Basic Concepts of Computer:
Computer is an electronic device which is used to store the data, as per given instructions it gives results quickly and accurately.
• Data : Data is a raw material of information.
• Information : Proper collection of the data is called information.

• Data type :
is a classification of the type of data that a variable or object can hold in computer programming. Data types are an important factor in virtually all computer programming languages, including C#, C++, JavaScript, and Visual Basic.
Examples of data types
• Boolean (e.g., True or False)
• Character (e.g., a)
• Date (e.g., 03/01/2016)
• Floating-point number (e.g., 1.234)
• Integer (e.g., 1234)
• String (e.g., abcd)
• Others

Generations of Computer
• The computer has evolved from a large-sized simple calculating machine to asmaller but much more powerful machine.
• The evolution of computer to the current state is defined in terms of thegenerations of computer.
• Each generation of computer is designed based on a new technologicaldevelopment, resulting in better, cheaper and smaller computers that aremore powerful, faster and efficient.
• Currently, there are five generations of computer. In the followingsubsections.

11Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
First Generation Computers (1940-1956)
The first computers used vacuum tubes(a sealed glass tube containing a
near-vacuum which allows the free passage of electric current.) for
circuitry and magnetic drums for memory.
They were very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of
electricity, generated a lot of heat.
Example : Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer (ENIAC) .
12Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
First Generation Computers
Advantages :
• It was only electronic device
Disadvantages :
• large in size
• Vacuum tubes burn frequently
• Maintenance problems
13Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Second Generation Computers (1956-1963)
• Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers.
• Second-generation computers moved from binary machine language to symbolic.
• High-level programming languages were also being developed at this time, such as early versions of COBOL and FORTRAN.
• Example : IBM 1401
14Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Second Generation Computers
Advantages :
• Size reduced The very fast
Disadvantages :
• They over heated quickly
• Maintenance problems
15Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Third Generation Computers(1964-1971)
• The development of the Integrated Circuit (IC).
• Allowed the device to run many different applications at one time.
• Example: IBM System/360
Advantages :
ICs are very small in size
Improved performance
Production cost cheap
16Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Fourth Generation Computers(1971-present)
• The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip.
• From the central processing unit and memory to input/output controls—on a single chip.
• . Fourth generation computers also saw the development of GUIs, the mouse and other devices.
• Example: Macintosh 128k
17Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Fifth Generation Computers(present and beyond)
• Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence.
• Are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition.
• The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality.
• Example: Super computer
18Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Features of a Computer
High speed, accuracy large storage capacity, high reliability and versatility are some of the important features of computers.
• SPEED : In general, no human being can compete to solving the complex computation, faster than computer.
• ACCURACY : Since Computer is programmed, so what ever input we give it gives result with accurately.
• STORAGE : Computer can store mass storage of data with appropriate format.
• POWER OF REMEMBERING : It can remember data for us.
• Computer can work for hours without any break and creating error.
• We can use computer to perform completely different type of work at the same time.

Types of Computers1. Analog Computers
Analog computers are used to process continuous data. Analog computers
represent variables by physical quantities. Thus any computer which solve
problem by translating physical conditions such as temperature, pressure,
or voltage into related mechanical or electrical related circuits as an analog
for the physical phenomenon being investigated in general it is a computer
which uses an analog quantity and produces analog values as output.
Analog computers are very much speedy. They produce their results very
fast. But their results are approximately correct. All the analog computers
are special purpose computers.

2. Digital Computers
Digital computer represents physical quantities with the help of digits or
numbers. These numbers are used to perform Arithmetic calculations and
also make logical decision to reach a conclusion, depending on, the data
they receive from the user.
Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai 25
3. Hybrid Computers
Various specifically designed computers are with both digital and analog
characteristics combining the advantages of analog and digital computers
when working as a system. Hybrid computers are being used extensively in
process control system where it is necessary to have a close representation
with the physical world.

Primary Memory
1. RAM: Random Access Memory: is a memory scheme within the computer system responsible for storing data on a temporary basis, so that it can be promptly accessed by the processor as and when needed.
• It is volatile in nature, which means that data will be erased once supply to the storage device is turned off.
• RAM stores data randomly and the processor accesses these data randomly from the RAM storage.

Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Computer Programming Languages:
• A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer
• Programming languages, like human languages, are defined through the use of syntactic and semantic rules, to determine structure and meaning respectively.

programming language.
• Machine languages
are the only languages
understood by computers.

Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Machine language:
• While easily understood by computers, machine languages are almost impossible for humans to use because they consist entirely of numbers.
For example, an x86/IA-32 processor can execute the following binary instruction as expressed in machine language:
Binary: 10110000 01100001 (Hexadecimal: 0xb061)

Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Assembly Level Language:
• An assembly language is a low-level language for programming computers.
• The word "low" does not imply that the language is inferior to high-level programming languages but rather refers to the small or nonexistent amount of abstraction between the language and machine language, because of this, low-level languages are sometimes described as being "close to the hardware."

Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
Assembly Level Language (contd…):
• A utility program called an assembler, is used to translate assembly language statements into the target computer's machine code.
• Example: Assembly language representation is easier to remember (more mnemonic)
mov al, 061h
This instruction means:
Move the hexadecimal value 61 (97 decimal) into the processor register named "al".

Example (Adds 2 numbers):
name "add"
mov al, 5 ; bin=00000101b
mov bl, 10 ; hex=0ah or bin=00001010b
add bl, al ; 5 + 10 = 15 (decimal) or hex=0fh or

Ass. Lec. Tamara A. Anai
High-level language:
• High-level languages are relatively easy to learn because the instructions bear a close resemblance to everyday language, and because the programmer does not require a detailed knowledge of the internal workings of the computer.
• Each instruction in a high-level language is equivalent to several machine-code instructions, therefore it is more compact than equivalent low-level programs.
• High-level languages are used to solve problems and are often described as problem-oriented languages

High-level language (Contd…):
Examples of HLL:• BASIC was designed to be easily learnt by first-time programmers;
• COBOL is used to write programs solving business problems;
• FORTRAN is used for programs solving scientific and mathematical problems.
• With the increasing popularity of windows-based systems, the next generation of programming languages was designed to facilitate the development of GUI interfaces;
for example, Visual Basic wraps the BASIC language in a graphical programming environment.
• Support for object-oriented programming has also become more common, for example in C++ and Java.
