Major components of a COMPUTER

Hardware-

Computer hardware refers to the physical parts of a computer and related devices. Internal hardware devices include motherboards, hard drives, and RAM. External hardware devices include monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, and scanners.The internal hardware parts of a computer are often referred to as components, while external hardware devices are usually called peripherals. Together, they all fall under the category of computer hardware. Software, on the other hand, consists of the programs and applications that run on computers. Because software runs on computer hardware, software programs often have system requirements that list the minimum hardware required for the software to run

Software-

Instructions for the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a "program." The two major categories of software are "system software" and "application software." System software is made up of control programs such as the operating system and database management system (DBMS). Application software is any program that processes data for the user (inventory, payroll, spreadsheet, word processor, etc.). See system software and application software

Peopleware-

PeopleWARE eGroup is an online community consisting of HR, Finance and IT professionals who are virtually collaborating on HR/Payroll process improvement and automation. It aims to advance people care management practice through innovative process- and technology-based solutions.At present, there are more than 300 members in this egroup consisting of HR, Finance and IT directors, managers, and professionals, most of them are users of PeopleWARE, Philippines' most preferred HR/Payroll software

I was a "tambay" for two years. And when I met my girlfriend she told me to go to school again,so I decided to enroll again.


C++ Program
-to output an integer
#include
#include
void main()
{
clrscr();
int x = 10;
float y = 10.1;
char z = 'a';
cout << "x = " << y = " << y << endl; cout << " z =" ">
OUTPUT

Exercise 2











-Computer Software-

Computer software, consisting of programs, enables a computer to perform specific tasks, as opposed to its physical components (hardware) which can only do the tasks they are mechanically designed for. The term includes application software such as word processors which perform productive tasks for users, system software such as operating systems, which interface with hardware to run the necessary services for user-interfaces and applications, and middleware which controls and co-ordinates distributed systems.

-Computer Hardware-

Computer hardware is the physical part of a computer, including
the digital circuitry, as distinguished from the computer software that executes within the hardware. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in comparison with software and data, which are "soft" in the sense that they are readily created, modified or erased on the computer. Firmware is a special type of software that rarely, if ever, needs to be changed and so is stored on hardware devices such as read-only memory (ROM) where it is not readily changed (and is, therefore, "firm" rather than just "soft").
