. (Analog data is continuous) Computers that accept analog input and provide analog output. Deal with variables. It is used for measuring physical quantities. Special purpose computers. Speedometer, Weight machine,Thermometer DIGITAL COMPUTERS Computers that process digital data are called digital computers.(Digital data is discrete) Computers that accepts digital input and provide digital output. Measure digital quantities. General purpose. HYBRID COMPUTERS Computers that process analog as well as digital data are called hybrid computers. Special purpose.

According to Size MAINFRAME COMPUTERS Expensive, Large in memory, Powerful, Used in large organizations, Perform multiple jobs Support hundred of users, Need air conditioned rooms

MINI COMPUTERS As compared to mainframe, mini computers are: Small in size, Occupy small room, Less peripheral devices, Less Expensive Small in memory, Less Powerful, Used in small organizations, Perform multiple jobs, Support fewer users

MICRO COMPUTERS Basis of micro computer is micro processor As compared to mainframe and mini computers, micro computers are: Smallest in size, Placed on the top of desk thats why called desktop computers. Laptop is microcomputer, Personal Computers (PCs) , Least Expensive, Smallest in memory Least Powerful, Used in small business, schools, homes, Support one users

SUPER COMPUTERS Complex machines, Use advance techniques, High speed, Large in size, High computing capacities (number crunchers), Require air-conditioned rooms, Perform calculations
