between letters, words, numbers etc, whereas Backspace Key: It is just like an
eraser. It is used to erase anything typed in the left side of the cursor.
iv. Copy and cut command
 Cut command removes the selected data from its original position, while the copy
command creates a duplicate; in both cases the selected data is kept in temporary
storage (the clipboard). The data from the clipboard is later inserted wherever a
paste command is issued.
v. MS word and MS publisher

MS word: It is designed for writing documents, add page numbering, table of

contents, indexes, references, footnotes and annotations

MS publisher: It is designed for creating brochures, newsletters and greeting cards

that have graphically rich content and requires precise positioning of text and
graphics

vi. Input and output device

Input devices: An input device is a peripheral used to transfer data from the outside
world into a computer system. In other words, it is any machine that feeds data into
a computer. Example keyboard and mouse, scanners, microphones, USB drives, and
webcams or Cameras, Microphone, Barcode reader, Joystick.
Output devices : Is any peripheral that is connected to a computer and used to
transfer data out of the computer in the form of text, images, sounds or other media
to a display screen (monitor), printer, speaker etc. Other examples of output devices
are; Plotters, Projector.
vii. Digital and Analog Computer
A digital computer uses distinct values to represent the data internally. All
information are represented using the digits Os and 1s. The computers that we use at

our homes and offices are digital computers.

Analog computer is another kind of a computer that represents data as variable

across a continuous range of values. The earliest computers were analog

computers. Analog computers are used for measuring of parameters that vary

continuously in real time, such as temperature, pressure and voltage. Analog

computers may be more flexible but generally less precise than digital computers.

Slide rule is an example of an analog computer.

viii. Computer Hardware and software

Or instructions that makes the computer or hardware work. It is what guides the
hardware and tells it how to accomplish each task. Software is held either on your
computer’s hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD etc. and is loaded (i.e. copied) from the disk
into the computers RAM (Random Access Memory), as and when required. Software
can be a system software or application software.
ix. Primary and secondary storage
A primary storage device is a medium that holds memory for short periods of time
while a computer is running. Although it has a much lower access time and faster
performance, it is also about two orders of magnitude more costly than secondary
storage.

A secondary storage device refers to any non-volatile storage device that is internal
or external to the computer. It can be any storage device beyond the primary storage
that enables permanent data storage.

35. Based on the diagram below, explain four (4) major functions of a computer

Input function : Computer does nothing until a user (or a script or a program) provides
the data that needs to be processed and the instructions that tell it how to process the data.
Any standard device or component that a user uses to instruct a computer is known as the
standard input device. In other words, a computer uses its input devices or components to
get instructions from a user.
Process function : Once the data and instructions are received, the computer starts the
processing function. In this function, a computer processes the received data according to
the instructions. To process the input data according to the instructions, the computer uses
the CPU where by ALU used to executes all arithmetic and logical operations. Arithmetic
calculations like as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Logical operation
like compare numbers, letters, or special characters. Control Unit (CU): Controls and co-
ordinates computer components. Registers : Stores the data that is to be executed next,
"very fast storage area"
 Storage function This function allows us to save the processed data for later use. To store
data and information, a computer uses two types of storage components: temporary and
permanent. Temporary storage components are used to store data temporarily. Data stored
in a temporary storage component is erased when the system is shutdown.
Output function: After processing the input data, the CPU, auxiliary processor, or the
process function sends the processed data to the output function or to the default or
configured output device. By default, computers use monitors as the default output device.

36. Briefly explain four (4) classification of Computer

i) Microcomputers: They are often called personal computers (PCs) because they are
designed to be used by one person at a time. Personal computers are typically used at
home, at school, or at a business. Popular uses for microcomputers include word
processing, surfing the web, sending and receiving e-mail, spreadsheet calculations,
database management, editing photographs, creating graphics, and playing music or
games. Personal computers come in two major varieties, desktop computers and
laptop computers:
ii) Minicomputers. A minicomputer is a multi-user computer that is less powerful than
a mainframe, It is capable of supporting from ten (10) to hundreds (100) of users
simultaneously. This class of computers became available in the 1960’s. It is more
expensive and more powerful than microcomputers. It is used for scientific and
engineering computations, business-transaction processing, file handling, and
database management. Minicomputer referred to as small or midsize servers.
iii) Mainframe Computers: A mainframe computer is a large and powerful computer.
It is capable of supporting from 100 to thousands (1000) of users simultaneously.
Mainframe computer became available in 1964. Users connect to the mainframe using
terminals and submit their tasks for processing by the mainframe.
iv) Supercomputers: A supercomputer is a mainframe computer that has been optimized
for speed and processing power. Extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds
of millions of instructions per second. Supercomputers are used for extremely
calculation-intensive tasks such simulating nuclear bomb detonations, airplane and
spacecraft aerodynamics, global /worldwide weather patterns, oil and gas exploration,
aerodynamic flows etc. A supercomputer typically costs several million dollars.
