Control Structure control the flow of a computer program. Examples:
If/Else structure or a loop structure.
a machine that processes information under the
Computer
control of a program.
sequence of instructions that control the computer. To
Program run, it must be loaded into the computer's memory
where the CPU executes it one instruction at a time.
the computer's electronic and mechanical
Hardware
components.
Software the programs that control computers
General purpose a computer that can run many different programs (e.g.
computer a smartphone).
Special purpose a computer that has a fixed program ( e.g. a
computer calculator, a watch, a car's brakes)
physical device used to store information for use in a
Memory computer or other digital electronic device( e.g. disk
drive, flash drive)
Random Access Memory- also called main memory
RAM stores the computer's programs and data temporarily
while power is on.
Central Processing Unit is the hardware that carries
out the instructions of a computer program. It is made
up of 3 main parts: the control unit (CU), the arithmetic
CPU and register. The CU processes the program's
instructions, the ALU (arithmetic logic unit) performs
the arithmetic and logic operations and the register
stores intermediate data during program execution.
bring data and programs into the computer (e.g.
Input devices
mouse, keyboard)
transmit data to other computers to users (e.g. printer,
Output devices
monitor, speaker)
