Basic Computer Operation

The five basic operations of a computer system are: 1. Inputting - Entering data into the computer system using input devices like a keyboard, mouse, or camera. 2. Processing - Executing instructions given by the user using the computer's processor. 3. Outputting - Displaying the results of processing the user's input using output devices. 4. Storing - Saving the output results in the computer's memory. 5. Controlling - Monitoring all the computer operations from input instruction to output result.

Basic Operations of Computer System

What is Computer Operations?


Have you ever wondered how your computer got its power?

Have you ever wanted to know what's happening inside your computer while it's running?

What about why certain key combinations make the computer do different things?

You may not know this, but computers are composed of thousands of little switches that work together.

Computers are made up of many different components that all work together to accomplish the tasks that the computer is
instructed to do.

Definition of Computer Operations


Simply put, computer operations mean whatever instruction you give to the computer system, then that computer system
executes your instruction.

The process of executing the instruction given by you is called computer operations.

There are various computer operations, which are defined in this post.
Basic Operations of Computer System

There are five basic operations of computer system, which are given below.

1.Inputting
2.Processing
3.Outputting
4.Storing
5.Controlling

1. Inputting

What is Inputting?
Simply put, inputting is a process by which a user enters any type of data into a
computer system.
Inputting is the first basic operations of computer system. Input devices are used
to provide information to the computer. For example, your mouse or keyboard
may be an input device.

You can also use the camera to take pictures or videos and then upload them to
your PC.
2. Processing

Processing is the second basic operations of a computer system. In simple language, the processing means, when the
computer system starts executing the instructions given by the user, then this process is called processing.
The processor is the component of a computer that does most of the "work" in terms of processing.

3. Outputting

Outputting is the third basic operations of computer. In simple


language, outputting means, the result of instruction given by a
user is called output.

Whatever input is given by the user computer, then the output


result of that input is outputting.
Input/output devices are responsible for the computer's interaction
with the physical world.

For instance, a keyboard or mouse are input/output devices.


4. Storing
Storing is the fourth basic operations of computer system. In
simple language, storing means, the output result that comes
after executing the instruction given by a user, and storing
that output result is called storing.
The CPU is responsible for storing data in your computer's
memory, which is where the data is stored when you type it
into a word document or open an image.

5. Controlling
Controlling is the fifth basic operations of computer. Controlling means the combinations of all computer operations.
Controlling is a type of process that monitors the instruction given by the user from the time it is executed to the
output result. This process itself is called controlling.

In simple language, monitoring means monitoring, which device is doing its work or not.
