Data processing occurs when data is collected and translated into usable
information. Usually performed by a data scientist or team of data scientists, it is
important for data processing to be done correctly as not to negatively affect the
end product, or data output.

Content data meansany data whether in digital, optical, or other form, including
metadata, that conveys essence, substance, information, meaning, purpose, intent,
or intelligence, either singularly or when in a combined form, in either its
unprocessed or processed form.
In computing, data is information that has been translated into a form that is
efficient for movement or processing. Relative to today's computers and
transmission media, data is information converted into binary digital form. It is
acceptable for data to be used as a singular subject or a plural s subject

Data is a collection of facts, while information puts those facts into

context. While data is raw and unorganized, information is organized.
Data points are individual and sometimes unrelated.
Data is unorganized, while information is structured or organized.
Information is an uncountable noun, while data is a mass noun. Data is not
typically useful on its own, but information is. Data generally includes the
raw forms of numbers, statements, and characters.

The NCHAR data type stores fixed-length character data. The data can be
a string of single-byte or multibyte letters, digits, and other symbols that are
supported by the code set of the database locale. The NUMERIC data type
is a synonym for fixed-point DECIMAL. The NVARCHAR data type stores
strings of varying lengths.
Numerical data refers to the data that is in the form of numbers, and not in
any language or descriptive form. Often referred to as quantitative data,
numerical data is collected in number form and stands different from any
form of number data types due to its ability to be statistically and
arithmetically calculated.

Character data types are strings of ASCII characters. Upper and lower
case alphabetic characters are accepted literally. There are two fixed-
length character data types, char and c, and two variable-length
character data types: varchar and text.
data processing, manipulation of data by a computer. It includes the conversion of
raw data to machine-readable form, flow of data through the CPU and memory to
output devices, and formatting or transformation of output. Any use of computers
to perform defined operations on data can be included under data processing.

What is Data Input? Any information that is provided to a computer or a

software program is known as input. Since the information provided is also
considered to be data, the process of providing information to the computer
is also known as data input
Data processing occurs when data is collected and

data scientist or team of data scientists, it is important for
data processing to be done correctly as not to negatively
affect the end product, or data output.

Data processing starts with data in its raw form and

converts it into a more readable format (graphs, documents,
etc.), giving it the form and context necessary to be
interpreted by computers and utilized by employees
throughout an organization.

Data that is the result of a computer, device, program, or process.

Data storage refers to magnetic, optical or mechanical media that records
and preserves digital information for ongoing or future operations.

Real-time processing- is a method of processing data at a near-instant rate,

requiring a constant flow of data intake and output to maintain real-time insights.

Batch processing- is the method computers use to periodically complete high-

volume, repetitive data jobs. Certain data processing tasks, such as backups,
filtering, and sorting, can be compute intensive and inefficient to run on individual
data transactions.
Manual Data Processing. In manual data processing, data is processed manually
without using any machine or tool to get required results. In manual data
processing, all the calculations and logical operations are performed manually on
the data. Similarly, data is transferred manually from one place to another.

Electronic data processing (EDP) refers to the gathering of data using electronic
devices, such as computers, servers or calculators. It is another term for automatic
information processing. It also involves analyzing data and summarizing and
recording the output in a (human) usable form.
involves getting the original data to the ‘processing centre’, transcribing it,
converting it from one medium to Data capture is the process of obtaining
data in a computer-sensible form for at the point of origin (the source
document itself is prepared in a machine-sensible form for input)another,
and finally getting it into the computer.

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that
acts as its “control center.” The CPU, also referred to as the “central” or “main”
processor, is a complex set of electronic circuitry that runs the machine's operating
system and apps.

RAM, which stands for random access memory, and ROM, which stands for read-
only memory, are both present in your computer. RAM is volatile memory that
temporarily stores the files you are working on. ROM is non-volatile memory that
permanently stores instructions for your computer.
