1. A computer is an electronic device that can receive, store, process, and

output data. It can perform tasks according to instructions given to it by a
user or by pre-programmed software.

2. A computer system is a combination of hardware and software

components that work together to perform tasks. It includes input devices,
output devices, processing units, storage devices, and communication
devices.

3. The different parts of a computer system include:

- Input devices: These devices allow users to input data into the computer,
such as keyboards, mice, scanners, and microphones.
- Output devices: These devices display or output data from the computer,
such as monitors, printers, and speakers.
- Processing units: The central processing unit (CPU) is the main
component that performs calculations and executes instructions.
- Storage devices: These devices store data and programs on the
computer, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, and USB flash drives.
- Communication devices: These devices allow the computer to connect to
networks and other devices, such as modems, routers, and network cards.
4. The different types of hardware include:

- Input devices: Keyboard, mouse, scanner

- Output devices: Monitor, printer, speakers
- Processing units: CPU, GPU, RAM

5. The types of software include:

- System software: Operating systems, device drivers, utility software (e.g.,

antivirus software)
- Application software: Word processing software, spreadsheet software,
graphic design software
- Programming software: Compilers, interpreters, text editors.
