Computer and its Features
Computer and its features What is Computer? A computer is a digital electronic machine that can be programmed to carry outsequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs . These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. Features of Computer 1. Speed A computer works with much higher speed and accuracy compared to humans while performing mathematical calculations. Computers can process millions (1,000,000) of instructions per second. The time taken by computers for their operations is microseconds and nanoseconds. 2. Accuracy Computers perform calculations with 100% accuracy. Errors may occur due to data inconsistency or inaccuracy. 3. Diligence A computer can perform millions of tasks or calculations with the same consistency and accuracy. It doesn’t feel any fatigue or lack of concentration. Its memory also makes it superior to that of human beings. 4. Versatility Versatilit
