Functions of a Computer

There are many basic functions of a Computer. The main functions of a Computer are:


  1. Arrangement of Information: A Computer can arrange information in a particular order. Ordered information is useful and valuable for human beings. Such information simplifies our work. Life becomes easy.


Computers can order any list very fast. Different ordering methods are used by Computers. These methods are excellent examples of mindwork. Such mindwork shows that Computers can use human thinking in a big way.

2) Making Calculations: 

Simple and difficult calculations can be done with the help of a Computer. Besides arithmetic operations the Computer can make comparisons. Matching of different sets of numbers is simple. As for example, finding out the common number, or the odd number is a simple matter for Computer.  Also, it can make different combinations out of symbols.


3) Careful Examination of Information: A Computer makes careful examination of the work that it is given. As very close examination is made, chances of the Computer going wrong is out of question.


4) Giving Correct Answers: The answers given by a Computer are correct. Everybody in this world knows that such answers are meaningful. This kind of Computer response is welcome. When answers are to the point, they solve our problems very well. Such replies of Computers are given value.


5) Presentation of Reports: 


A Computer can generate good looking reports. Such reports can deal with any subject. Computer presented reports are very powerful. They catch our attention.

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Computers - An Introduction

Computers are man made machines. They are made to work very fast. Working fast they can solve  big and small problems.  Modern science has given us these computers. They are very popular. Computers affect and change lives. They keep us happy.The happiness grows. Computers are quick and smart. Great problem solvers and simplifiers are our computers. They can do our work without stopping. Focus is on doing only what is needed. Not needed, not done.  Computers are  life-less servants. They cannot think or make decisions on their own. They are empowered to work. They are given each and every thing so that they carry out our orders. Orders are respected by computers. The manner in which computers work is wholly dependent on man.  The quality of service provided by computers is remarkable. They are loved by human beings. Computers are known for smart and quick service. Computers do not give wrong results. Correct answers are always given. Questions which are difficult...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
