Similarly, a computer works on Input ® Process ® Output                               cycle.



                            Input                           Process                           Output




                      The data and                  The computer then                  After processing

                     instructions that             convert the raw data                      the data,
                       is given to a                  into meaningful                   computer gives

                     computer to do                 information. This is                   the desired

                    any specific task                called processing        .            result which

                     is called input      .                                                  is known

                                                                                            as output     .






               Wrong  input  leads  to  wrong  output.  It  is  called  GIGO  —  Garbage  In,

               Garbage Out.




                 Practical Window


              Suppose, you get different marks in different subjects and want to calculate

              and find out the total marks that you have scored, on a computer. How would
              you do it? Explain with the process of Input ® Process ® Output cycle.




             Characteristics of a Computer

             Storage               :      A computer can store large amount of data which

                                          can be reused anytime.

             Versatility           :      A  computer  is  a  multi-purpose  machine  that

                                          performs  many  tasks  and  is  used  in  almost  all
                                          fields.

             Diligence             :      A computer can work for long hours without getting

                                          tired.
