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.
