CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
According to function/logic use:
1. Analog computer
2. Digital computer
3. Hybrid Computer
1. ANALOG COMPUTERS are that in which data varies continuously i.e. the
movement of data is continuous.
REPRESENTED BY: series of waves
OR
An analog computer is a form of computer that uses the continuously changeable
aspects of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to
Model the Problem being solved.
Polish Analog computer:
USED FOR
Measuring temperature, pressure, etc
Communication
Broadcast transmission
EXAMPLE
Automobile Speedometer, Voltmeter, etc

2. DIGITAL COMPUTERS:
Digital Computers are those computers in which data flows in discrete form.
REPRESENTED BY: Pulses, two series i.e. 0s & 1s
OR
Digital computer, any of a class of devices capable of solving problems by processing
information in discrete form. It operates on data, including magnitudes, letters, and
symbols, that are expressed in binary form—i.e., using only the two digits 0 and 1.
OR
Computer that stores data in terms of digits (numbers) and proceeds in discrete steps from
one state to the next. The states of a digital computer typically involve binary digits
which may take the form of the presence or absence of magnetic markers in a storage
medium, on-off switches or relays. In digital computers, even letters, words and whole
