The computer A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem. Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU) and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit that can change the order of operations based on stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved.

The computerThe Computer is divided into two
parts
Hardware Software
The computer Hardware Computer hardware is the collection of physical
elements that constitute a computer system
The computer SoftwareComputer Software is the operating system or the computer
