 Computer
 Is an electronic device that is used to
solve the various problems of the user
according to a set of instruction given
to it.

 Electronic device that accept data,

process data according to the given
instructions and then provide useful
information.

 Computer word is derived from word

“compute” that means to calculate.
 Data
 The word “Data” refers to facts concerning things,
people, objects etc.

 Therefore, Collection of raw facts and figures

collected for a specific purpose, is called data.

 Any thing before processing

 Isolated facts
 Types of Data

 Isolated Facts  Organized Facts

 Input  Output

 Before processing  After Processing

 Marks  GPA
 Data Processing
 Process of converting data into useful
information.
 Data is the input of the processing system
 Ex.
If we want to get a list of all those students
who got A grade, we will apply some
processing on marks of the students. This
process will give us new information in the
form of desired list
