we can also describe the storage unit as the unit which gives space to store data or instruction of processed data, processed result. It stores information or instruction It stores Results It stores consequence of prepared data
