What is a computer?

A computer is an electronic device that takes input (data), processes it,


and produces output (results). It helps you perform tasks like typing
documents, browsing the internet, watching videos, and more.
PARTS OF COMPUTER

Basic Components of a Computer

Hardware (Physical parts you can touch)


• CPU (Central Processing Unit) – the “brain” of the computer
• Monitor – displays output (screen)
• Keyboard – used to type input
• Mouse – used to point and click
• Storage devices – like Hard Disk, SSD, USB drives
Input and Output Devices
• Input devices: Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner
• Output devices: Monitor, Printer, Speakers

Input = what you give


Output = what computer gives back

[Link]

A monitor is an output device that displays information from


the computer in visual form (text, images, videos).
It typically includes a display panel, supporting circuitry, power
unit, enclosure, connectors for external devices, and controls for
user interaction
PARTS OF MONITOR

TYPES OF MONITORS:
A keyboard is an input device used to enter data and
instructions into a computer. Used to type letters,
numbers, and symbols
A standard computer keyboard usually has 104 keys
(on a full-size keyboard) but this can vary depending
on the type of keyboard. Here’s a breakdown:
Parts of keyboard

Total Keys on a Standard Keyboard


1. Alphanumeric Keys (letters & numbers) – 47 keys
• 26 letters (A–Z)
• 10 numbers (0–9)
• 11 punctuation and symbol keys (like; : , . / ' " \ [ ] - =)
2. Function Keys (F1–F12) – 12 keys
• Used for shortcuts and special actions
3. Control Keys – 6–8 keys
• Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Esc, Windows key, Menu key
4. Navigation Keys – 6 keys
• Arrow keys (4)
• Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Insert, Delete
5. Numeric Keypad – 17 keys
• 0–9 numbers, + - * / . and Enter key
6. Other Special Keys
• Spacebar – 1 key
• Tab, Caps Lock, Backspace, Enter – 4 keys

Total
• 47 (alphanumeric) + 12 (function) + 8 (control) + 6–10 (navigation) + 17 (numeric) + 5
(other) = ~104 keys

MOUSE
A mouse is an input device that allows the user to interact with
the computer by controlling the movement of the pointer on the
screen

PARTS OF MOUSE
What does a Mouse do?
• Moves the cursor on the screen
• Allows selecting, dragging, and dropping items
• Used to open files, click buttons, and interact with software
• commands

Parts of a Mouse
• Left Button → Select items, click, double-click
• Right Button → Opens context menu
• Scroll Wheel → Scroll pages or zoom
• Body / Sensor → Detects movement

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The CPU is called the “brain of the computer” because it


controls all operations and processes data.

What does a CPU do?

• Processes instructions from programs

• Performs calculations (math and logic)

• Controls input and output devices

Main Parts of a CPU


1. ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)

o Performs mathematical calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).

o Handles logical operations (AND, OR, NOT, comparisons).

2. Control Unit (CU)

o Directs the flow of data between the CPU, memory, and input/output devices.

o Tells the ALU and memory what to do and when.


3. Registers

o Very fast storage inside the CPU for temporary data.

o Examples: Program Counter (PC), Accumulator, Instruction Register (IR).

4. Cache

o Small, very fast memory inside the CPU.

o Stores frequently used data to speed up processing.

HARD DISK

A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a storage device used to save


data permanently on a computer, even when it’s turned off.
Unlike RAM (which is temporary), a hard disk stores files,
programs, and the operating system long-term.

Think of it as
your computer’s digital filing cabinet.

Types of Memory

• RAM (Random Access Memory) – temporary memory (fast, but data is lost when power is off)

• ROM (Read Only Memory) – permanent memory

• Storage – Hard Disk / SSD for saving files permanently.
