Components of a Computer System

 Hardware: Physical components such as the central processing


unit (CPU), memory (RAM), input/output devices (keyboard,
mouse, monitor), and storage devices (hard disk drive, solid-
state drive).

 Software: Programs and instructions that tell the hardware how


to perform tasks and interact with users. Example :
Windows,miscrosoft word.

Input Devices
Definition: Input devices are hardware
components that allow users to enter data and
instructions into the computer system.

Examples: Keyboard, mouse, touchpad,


microphone, scanner, and webcam.

Process

 Definition: Process refers to the manipulation and transformation


of data by the computer system using algorithms and
instructions.

 CPU: The central processing unit executes instructions and


performs calculations.

 Algorithms: Step-by-step procedures used to solve problems


and perform tasks.

Output Devices

 Definition: Output devices display or present


processed data and information to users in a
human-readable form.

 Examples: Monitor, printer, speakers,


projector, and headphones.
