4 BASIC OPERATION OF COMPUTER

INPUT - Input is the addition or rendering of data into the computer. This incorporates the
mandatory input of a programmer through the keyboard, scanner or other forms of storage media.
The most basic sort of input would be typing source code through a keyboard.

PROCESS - Processing is the manipulation of information by the computer system. Processing


uses the processor or random access memory, otherwise known as RAM. Processing involves the
computer's ability to alter data at the command of the programmer's input.

STORAGE - Storage is the process of permanently saving data on the computer. This process
involves a hard drive of some kind. After data has been processed, it must subsequently be stored
on a hard drive as opposed to simply rendered via the RAM, which is not a form of permanent
storage.

OUTPUT - Output is when the computer displays data to be viewed by the programmer or other
individuals. Output usually involves the monitor, printer or a form of storage media that data is
copied to. Output typically involves some finished product that is separate from the computer
system.
