gets incredibly hot in the process. That’s why your computer has a little Fan
blowing away: to stop its brain from overheating!

Exercise 3. Describing function.

alphabet and also produces graphics in full colour.
We can emphasize function by using this pattern.

also produce graphics in full colour.

that is on the CPU so that users can see the data created. In addition, this
monitor functions as an output device from computer memory

CPU : A CPU is performing arithmetic and logical operations against

data retrieved from memory or from information entered through some
hardware

Graphic card : A graphics card, also known as a GPU or VGA card, is

hardware on a computer that has the function of processing and translating
computer graphics data to a monitor screen.
