There are three main types of computers: analog computers, digital computers, and hybrid computers. Analog computers operate on continuous ranges of values like voltage and temperature, so their results are only approximate. Digital computers use binary and operate with only two values, 0 and 1, allowing for more accurate and faster results. Hybrid computers combine aspects of analog and digital computers and are often used to model complicated physical processes.
Types of computer
- 1. TYPES OF COMPUTER1 By Zafarullah kolachi Lecturer (Computer Science)
- 2. Types of Computers based on Principles of Operation There are three different types of computers according to the principles of operation. Those three types of computers are: Analog Computers Digital Computers Hybrid Computers
- 3. Analog Computers Analog Computer is a computing device that works on continuous range of values. The results given by the analog computers will only be approximate since they deal with quantities that vary continuously. It generally deals with physical variables such as voltage, pressure, temperature, speed, etc
- 5. Digital Computer On the other hand a digital computer operates on digital data such as numbers. It uses binary number system in which there are only two digits 0 and 1. Each one is called a bit. The digital computer is designed using digital circuits in which there are two levels for an input or output signal. These two levels are known as logic 0 and logic 1. Digital Computers can give more accurate and faster results. Digital computer is well suited for solving complex problems in engineering and technology. Hence digital computers have an increasing use in the field of design, research and data processing.
- 7. Hybrid Computer A hybrid computer combines the desirable features of analogand digital computers. It is mostly used for automaticoperations of complicated physical processes and machines. Now-adaysanalog-to-digital and digital-to- analog converters are used fortransforming the data into suitable form for either type ofcomputation.
