Step 1: Identify the 5 fundamental functions of a computer system.
The 5 fundamental functions of a computer system are:
- Input: This is the process of receiving data and instructions from the outside world. Devices like keyboards, mice, and scanners are used for input.
- Processing: This is the manipulation of data according to instructions. The central processing unit (CPU) performs this function.
- Storage: This is the process of saving data and instructions for future use. This can be temporary (RAM) or permanent (hard drive, SSD).
- Output: This is the process of displaying or transmitting the results of processing to the outside world. Devices like monitors, printers, and speakers are used for output.
- Control: This function manages and coordinates all other functions, ensuring that operations are performed in the correct sequence and according to the system's design. The CPU also plays a role in control.
