DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to my noble and pious parents. My parents made most earnest and
unrelenting efforts in making me literate, knowledgeable, and disciplined. They subscribed to a
vision that an educated and knowledgeable person can bring cheerfulness in the lives of those
who come in touch with him, Therefore, imparting me the best possible academic and moral
education occupied most of their time, money, and resourses.
Today when I observe signs of satisfaction and cheerfulness in my computer classess, I
realize the importance and divinity of the vision of my parents. My this book is an another
attempt towards paying a tribute to their vision of sound education, profound knowledge, and
unassailable morality. I have made the most earnest efforts for imparting as much knowledge as
possible through this book.

What is Computer?
Definitions of computer
a) Computer is an electronic machine which collects input, performs processing then gives
desired result or output.
INPUT
PROCESS
- OUTPUT
Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and
processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result
(output) and saves output for the future use. It can process both numerical and non-numerical
(arithmetic and logical) calculations.
A computer has four functions:
a. accepts data
Input
b. processes data
Processing
c. produces output
Output
d. stores results
Storage
Input :
INPUT The data and instructions that we give to computer are called inputs.
PROCESSING Performing Mathematical and logical operations on data is called
processing.
OUTPUT the result of data processing that we get from computer are called output.
Computer System
All of the components of a computer system can be summarized with the simple equations.
COMPUTER SYSTEM = HARDWARE + SOFTWARE+ USER
Hardware = Internal Devices + Peripheral Devices

All physical parts of the computer (or everything that we can touch) are known as Hardware.
Software = Programs
Software gives "intelligence" to the computer.
USER = Person, who operates computer.

Generations of Computers
Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally
changed the way computers operate, resulting in increasingly smaller, cheaper, more powerful and more
efficient and reliable devices.
First Generation (1940-1956) Vacuum Tubes

First generation computers relied on machine language, the lowest-level programming language
understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time.
Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts.
The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC
was the first commercial computer delivered to a business client, the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951.
Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistors

Second-generation computers moved from cryptic binary machine language to symbolic, or
assembly, languages, which allowed programmers to specify instructions in words. High-level
programming languages were also being developed at this time, such as early versions of COBOL
and FORTRAN. These were also the first computers that stored their instructions in their memory,
which moved from a magnetic drum to magnetic core technology.
Third Generation (1964-1971) Integrated Circuits

The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers.
Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically
increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
Instead of punched cards and printouts, users interacted with third generation computers through
keyboards and monitors and interfaced with an operating system, which allowed the device to run
many different applications at one time with a central program that monitored the memory.
Fourth Generation (1971-Present) Microprocessors
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits
were built onto a single silicon chip. What in the first generation filled an entire room could now fit
in the palm of the hand. The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, located all the components of the
computerfrom the central processing unit and memory to input/output controlson a single
chip.
In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the
Macintosh. Microprocessors also moved out of the realm of desktop computers and into many
areas of life as more and more everyday products began to use microprocessors.
Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond) Artificial Intelligence

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development, though
there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of
parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality. Quantum
computation and molecular and nanotechnology will radically change the face of computers in
years to come. The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that respond to
natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.
Abacus to ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator): highlights in the

history of computing
1300 The abacus, using beads strung on wires and mounted in a frame, was in widespread use in China.
1500 The quipu, a system of knotted strings, was in extensive use by Peruvian Incas.
1614 John Napier described logarithms.
1617 Napier described his calculating rods, or "bones," in a book published the year he died.
1623 Wilhelm Schickard, in a letter to Johannes Kepler, gave the first known description of an automatic
adding machine.
1642 Blaise Pascal invented an adding machine; it is the oldest surviving example of a true adding
machine where tens carry.
1673 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's calculator mechanized multiplica tion as well as addition.
1803 Joseph Marie Jacquard began work on an automatic loom that used punched cards to control the
manufacturing process.
1822 Charles Babbage completed a model of the difference engine, a device that linked adding and
subtracting mechanisms to one another to calculate the values of more complex mathematical functions.
Charles Babbage known as father of computer.
1834 Babbage turned from construction of the difference engine to a far more ambitious analytical
engine: a machine that embodied in its design most of the features of a modern digital computer.

1853 The Scheutz difference engine, the world's first printing calculator, was completed.
1893 The Millionaire calculator, introduced in Switzerland, allowed direct multiplication by any digit and
was used by government agencies and scientists, especially astronomers, well into the 20th century.
1928 IBM adopted the 80-column punched card, the standard for the next 50 years.
1930 Vannevar Bush of MIT developed the differential analyzer, a large analog computer.
1942 J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, of the University of Pennsylvania, proposed an electronic
version of the Bush differential analyzer for the Army, which would operate digitally instead of by analog
means. The proposal led to the creation of the ENIAC.
1943 Electromechanical Bombes were built in Britan and the U.S. to decipher German messages
encrypted by Enigma.
1945 The ENIAC was completed and tested at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of
Pennsylvania.
1946 February 14: The public unveiling of the ENIAC took place in Philadelphia.
ENIAC - Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator; began construction in 1943 and completed
in 1946. Occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50
tons. ENIAC created to help with the war efforts against German forces.
UNIVAC - Universal Automatic Computer; A trademark of Unisys corporation; it was released in 1951
and 1952. UNIVAC contains thousands of vacuum tubes that utilize punch cards and switches.

Even though the world got introduced to the computer technology in late forties, India bought its
first computer in 1956 for a princely sum of Rs 10 lakh. It was called HEC-2M and was installed at
Calcuttas Indian Statistical Institute. It was nothing more than a number crunching machine and
was huge in size. The dimensions of this monster were 10 ft in length, 7 ft in breadth and 6 ft in
height. It played a critical role in formulating annual and five-year plans by the planning
commission, and in top-secret projects of Indias nuclear program. Moreover, it went on to turn out
Indias first generation of computer professionals. It was at least ten thousand times slower in
solving even simple problems than todays machines. But it set the stage for the development of
computers in India.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
The main unit inside the computer is the CPU. This unit is responsible for all events inside the
computer. It controls all internal and external devices, performs arithmetic and logic operations.
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the device that interprets and executes instructions.
Architecture of Computer
CPU=ALU + Registers + Control Unit.

ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit): FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
ALU is a digital circuit that calculates an arithmetic operation (e.g., addition, subtraction) and logic
operations between two numbers; the fundamental building block of the Central Processing Unit
(CPU) or a computer
Functions of ALU: The arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) performs all arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division) and logic operations. Logic operations test various conditions
encountered during processing and allow for different actions to be taken based on the results. The
data required to perform the arithmetic and logical functions are inputs from the designated CPU
registers and operands.
Control Unit: The control unit maintains order within the computer system and directs the flow of
traffic (operations) and data. The control unitselects one program statement at a time from
theprogram storage area, interprets the statement, and sends the appropriate
electronic
impulses to the arithmetic-logic unit and storage section to cause them to carry out the instruction

Output Devices
Any machine capable of representing information from a computer is known as output device. This
includes display screens, printers, plotters, and synthesizers.
Output devices are two types:
1. Hard Copy devices: Hard copy is a relatively permanent form of output that can be read immediately or stored for later
use, such as paper. Printers are the most common hard copy output devices.
2. Soft Copy devices: Soft copy is a transient form of output, for example, text on a screen display. It is lost if the
computer is turned off unless it is saved in the main memory or on a disk.
Printer: A device that prints text or illustrations on paper is known as printer. They are broadly categorized in to
two types, they are
1. Impact Printer
To create text or image by physically making the print head to press the ink ribbon and cause the ink
deposition on the paper in desired form is called impact type. Normally it is quite louder in nature when
compared to other types of printers. The well known example for impact type is Dot Matrix and Daisy
wheel.
Dot Matrix Printer: A type of printer that produces characters and illustrations by striking pins against an ink ribbon to
print closely spaced dots in the appropriate shape. Dot-matrix printers are relatively expensive and
do not produce high-quality output.
Dot-matrix printers vary in two important characteristics:
Speed:
Given in characters per second (cps), the speed can vary from about 50 to over 500 cps. Most dotmatrix printers offer different speeds depending on the quality of print desired.
Print Quality:
Determined by the number of pins (the mechanisms that print the dots), it can vary from 9 to 24.
The best dot-matrix printers (24 pins) can produce near letter-quality type.
1.
Non-Impact Type
This produce text or images on paper without striking the paper physically are called as non-impact
type. The well known example of this type is Thermal printer, lasers and inkjets.
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
Laser Printer: A type of printer that utilizes a laser beam to produce an image on a drum. The light of the laser
alters the electrical charge on the drum wherever it hits. The drum is then rolled through a
reservoir of toner. One of the chief characteristics of laser printers is their resolution how
many dots per inch (dpi) they lay down. The available resolutions range from 300 dpi at the low
end to 1,200 dpi at the high end.
Inkjet Printer: A type of printer that works by spraying ionized ink at a sheet of paper. Magnetized plates in the
inks path direct the ink onto the paper in the desired shapes. Ink-jet printers are capable of
producing high quality print approaching that produced by laser printers. A typical ink-jet printer
provides a resolution of 300 dots per inch, although some newer models offer higher
resolutions.
Plotter: A computer output device that draws graphs or pictures, usually by moving a pen. An output device that
draws graphs and other pictorial images on paper, sometimes using attached pens; to plod or totter,
move casually and lazily.
Dump Terminal: A display monitor that has no processing capabilities is an example of dump terminal. A dumb terminal
is simply an output device that accepts data from the CPU.
VDU (Visual Display Unit): Short for visual display unit, the old term for display monitors. The older VDUs included a CRT, a serial
port to connect to a main computer, and a keyboard. It is a soft copy output device.
Monitor:A monitor or display (also called screen or visual display unit) is an electronic visual display for
computers. The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry, and an enclosure. The display device in
modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor (TFT), liquid crystal display (LCD), thin panel, while
older monitors use a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size.
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT): The first computer monitors used cathode ray tubes (CRT). Until the early 1980s, they were known as
video display terminals and were physically attached to the computer and keyboard. The monitors were
monochrome, flickered and the image quality was poor.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): -
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses
the light modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs). LCs do not emit light directly.
LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, television, instrument
panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are common in consumer devices such as video
players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs have replaced cathode ray
tube (CRT) displays in most applications.
Thin-Film Transistor: A thin-film transistor (TFT) is a special kind of field-effect transistor made by depositing thin films of a
semiconductor active layer as well as the dielectric layer and metallic contacts over a supporting
substrate. A common substrate is glass, since the primary application of TFTs is in liquid crystal displays.
This differs from the conventional transistor where the semiconductor material typically is the substrate,
such as a silicon wafer.
Storage Devices
Devices used to store data that can be retrieved later.
1. Primary memory (main memory)

Primary storage, also known as main storage or memory, is the main area in a computer in
which data is stored for quick access by the computers processor. On todays smaller
computers, especially personal computers and workstations, the term random access
memory (RAM) - or just memory - is used instead of primary or main storage
A. RAM (Random Access Memory/
Read-Write Memory)
Pronounced ramm, acronym for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be
accessed randomly; that is, and any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding
bytes.
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
There are two different types of RAM: DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and SRAM (Static
Random Access Memory).
DRAM: A type of physical memory used in most personal computers. The term dynamic indicates that the
memory must be constantly refreshed (reenergized) or it will lose its contents. RAM (random-access
memory) is sometimes referred to as DRAM (pronounced dee-ram) to distinguish it from static RAM
(SRAM). Static RAM is faster and less volatile than dynamic RAM, but it requires more power and is more
expensive.
SRAM: Short for static random access memory, and pronounced ess-ram. SRAM is a type of memory that is
faster and more reliable than the more common DRAM (dynamic RAM). The term static is derived from
the fact that it doesnt need to be refreshed like dynamic RAM.
While DRAM supports access times of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as low as 10
nanoseconds.
The two types differ in the technology they use to hold data, with DRAM being the more common type.
In terms of speed, SRAM is faster. DRAM needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second while
SRAM does not need to be refreshed, which is what makes it faster than DRAM. DRAM supports access
times of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as low as 10 nanoseconds.
B. ROM (Read-only-memory)
ROM is a non volatile memory .It is a primary memory of computer, which stored data permanentaly.
Types of ROM
A. PROM: Short for programmable read-only memory, a memory chip on which data can be written only once.
Once a program has been written onto a PROM, it remains there forever. Unlike RAM, PROMs retain
their contents when the computer is turned off.
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
The difference between a PROM and a ROM (read-only memory) is that a PROM is manufactured as
blank memory, whereas a ROM is programmed during the manufacturing process. To write data onto a
PROM chip, you need a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner. The process of
programming a PROM is sometimes called burning the PROM.
A.
EPROM: -
Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory, and pronounced ee-prom, EPROM is a special
type of memory that retains its contents until it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light clears
its contents, making it possible to reprogram the memory. To write to and erase an EPROM, you need a
special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner.
An EPROM differs from a PROM in that a PROM can be written to only once and cannot be erased
A. EEPROM: EEPROM short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. EEPROM is a special type of
PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge. Like other types of PROM, EEPROM
retains its contents even when the power is turned off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as
fast as RAM.
EEPROM is similar to flash memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM). The principal difference is that
EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to
be written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster.
1. Secondary memory (storage devices)

Secondary memory (or secondary storage) is the slowest and cheapest form of memory. It cannot be
processed directly by the CPU. It must first be copied into primary storage (also known as RAM).
Secondary memory devices include magnetic disks like hard drives and floppy disks; optical disks such as
CDs and CD-ROM; and magnetic tapes, which were the first forms of secondary memory.

many bits at once. The serial port is typically the slowest port you'll find on a PC, if you find one
at all. Most newer computers have replaced serial ports with much faster and more compatible
USB ports.
b) Parallel Port
A connector for a device that sends or receives several bits of data simultaneously by using
more than one wire is known as parallel port.
c) USB (Universal Serial Bus) Port: Universal Serial Bus, a connection technology for attaching peripheral devices to a computer or
other electronic machines, providing fast data exchange. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a
specification to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually
personal computers), developed and invented by Ajay Bhatt while working for Intel.

1. Application software:
Application software, also known as an application, is computer software designed to help the user to
perform singular or multiple related specific tasks. Examples include enterprise software, accounting
software, office suites, graphics software, and media players.
a) Package Software
Multiple software programs that work together (or performs similar functions) and is bundled and sold
together as a software package. Examples are :Ms. Office 2003, Ms. Office 2007, Macromedia (Dreamweaver, Flash, Freehand), Adobe (PageMaker,
PhotoShop)
a) Tailored or Custom Software
Custom software (also known as bespoke software) is a type of software that is developed either for a
specific organization or function that differs from or is opposite of other already available softwareSAGE
(Accounting), Galileo/Worldspan (Travel) etc.
3. Computer Languages & Scripting:

a) Low Level Language
Machine languages and assembly languages are known as low-level languages because they interact
directly with the computers hardware using machine-oriented codes rather than English-like commands
i) Machine Level Language
ii) Assembly Language
Machine language: These language instructions are directly executed by CPU
Assembly language: The endeavor of giving machine language instructions a name structure that means
bit strings of instructions of machine language are given name here
(b) High Level Language: The user friendly language ...more natural language than assembly language.
Assembler is needed to convert assembly language into machine language
Complier is needed to convert high level to machine language.

On the basis of Size

a) Super Computer
The fastest type of computer. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized
applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations. For example, weather
forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers include animated graphics, fluid
dynamic calculations, nuclear energy research, and petroleum exploration.
The chief difference between a supercomputer and a mainframe is that a supercomputer channels all its
power into executing a few programs as fast as possible, whereas a mainframe uses its power to
execute many programs concurrently.
b) Mainframe Computer

the hierarchy that starts with a simple microprocessor (in watches, for example) at the bottom and
moves to supercomputers at the top, mainframes are just below supercomputers. In some ways,
mainframes are more powerful than supercomputers because they support more simultaneous
programs. But supercomputers can execute a single program faster than a mainframe.
c) Mini Computer
A midsized computer. In size and power, minicomputers lie between workstations and mainframes. In the
past decade, the distinction between large minicomputers and small mainframes has blurred, however, as
has the distinction between small minicomputers and workstations. But in general, a minicomputer is a
multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.

INTERNET
Internet:The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a
network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get
information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). It
was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969
and was first known as the ARPANet. The original aim was to create a network that would allow
FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
users of a research computer at one university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other
universities.
Network:In information technology, a network is a series of points or nodes or computers interconnected by
communication paths. Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain subnetworks.
The most common topology or general configurations of networks include the bus, star, token ring,
and mesh topologies. Networks can also be characterized in terms of spatial distance as local area
networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs).
Types of Networks:LAN - Local Area Network
WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
WAN - Wide Area Network
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area
Network
CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network
PAN - Personal Area Network
DAN - Desk Area Network
LAN - Local Area Network
A LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building,
school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few
small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings.
WAN - Wide Area Network

A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects
LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address.
Wireless Local Area Network
A LAN based on WiFi wireless network technology
Metropolitan Area Network FUNDAMENTAL
ARVIND MISHRA
ARVIND MISHRA
A network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city is
known as MAN. A MAN is typically owned an operated by a single entity such as a government body
or large corporation.
Campus Area Network
A network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN is known as CAN, such as on a university
or local business campus.
Storage Area Network

SAN connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fibre Channel.
System Area Network
It links high-performance computers with high-speed connections in a cluster configuration. It is also
known as Cluster Area Network.
Homogenous Network: A network running a single network layer protocol is known as Homogenous Network.
Heterogeneous Network: A network running multiple network layer protocols is known as Heterogeneous Network. A
heterogeneous network is a network connecting computers and other devices with different
operating systems and/or protocols. For example, local area networks (LANs) that connect Microsoft
Windows and Linux based personal computers with Apple Macintosh computers are heterogeneous.
SWAN (State Wide Area Network): In India, SWAN is a government-subsidized project to create a state wide area network (WAN) that
will improve government efficiency. SWAN was approved by the government of India in March 2005
and is targeted for completion in June 2010.
When the SWAN project is completed, government offices in each of India's 29 states and six union
territories will be connected and able to support National e-Governance Plan (NEGP) initiatives for
government-to-government and government-to-consumer services.
What is a Topology?

Mesh
More complex networks can be built as hybrids of two or more of the above basic topologies.
Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity)
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term for certain types of wireless local area network (WLAN)
that use specifications in the 802.11 family. The term Wi-Fi was created by an organization called
the Wi-Fi Alliance, which oversees tests that certify product interoperability. A product that passes
the alliance tests is given the label "Wi-Fi certified" (a registered trademark).
What is a Network Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a network.
These rules include guidelines that regulate the following characteristics of a network: access
method, allowed physical topologies, types of cabling, and speed of data transfer.
Types of Network Protocols

FTP: - File Transfer Protocol
HTTP: -Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
HTTPS: - Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
UDP: - User Datagram Protocol
WWW
WWW Stands for "World Wide Web." It is important to know that this is not a synonym for the Internet.
The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web

consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual network of
networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming, Internet Relay Chat
(IRC), and e-mail are all part of the Internet, but are not part of the World Wide Web. The Hyper-Text
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer Web pages to your computer. With hypertext, a
word or phrase can contain a link to another Web site. All Web pages are written in the hyper-text
markup language (HTML), which works in conjunction with HTTP.
E-Mail (electronic mail or email)
E-mail (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by telecommunication. E-mail
messages are usually encoded in ASCII text.
However, you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files, as attachments sent
in binary streams. E-mail was one of the first uses of the Internet and is still the most popular use.

Website:
A website is a collection of WebPages. A website is actually a collection of files and documents
which is saved in a server (it's a specific computer that is connected to the internet all the time).
Every file has its own address that called as URL (Uniform Resource Locators). If you want to
