Block structure (computer programming & utilization)
- 2. 1. Block diagram of a computer 2. Input unit 3. Memory unit a) Primary memory b) Secondary memory 4. ALU 5. CU 6. Central processing unit 7. Output unit
- 4. It reads the data and program into the computer. The program contain instruction about what has to be done with the data. It provide a way of man to machine communication. Input Unit
- 5. Memory • Primary -Internal • Secondary: External
- 6. It performs the arithmetic & logical operations on the data as a result of the execution of the decoded instruction. Arithmetic Logical Unit
- 7. It is responsible for the movement of data & instruction in and out of the memory and CPU. Control Unit
- 8. The purpose of CPU is to execute the programs stored in the main memory. Central Processing Unit
- 9. These devices are required to deliver results to the user of computer system. This unit provides a way of machine to man communication Output Unit
