    The document describes data input and output in a computer system, explaining that data input involves placing data into main memory from input devices such as a keyboard or disk, while data output sends data from main memory to output devices such as a screen or printer. It also mentions two types of control structures: selective and repetitive, which allow selecting between options or executing instructions several times respectively.

    1 INPUT AND OUTPUT DATA


    Data entry consists of placing data from some input device (keyboard, disk, etc.) in main memory
    so that the computer, according to a program, performs a task.

    Data output consists of sending data (usually the result of processing) from main memory to an
    output device (display, printer, disk, etc.).

    The following figure shows a conceptual diagram of the computer equipment.

    There are 2 types of control structures:

    • Selective
    • Repetitive
    The former allow you to select a path to be executed from two or more options "once only"; and
    the second, allow a set of instructions to be executed "several times" as long as a condition is met.

    When writing a control structure, you should keep in mind that correct tabulation will make the
    program more readable and easier to understand. Programming languages perform this tabulation
    automatically, as long as the beginning and end of each structure are written correctly.
