Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices.

It is the collection
of letters, numbers, images etc.
Computer data is information required by the computer to be able to operate. It is used to: Run
programs - This is the actual executable program data that the computer will execute to run the
program such as Microsoft Word.
Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as
Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use.
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
The main unit inside the computer is the CPU. This unit is responsible for all events inside the
computer. It controls all internal and external devices, performs arithmetic and logic operations.
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the device that interprets and executes instructions.
Software, simply are the computer programs. The instructions given to the computer in the
form of a program is called Software. Software is the set of programs, which are used for
different purposes. All the programs used in computer to perform specific task is called Software.
A bit is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have
only one of two values, and may therefore be physically implemented with a two-state device.
These values are most commonly represented as either a 0or1. The term bit is a portmanteau of
binary digit.
File
A collection of data or information that has a name, called the filename. Almost all
information stored in a computer must be in a file. There are many different types of
files: data files, text files ,program files, directory files, and so on. Different types of files store
different types of information. For example, program files store programs, whereas text files
store text.
A byte is a unit of measurement of the size of information on a computer or other electronic
device. A single typed character (for example, 'x' or '8') measures one byte. A single byte
generally holds eight bits (bits are, in turn, the smallest unit of storage on a computer, meaning
what atoms mean for matter).
memory refers to the devices used to store information for use in a computer. The term
primary memory is used for storage systems which function at high-speed.
In a computer, storage is the place where data is held in an electromagnetic or optical form for
access by a computer processor.
character is a unit of information that roughly corresponds to a grapheme, grapheme-like unit,
or symbol, such as in an alphabet in the written form of a natural language.

INFORMATION any data that can be stored in and retrieved from a computer
A kilobyte (kB) is a number used to measure storage space on computer hard
drives or computer memory. A kilobyte originally meant 1000 bytes. Over time the meaning
changed and today it is often used to mean 1024 bytes. This created some confusion as a

"kilo" normally means 1000.[1] The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) now
defines a kilobyte as being 1000 bytes. [2] According to the IEC, the correct name for 1,024
bytes is a kibibyte.[1]

A megabyte (MB) is a large number used when talking about hard drives or computer memory.
One megabyte is 1 million bytes or 1 thousand kilobytes.
Until December 1998, when the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) first defined
a mebibyte as 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, megabyte also meant either 1,048,576 bytes, or
1,024,000 bytes. Casual computer users still often use megabyte to mean one of these numbers.

A gigabyte (GB), sometimes abbreviated as a gig, is a unit of measurement in computers and

similar electronic devices. At first it meant exactly 1 billion bytes, usually referring to the number
of bytes in a computer hard drive. Its meaning gradually changed over time, so that today it is
often used to mean 1,073,741,824 (230) bytes, especially when referring to the random access
memory (RAM) of a modern computer. Now international standards bodies say a gigabyte should
only be used to mean exactly 1 billion bytes, and that gibibyte is a better name for
1,073,741,824 bytes. In everyday use, people use gigabyte to mean 1,073,741,824 bytes when
talking about computer memory and 1,000,000,000 bytes when talking about computer disk
space.
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of measurement in computers and similar electronic devices. One
terabyte holds 1000 gigabytes (GB) or a trillion (1,000,000,000,000) bytes, and 1000 terabytes
make one petabyte.
A computer program is a list of instructions that tell a computer what to do. Everything a
computer does is done by using a computer program. Some examples of computer programs:
A web browser like Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari can be used to view web pages on the
Internet.
A data file is a computer file which stores data to be used by a computer application or system.
An executable file is a computer file that contains instructions in a form that a computer's
operating system or application can understand and follow. Computers must use executable
files to carry out the tasks that you give to them. Every application you run starts off with
an executable program.
Processing is an open source programming language and integrated development
environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts, new media art, and visual design communities
with the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context,
and to serve as the foundation for electronic sketchbooks. The project was initiated in 2001
by Casey Reas and Benjamin Fry, both formerly of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at
the MIT Media Lab. One of the stated aims of Processing is to act as a tool to get nonprogrammers started with programming, through the instant gratification of visual feedback. The
language builds on the Java language, but uses a simplified syntax and graphics programming
model.
