Introduction
Computer is a device
comprising both hardware and software. The functions of hardware and software
combines together to make the Computer functional. A hardware device helps to
enter input information. The software processes the input data and gives the
output in the monitor, a hardware device. Thus a computer is like a human body,
where human body is the hardware and soul is the software.
Hardware
Hardware is the parts of
a computer which we can touch and feel. Hardware includes Input and Output
devices, Cabinet, Hard Disk, Mother Board, SMPS, CPU, RAM, CD Drive and
Graphics Card.
Software
Hardware is lifeless
without software in a computer. Software are programmed and coded applications
to process the input information. The software processes the data by converting
the input information into coding or programmed language. Touching and feeling
the software is not possible but we can see the functions of the software in
the form of output.
