Types of computer

  •  What are the basic types of computer?

There are four basic types of computer which are as follows:
  • Micro Computer
  • Midrange Computer
  • Mainframe Computer
  • Super Computer

What are Micro Computer?

Micro Computer are also called personal computer.A personal computer is a computer that can perform all it's activities by itself.These activities includes Input, output, processing and storage activities. These computer were introduced in 1981.Most commonly used in small offices or at home. A personal computer contain only one processor two or more Input, output and storage devices.

What are super computer?

A supercomputer is a computer with a higher level of performance than a general purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is usually measured in floating point operations per second, rather than millions of instructions per second. As of 2017, there are supercomputers that can perform more than 10¹⁷ FLOPS.

What is mini computer?

A mini computer, a computer that was smaller, less expensive, and less powerful than a mainframe or supercomputer but more expensive and more powerful than a personal computer. Money computers were used for scientific and engineering computations, business transaction processing, file handling, and database management.

What is mainframe computer?


A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or large iron, is a computer that is primarily used by large organizations for important applications such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resources. Bulk data processing for tasks such as planning, and large-scale transaction processing.

Language translators

 What is language translator? Any program written in high level language is known as source code. However, computers cannot understand the source code. Before running it, the source code must first be translated into a form that the computer understands. Translator is a program that converts source code into machine code. There are generally three types of translators:  compilers Interpretor Assembler What is compilers? The compiler takes the source code as a whole and translates it into machine code at once. Once converted, the object code can be run at any time without assistance. This process is called compilation. Compilers have several advantages: Compiled programs run faster, because they have been translated. A compiled program can be provided as an executable file. An executable file is a file that is ready to be executed. Because an executable file cannot be easily edited, programmers prefer to provide an executable rather than a source code.Developers improve the cod...

What is RAM and ROM?

   What is RAM? RAM stands for Random Access Memory. Practically all computers now Or they rely on memory to perform all their functions. It becomes without RAM. It is impossible to go far after the PC is turned on. Software Applications installed on a computer are largely dependent on RAM. it is Responsible for keeping data while any application is running. Once The application is closed without saving, data is lost.RAM is short for "Random Access Memory" and although it may seem mysterious, RAM is one of the most basic elements of computing. RAM is the fastest and temporary data storage space that a computer needs to access right now or in the next few moments. The difference between Ram and Sam RAM is considered "random access" because it can access any memory cell. This is done directly if the intersection of rows and columns is well known. On the contrary RAM is Serial Access Memory (SAM). SAM stores data as a series of memory cells. Which can only be accessed ...

what is printer and its types?

 What is printer? "A printer is an external output device that takes data from a computer and generates output in the form of graphics / text on a paper".   There are two types of printers.  Impact printer Non-impect printer  What is Impect printer? An impact printer makes contact with the paper. It usually forms the print image by pressing an inked ribbon against the paper using a hammer or pins. Following are some examples of impect printer.  Dot-Matrix Printers: The dot-matrix printer uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce The dot-matrix printer uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce produces more dots that a 9 pin dot-matrix printer, which results in much better quality and clearer characters. The general rule is: the more pins, the clearer the letters on the paper. The pins strike the ribbon individually as the print mechanism moves across the entire print line in both directions, i-e, from lef...
