Functioning Of Computer ?

Now, after knowing How computer really works. Lets start learning about the Functional Component Of a Computer system.

A Computer mainly has a "four" function.

1. Accepts Data - INPUT
2. Process Data - PROCESSING
3. Produce Result - OUTPUT
4. Stores Results/Data - Storage

---

These are the functional component required to make a Computer functionable and these all units combines to make a functionable system.
Its a cycle which is followed by computer every time when You (user) gives some Inputs to a computer, named as I.P.O Cycle(Input-Process-Output Cycle).

Each time when you gives a Input data to a computer it repeats the cycle.
The first stage of this cycle is to take Input by the users which is completed with the helps of Input Unit.
The second stage is to Process the given data which was done by the Central Processing Unit shortly named as CPU.
Third stage is to show the Output or Result of the given Input to user, and this is completed with the helps of Output Unit.
And this whole process is completed with the helps of "memory".

Memory is the brain of computer which holds the data during its processing. Or in shorts, "Memory" is the storage brain of a Computer.

"Input unit of a computer system is responsible for the Input phase. Similarly Central Processing Unit and Ouput Unit is also responsible for Process and Output phase respectively."
