Analog computers measure physical quantities and convert them to numeric values for calculations, like a gas pump converting fuel flow to price. Digital computers operate using binary digits to directly count and represent numbers, letters and symbols, like personal computers. A hybrid computer combines analog and digital elements, making it very fast and accurate for specialized uses such as in hospitals, spaceships and military weapons.

Analog computer: Analog computer is the computer that measure
physical quantities such as pressure and temperature and convert them
to numeric values for different calculation. For example, a service station gasoline pump contains an analog processor and analog device that converts fuel flow measurements into quantity and price values. Speedometer in cars is another example of analog computer.
Digital computer: A digital computer is based on the principle of
accounting. It directly count numbers, represent numbers, letters and other symbols. Digital computer stores data in the form of 0 and 1. All the personal computers are the examples of digital computers.
Hybrid computer: A hybrid computer combination of analog and
digital computers. These are special purpose computers, which are very fast and accurate. These computers are used in Hospitals, spaceship, missiles and in military weapons.
