20 The computer is an electronic machine. It is a machine that solves problems as much as you do. As an example, let s trace the way you would add two numbers. Then, let s see how a computer would do it.
Step1. You collect information. That is, you either see or hear the numbers to be added.

Step 3 You bring together the information , and the method

All computers go through five similar steps.
Step 1 The computer receives information, or data, from the outside. It changes the data into electric language, called input.
Step 2 The computer has been given a program contain instructions for solving the problem. The instructions ate found in the storage or memory.
Step 3 The computer bring together the data from the input and the instructions from the storage. This is done by the computer s control.
Step 4 The computer goes through the steps of the instructions on the data; this is called processing.
Step 5 The computer changes the result from electric language to human language. It presents the results in print or sound, called output.
Sometimes the five parts of a computer input, storage, control, processor , and output are together in one large unit. Other times they are far apart and connected by wires. Often, large computers have one control and processing unit, with a number of separate memory, input, and output device.
