The Macintosh computer was introduced in 1984, and it was the first widely sold personal computer with a graphical user interface, or GUI (pronounced gooey). All Macs are made by one company (Apple), and they always use the MacOS operating system. They are usually a lot more expensive than a PC type of computer.
Version 3.0 Exploring Computer Science Page 5 Course Overview Goals Exploring Computer Science is designed to introduce students to the breadth of the field of computer science. The goal of Exploring Computer Science is to develop in students the computational thinking practices of algorithm development, problem solving and programming within the context of problems that are relevant to
Really neat trick: just make only the most significant bit represent a negative number instead of positive; treat the rest as binary. Easy addition: just add in binary and discard any carry. Negation: complement each bit (as in one's complement) then add 1. Subtraction done with negation and addition.

A keyboard is one of the ways to communicate with a computer. Typing a key from the keyboard sends a small portion of data to tell the computer which key was pressed. The computer can use this information in many ways. An example could be a command or a character that can be used in a document. There are two main different types of keyboards.
o But Computer goes exactly the way which we have given the instructions. 3.EXPLAIN THE DATA PROCESSING CYCLE OF COMPUTER. The computer Data Processing is any process that a computer program does to enter data & summarise, analyse or convert data into useable information. The process may be automated & run on a computer.
the computer system. Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use. Computer System All of the components of a computer system can be summarized with the simple equations. COMPUTER SYSTEM = HARDWARE + SOFTWARE+ USER

Computer so ware is the opposite: you cannot touch it. So ware is a set of instructions for a computer to make it perform certain specific operations. You need hardware and so ware for a computer system to work. Desktop and laptop computers A desktop computer usually has a computer case and a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse. It is called a
A computer system uses binary numbers to store and process data. The binary digits 0 and 1, which are the basic units of memory, are called bits. Further, these bits are grouped together to form words. A 4-bit word is called a Nibble. Examples of nibble are 1001, 1010, 0010, etc. A two nibble word, i.e., 8-bit word is called a

A computer using analog method of calculation will be termed an analog computer. Hybrid Computer: Computer can also be built using some parts employing digital computations, and some parts based on Analog principles. Such computers are called Hybrid computer. Example: In Process Control Computer Systems, the input comes from devices
Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. MS Word is a popular word-processing program used primarily for creating documents such as letters, brochures, learning activities, tests, quizzes and students' homework assignments.
