Today’s world is an information-rich world and it has become a necessity for everyone to know about computers. A computer is an electronic data
processing device, which accepts and stores data input, processes the data input, and generates the output in a required form at.
To know about the working of a computer, first need to understand various terms such as Data, Processing and Information. First of all, lets start
with basic terms:-
1. Data : Data is a collection of basic facts and figure without any sequence. This data is also called as raw data. When the da ta is collected as
facts and figures, there is no meaning to it, at that time, for example, name of people, names of employees etc.
2. Processing : Processing is the set of instructions given by the user to the related data that was collected earlier to outp ut meaningful
information. The computer does the required processing by making the necessary calculations, comparisons and decisions.
3. Information : Information is the end point or the final output of any processed work. This meaningful output data is called information.
4. Program: The set of instructions given to the computer to perform various operations is called as the computer program.
COMPONANTS OF COMPUTER
All types of computers follow the same basic logical structure and perform the following five basic operations for converting raw input data into
information useful to their users.
Input Unit- This unit contains devices with the help of which we enter data into the computer. This unit creates a link between the user and the
computer. The input devices translate the information into a form understandable by the computer.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)- CPU is considered as the brain of the computer. CPU performs all types of data processing operations. It stores
data, intermediate results, and instructions (program). It controls the operation of all parts of the computer.
CPU itself has the following three components:
 ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)- This unit consists of two subsections namely,
1. Arithmetic Section
2. Logic Section

Arithmetic Section- Function of arithmetic section is to perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. All
complex operations are done by making repetitive use of the above operations.
Logic Section- Function of logic section is to perform logic operations such as comparing, selecting, matching, and merging of data.
 Memory Unit- This unit can store instructions, data, and intermediate results. This unit supplies information to other units of the
computer when needed. It is also known as internal storage unit or the main memory or the primary storage or Random Access Memory
(RAM). Its size affects speed, power, and capability. Primary memory and secondary memory are two types of memories in the
computer. Functions of the memory unit are −
 It stores all the data and the instructions required for processing.
 It stores intermediate results of processing.
 It stores the final results of processing before these results are released to an output device.
 All inputs and outputs are transmitted through the main memory.
 Control Unit- This unit controls the operations of all parts of the computer but does not carry out any actual data processing operations.
Functions of this unit are −
 It is responsible for controlling the transfer of data and instructions among other units of a computer.
 It manages and coordinates all the units of the computer.
 It obtains the instructions from the memory, interprets them, and directs the operation of the computer.
 It communicates with Input/output devices for transfer of data or results from storage.
 It does not process or store data.
Output Unit- The output unit consists of devices with the help of which we get the information from the computer. This unit is a link betw een the
computer and the users. Output devices translate the computer's output into a form understandable by the users.

EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER
ABACUS- The abacus is one of the earliest known computation devices. It is a tool that helped in calculating answers of arithmetic problems. It is
simply a wooden rack holding arallel wires on which beads are strung. Calculations are done by manipulating the beads. The abacus wa s
developed in China about 5000 years ago. The abacus was so successful that its use spread from China to many other countries.
Pascal’s calculator called ‘Pascaline’- In the year 1642, Blaise Pascal a French scientist invented an adding machine called Pascal’s calculator.
Though these machines were early forerunners to computer engineering, the calculator failed to be a great commercial success.
Analytical engine or difference engine- Charles Babbage a British mathematician at Cambridge University invented the first analytical engine or
difference engine. This machine could be programmed by instructions coded on punch cards and had mechanical memory to store the results. For
his contributions in this field Charles Babbage is known as ‘the father of modern digital computer.
ENIAC (Electronic Numeric Integrator and Calculator) –In 1944 John Mauchley and J. Presper proposed an electronic digital computer called
ENIAC, and completed it in 1946 which is regarded as first successful general digital computer.
EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) – In the mid 1940’s Dr. John von Neumann designed the Electronic Discrete Variable
Automatic Computer with a memory to store both program and data. This was the first machine which used the stored program concept. It had
five distinct units - arithmetic, central control, memory, input and output. The key element was the central control. All the functions of the
computer were co-ordinate through this single source, the central control. The programming of the compute rs was done in machine language.
UNIVAC 1 – Remington Rand designed this computer specifically for business data processing applications. The Universal Automatic Computer
was the first general purpose commercially available computer, was developed by a team of engineers led by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly,
makers of ENIAC
EDSAC( Electronic delay storage automatic computer)- Ist computer capable of storing instructions and data in memory. The "father" of British
computing, Sir Maurice Wilkes, has died at the age of 97. Sir Maurice was the designer and creator of Edsac, a computer that ran its first program
in May 1949.

INPUT DEVICES- An input device is a piece of hardware used to provide data to a computer used for interaction and control. It allows input of raw
data to the computer for processing.
Here’s a list of some input devices used in computers and other computing devices:
KEYBOARD- A keyboard is a typewriter-style device, which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic
switches. Most of the commonly available personal computers have a keyboard, popularly known as Qwerty . Keyboards are of two sizes 84 keys
or 101/102 keys, but now keyboards with 104 keys or 108 keys are also available for Windows and Internet.
Types of keyboards: There can be different types of keyboards based on the region and language used. Some of the common types of keyboards
are as follows:
i) QWERTY Keyboard: It is the most commonly used keyboard with computers in modern times. It is named after the first six letters of the top row
of buttons and is even popular in countries that do not use Latin-based alphabet. It is so popular that some people think that it is the only type of
keyboard to use with computers as an input device.
ii) AZERTY Keyboard: It is considered the standard French keyboard. It is developed in France as an alternative layout to the QWERTY layout and
is mainly used in France and other European countries. Some countries have manufactured their own versions of AZERTY.
iii) DVORAK Keyboard: This type of keyboard layout was developed to increase the typing speed by reducing the finger movement while typing.
The most frequently used letters are kept in a home row to improve typing.
TYPES OF KEYS ON KEYBOARD
Typing (alphanumeric) keys- These keys include the same letter, number, punctuation, and symbol keys found on a traditional typewriter.i.e; A -
Z.0-9.

Modifier / Combination keys-A Modifier key is a special key (or combination) on a computer keyboard that temporarily modifies the normal acti on
of another key when pressed together. By themselves, modifier keys usually do nothing; that is, pressing any of the Shift, Al t, or Ctrl keys alone
does not (generally) trigger any action from the computer.
Function keys- The function keys are used to perform specific tasks. They are labeled as F1, F2, F3, and so on, up to F12. The functionality of these
keys differs from program to program.
Toggle keys- 'Caps lock' and 'Num lock' keys are called as Toggle Keys because when pressed, they change their status from one state to another
Control keys- These keys provide cursor and screen control. It includes four directional arrow keys. Control keys also include Home, End, I nsert,
Delete, Page Up, Page Down, Control(Ctrl), Alternate(Alt), Escape(Esc).
Special Purpose Keys- Keyboard also contains some special purpose keys such as Enter, Shift, Caps Lock, Num Lock, Space bar, Tab, and Print
Screen.
 Windows key is a four pane key that helps you open any program and applications
 ESC Key is used to interrupt or cancel the current process
 F1 through F12 Keys are the function keys that has various uses

Pointing Devices:
An input device used to control a pointer on the screen is called a pointing device. A pointer is a small symbol that appears on the screen in a
graphical user interface. Different shapes of a pointer are available.
1. Mouse : Mouse is a cursor-control device . It is a pointing and drop device. It’s size is good enough to fit the palm. It has a palm size box
with a round ball at its base .It senses the movement of mouse and sends corresponding signals to CPU on pressing of th e buttons. There
are two buttons that provide the left click and the right click. A scroll bar is present in the mid .Mouse is only used to co ntrol the position
of cursor on screen. The first computer mouse was invented by DouglasEngelbart.
Different types of a mouse are as follows:
Mechanical mouse- Mechanical mouse encloses a rubber or metal ball in it. The movement of the cursor depends on the movement of the ball. This
mouse is normally used on a mouse pad. A mouse pad is a small pad made of rubber or foam to provide easy movement for the mouse. It also
protects the mouse from dust and dirt.

Optical Mouse-Optical mouse contains no ball inside it. It uses a device that emits light to detect the mouse movement. Optical sensor or l aser is
used in these types of mouse. Furthermore, It is more costly than a mechanical mouse.
Wireless Mouse-A wireless or cordless mouse is a type of mouse that does not require a wire to work. It transmits data using wireless techno logy
like radio waves or infrared light waves.
The five action that you can perform with a mouse are the
 POINTING- To locate any object on screen.

 CLICKING- To select an item on screen.
 DOUBLE CLICKING- To open a program or document.
 RIGHT CLICKING- Displays list of commands on screen.
 DRAGGING- To move an item on the screen.
2. Trackball- A trackball can also be used as an alternative to a mouse. This device also has buttons similar to those on a mouse. It holds a
large moving ball on the top. The body of the trackball is not moved. The ball is rolled with fingers. The position of the cursor on the
screen is controlled by rotating the ball.
The main benefit of the trackball over a mouse is that it takes less space to move. The trackball is often included in laptop computers. The
standard desktop computer also uses a trackball operated as a separate input device. It is used in CAD, CAM, workstations, Large trackballs
are sometimes seen on computerized special-purpose workstations, such as the radar consoles in an air traffic control room, or sonar
equipment on a ship or submarine.
3. Touchpad/ Trackpad- A touchpad is a small, plane surface over which the user moves his finger. The user controls the movement of the
cursor on the screen by moving his fingers on the touchpad. It is also known as a trackpad.
A touchpad also has one or more buttons near it. These button work like mouse buttons. Touchpads are commonly used with note book
computers.
4. Graphics Tablet- A graphics tablet consists of a flat pad on which the user draws with a special pen called a stylus. The image is created
on the screen as the user draws on the pad. A designer can produce very accurate drawings using a graphics tablet. It is also called a
digitizer.
5. Touch screen- The touch screen is a video display screen that receives input from the touch of a finger. The screen is covered with a
plastic layer. There are undetectable beams of infrared light at the back of the screen. In order to enter data, the user touches icons or
menus on the screen. Most touch screen computer use sensors to detect the touch of a finger.

6. Light Pen- A light pen is a hand-held pen-like device. It is light- sensitive stylus. Light pen is connected by a wire to the computer. It has a
device at the tip that emits light. The pen sends information to the computer when a user touches the pen on certain areas of a specially
designed screen. A light pen I usually used by engineers, graphics designers and illustrators.
A light pen detects changes in brightness of nearby screen pixels when scanned by cathode-ray tube electron beam and communicates the timing
of this event to the computer. Since a CRT scans the entire screen one pixel at a time, the computer can keep track of th e expected time of
scanning various locations on screen by the beam and infer the pen's position from the latest timestamp.
7. Joystick- A joystick consists of a base and a stick. The stick can be moved in several directions to shift an object anywhere on the
computer screen. A joystick can perform a similar function to a mouse or trackball. It is often considered less comfortable a nd efficient.
The most common use of a joystick is for playing computer games.
A joystick, also known as the control column, is the principal control device in the cockpit of many civilian and military aircraft, either as a
centre stick or side-stick. It often has supplementary switches to control various aspects of the aircraft's flight.
Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer. A
popular variation of the joystick used on modern video game consoles is the analog stick. Joysticks are also used for control ling machines
such as cranes, trucks, underwater unmanned vehicles, wheelchairs, surveillance cameras, and zero turning radius lawn mowers. Miniature
finger-operated joysticks have been adopted as input devices for smaller electronic equipment such as mobile phones.
8. Stylus- The stylus is similar to a ballpoint pen. It uses pressure to write text and draw lines. It was also called a pen. A stylus is used in
graphical applications. Architects, artists, and designers use it to create drawings and sketches.
Scanner: Scanner is an input device, which works on a similar principle of a photocopy machine. It is used when some information is available on a
paper and it is to be transferred to the hard disc of the computer for further manipulation.
Scanner captures images from the source which are then converted into the digital form that can be stored on the disc. These images can be
edited before they are printed.
The most common types of scanners are-
1. Hand-held Scanners - They are very small which can be held in a hand. These are less expensive and less wide. Hence, in order to scan a single
page image, multiple passes are required. But their handiness is a major advantage of handheld scanner.
2. Flatbed Scanners- They are large and more expensive scanners that creates higher quality images. These scanners have a flat surface on
which the printed image to be scanned, is placed. (Similar to the way a page is placed on a photocopier). Flatbed scanners ca n scan a page in a
single pass.
3. Drum Scanners- They are are medium-size scanners with a rolling drum. The sheet is fed through the scanners so that the drum rolls over the
entire sheer to be scanned (Just as the sheets are fed in a fax machine).
Magnetic Ink Card Reader (MICR) : We see in banks, libraries etc using MICR as an input device . As large number of cheques are processed
everyday MICR serves a very useful purpose. A special type of ink that contains particles of magnetic material that is machin e readable, is used to
read the code number and cheque number that are printed on the cheques in banks. This reading process is called Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR). The main advantage of MICR is that it is highly accurate and fast in reading.

MICR reads the characters by examining their shapes in a matrix form and the information is then passed `on to the computer.
OMR (Optical Mark Recognition): Optical mark recognition (also called optical mark reading and OMR) is the process of capturing human-marked
data from document forms such as surveys and test. It uses a beam of light that is reflected on the paper with marks, to capture p resence and
absence of marks. They are used to read questionnaires, multiple choice examination paper in the form of lines or shade d areas.
Optical Character Reader (OCR) : OCR is an input device that is used to read a printed text. The role of OCR is to scan the text optically character
by character by converting them into a machine readable code and store the text on the system. The OCR is used for the preparation of electricity
bills, insurance premium, telephone bills.
It is used to scan the document containing text. It is the mechanical or electronic conversion of scanned or photographed ima ges of typewritten
or printed text into machine encoded/computer-readable text.
SCR (Smart Card Readers): A small electronic device about the size of a credit card that contains electronic memory, and possibly an embedded
integrated circuit (IC). Smart cards containing an IC are sometimes called Integrated Circuit Cards (ICCs).
Smart cards are used for a variety of purposes, including:
– Storing a patient’s medical records

– Storing digital cash
– Generating network IDs (similar to a token)
To use a smart card, either to pull information from it or add data to it, you need a smart card reader, a small device into which you insert the smart
card.
Bar Code Readers : Bar Code Reader is a device used for reading bar coded data (data in form of light and dark lines). Bar coded data is gener ally
used in labeling goods, numbering the books, etc .Bar Code Reader scans a bar code image by converting it into an alphanumeric values . This
value is then fed to the computer to which bar code reader is connected.
 A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed in 1994 for
the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is
attached. In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application. A QR code
uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to store data efficiently; extensions m ay also be
used.
Biometrics- A biometric device is a security identification and authentication device. Such devices use automated methods of verifying or
recognizing the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. These characteristi cs include fingerprints, facial
images, and iris and voice recognition.
Microphone : A microphone, is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound in air into an electrical signal. Microphones are
used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture
production, live and recorded audio engineering, two-way radios, megaphones, radio and television broadcasting, and in computers for recording
voice, speech recognition, VoIP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic checking or knock sensors.
Webcam : A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to or through a computer to computer network. When
“captured” by the computer, the video stream may be saved, viewed or sent on to other networks via systems such as the internet, and email as an
attachment. When sent to a remote location, the video stream may be saved, viewed or on sent there. Unlike an IP camera (whic h connects using
Ethernet or Wi-Fi), a webcam is generally connected by a USB cable, or similar cable, or built into computer hardware, such as laptops.
OUTPUT DEVICES
An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment which converts information into human-readable form. It can be text, graphics,
tactile, audio, and video.

Following are some of the important output devices used in a computer.
 Monitors
 Graphic Plotter
 Printer
 Speaker.
Monitors
Monitors, commonly called as Visual Display Unit (VDU), are the main output device of a computer. It forms images from tiny dots, called pixels
that are arranged in a rectangular form. The sharpness of the image depends upon the number of pixels.
It can either be a monochrome display or a color display. The number of pixels displayed on a screen is known as Resolution.
Dot pitch (sometimes called line pitch, stripe pitch, or phosphor pitch) is a specification for a computer display, computer printer, i mage scanner,
or other pixel-based device that describes the distance, for example, between dots (sub-pixels) on a display screen. In the case of an RGB color
display, the derived unit of pixel pitch is a measure of the size of a triad plus the distance between triads.
The refresh rate (or "vertical refresh rate", "vertical scan rate", terminology originating with the cathode ray tubes) is the the frequency with
which the image on a computer monitor or similar electronic display screen is refreshed, usually expressed in hertz. This is independent from
frame rate, which describes how many images are stored or generated every second by the device driving the display.
On cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, higher refresh rates produce less flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. In other techn ologies such as
liquid-crystal displays, the refresh rate affects only how often the image can potentially be updated.
RESOLUTION- The number of pixels arranged horizontally by the number of pixels arranged vertically is the resolution of the display. This means
that the number of pixels inside the display, the better will be the picture quality and the clearer the picture displayed would be.
Some of the common display resolutions found on the displays are as follows-
 2560 x 1440 (1440p)

 1920 x 1080 (FHD or Full HD or 1080p)
 1600 x 900
 1024 x 768
 1280 x 720 (HD or 720p)
There are two kinds of viewing screen used for monitors.
 Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)

 Flat-Panel Display
 CRT is the technology used in traditional computer monitors and televisions. The image on a CRT display is created by firing elec trons
from the back of the tube to phosphors . ( the screen is covered with a fine line of phosphoric elements called phosphors) located
towards the front of the display. Once the electrons hit the phosphors, they light up and are projected on the screen. The co lor you see
on the screen is produced by a blend of red, blue, and green light, often referred to as RGB
The CRT display is made up of small picture elements called pixels. The smaller the pixels, the better the image clarity or resolution. It
takes more than one illuminated pixel to form a whole character.
There are some disadvantages of CRT −
 Large in Size
 High power consumption
‘VDT (video display terminal) and VDU (video display unit) are alternative names for monitors.’
 Flat-Panel Display Monitor : These flat panel displays overcome the disadvantages of CRT as they have reduced volume, weight and
power requirement compared to the CRT. They come in different shapes and size. You can hang them on walls or wear them on you r
wrists. They are used in all modern day calculators, video games, monitors, laptop computer, graphics display etc as displays.
The flat-panel display are of two main types :
Non-Emissive Displays : The Non-emissive displays use optical effects to convert sunlight or light from some other source into graphics patterns.
Example is LCD (Liquid-Crystal Device)
 Liquid Crystal Devices (LCD) monitors– It is a flat panel display that uses the light- modulating properties of liquid crystals. It is used in
LCD televisions, aircraft cockpit displays, etc. It is thin, light-weight screen made up of any number of colour or monochrome pixels
arranged in front of a light source.

It is more energy-efficient, as it does not use phosphorous and can be disposed of more safely than the CRT monitors.
A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology to improve
image qualities such as addressability and contrast. A TFT LCD is an active matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-
driven[clarification needed] LCDs with a few segments.
Emissive Displays : The emissive displays convert electrical energy into light. Example are plasma panel and LED (Light-Emitting Diodes).
TFT LCDs are used in appliances including television sets, computer monitors, mobile phones, handheld devices, video game sys tems, personal digital

and car is an improved version of the LCD monitor. The technology used in both the monitors is the same
except the backlighting.
The LED monitors are lighter, thinner, and less expensive. These monitors are more reliable as they have a more broad dimming range.
 Plasma monitors- It is a monitor in which each pixel on the screen is illuminated by a tiny bit of charges gas or plasma similar to a tiny
neon light. These monitors are thinner than Cathode ray tube monitors and brighter than liquid crystal display monitors.
Printers : Printer is among the most common output device, which is used to print information on paper. The printed form of output is referred as
Hard Copy. The form of output displayed on the screen is referred as Soft Copy.
 The speed of the printer is measured in Pages per Minute (PPM), Characters per second (CPS), Lines per minute (LPM). The faster the
printing, the more expensive the printer.
 Printer Resolution is easured in dots Per inch (DPI).
On the basis of technology, printers are categorized into
Impact and Non- Impact Printers.
Impact printers create an image by using some mechanism to physically press an inked ribbon against the page, causing the ink to be deposited
on the page in the shape desired.
I) Dot matrix :- They are the most popular printers because of their ease of printing features. They come at a low cost. The dot-matrix printer uses
print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce patterns of dots on the paper to form the individual characters. Each character is
printed in the form of pattern of Dot’s and head
II)Daisy wheel Printer :- These are known as daisy wheel printers as the head lies on the wheel and Pins correspond to characters like petals of
Daisy flower. A hammer strikes a “petal” containing a character against the ribbon, and the character prints on the paper. It s speed is slow
typically 25-55 characters per second. These printers are used for word-processing in offices and offer very nice quality representation.
Advantages
 More reliable than DMP

 Better quality
 Fonts of character can be easily changed
Disadvantages
 Slower than DMP

 Noisy
 More expensive than DMP
III) Line printer:-Line printers, or line-at-a-time printers, use special mechanism that can print a whole line at once; they can typically print the
range of 1,200 to 6,000 lines per minute. Speed of line printers is limited by the speed of paper movements.
IV) Drum printer:- A drum printer consists of a solid, cylindrical drum that has raised characters in bands on its surface. The number of print
positions across the drum equals the number available on the page. This printer looks like a drum in shape that’s why it is called a drum printer.
The Drum surface has a number of tracks. Total tracks are equal to size of paper, i.e., for a paper width of 132 characters, Drum will have 132
tracks. A character set is embossed on track. The different character sets available in market are 48 character set, 64 and 96 characters set. One
rotation of drum leads to printing of one line. These printers print between 300 to 2000 lines per minute. Hence they have a very high speed.
V) Chain printer:- A chain printer uses a chain of print characters wrapped around two pulleys. In this printer because chain of character sets are
used hence they are called as Chain Printers. A standard character set may have 48, 64, 96 characters.
15 JK EXAM CRACKER

Non – Impact Printers do not touch the paper when creating an image.
I) Ink-jet printers:- Ink-jet printers are new technology non-impact character printers. They print characters via spraying small drops of ink onto
paper. Ink-jet printers produce very high quality output with presentable features. They are noiseless printers and have many sty les of printing
modes available. These are also called as the coloured printers. Models of Ink-jet printers can produce multiple copies of printing also. One or
more nozzles in the print head emit a steady stream of ink drops. Droplets of ink are electrically charged after leaving the nozzle. The droplets are
then guided to the paper by electrically charged deflecting plates.
Advantages
 High quality printing

 More reliable
Disadvantages
 Expensive as the cost per page is high

 Slow as compared to laser printer
II) Laser printers:- They use laser lights to produce the dots needed to form the characters to be printed on a page. When a whole page is loaded,
it will be printed.
Advantages
 Very high speed

 Very high quality output
 Good graphics quality
 Supports many fonts and different character size
Disadvantages
 Expensive
 Cannot be used to produce multiple copies of a document in a single printing
III)Thermal printer:- is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermo chromic paper, or thermal
paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head.
Thermal printers are used most commonly to create labels, safety signs, wayfinding markers, barcodes, shipping labels, and ot her heavily-used
items.
Plotters- A plotter is a computer hardware device much like a printer that is used for printing vector graphics. Instead of toner, plot ters use a pen,
pencil, marker, or another writing tool to draw multiple, continuous lines onto paper rather than a series of dots like a traditional printer. Though
once widely used for computer-aided design, these devices have more or less been phased out by wide-format printers. Plotters produce a hard
copy of schematics and other similar applications.
Advantages of plotters
 Plotters can work on very large sheets of paper while maintaining high resolution.
 They can print on a wide variety of flat materials including plywood, aluminum, sheet steel, cardboard, and plastic.
 Plotters allow the same pattern to be drawn thousands of times without any image degradation.
Disadvantages of plotters
 Plotters are quite large compared to a traditional printer.

 Plotters are also much more expensive than a traditional printer.
The first plotter was invented in 1953 by Remington-Rand. It was used in conjunction with the UNIVAC computer to created technical drawings.
Speaker : A hardware device connected to a computer’s sound card that outputs sounds generated by the computer. It needs a sound card
connected to a CPU, that generates sound via a card. These are used for listening music, for being audible in seminars etc.

Projector : A projector is an output device that can take images generated by a computer and reproduce them on a large, flat (usually l ightly
colored) surface. For example, projectors are used in meetings to help ensure that all participants can view the information being prese nted.
COMPUTER PROCESSING DEVICES
Processing is the core function of any computer. When a computer receives data from an input device, this data must first go through an
intermediate stage before it is sent to an output device. Processing is the intermediate stage where raw data is transformed into information so
that it can be outputted meaningfully for the user. An example of a processing device is the central processing unit (CPU), which is a set of
electronic circuitry that processes and executes instructions.
 CPU (CENTRAL PRECESSING UNIT)

Think of a computer as a human body with the CPU being the brain, controlling everything the computer does. The CPU is the part of a
computer responsible for receiving and carrying out computer instructions. It does this by making use of millions (or even bi llions) of
transistors, which can each be switched on or off individually. The computer system ‘s principal and the most critical computing device is
the central processing unit.
‘It is also called the computer’s heart and brain because it carries out a computer program ‘s instructions, as well as all c omputer
functions.’
A computer can’t perform any of the operations without a CPU. A CPU is fabricated as a single integrated chip as is also known as
Microprocessor.
 The speed of a CPU is measured in gigahertz (GHz), which shows how many instructions can be performed in one second. One GHz is equal to a
100 million hertz.(Gigahertz refers to the CPU frequency , As a general guideline; the higher the frequency, the better the CPU.)
 Number of cores: As with the processor speed, generally more cores are better.
 The CPU was first developed during the 1970s at Intel, with the first processor, the 4004 processor, released.
The microprocessor is subdivided into three important units, which work together in order to accomplish its function. The uni ts are:
o The control unit: It manages and supervises the operations of the processor and other components that are crucial in data manipulation.
o Arithmetic and logic unit: The ALU is responsible for all arithmetic and logic operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, and
comparison logic operations.
o Memory Unit: These are storage locations inside the processor that respond to the instructions of the control unit by moving relevant data
around during processing.
Instruction cycle
The instruction cycle (also known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle, or simply the fetch-execute cycle) is the cycle that the central processing
unit (CPU) follows from boot-up until the computer has shut down in order to process instructions.
In a basic computer, each instruction cycle consists of the following phases:
o Fetch instruction from memory.

o Decode the instruction.
o Read the effective address from memory.
o Execute the instruction.
 MOTHERBOARD
Alternatively referred to as the mb, mainboard, mboard, mobo, mobd, backplane board, base board, main ci rcuit board, planar board,
system board, or a logic board on Apple computers. The motherboard is a printed circuit board and foundation of a computer th at is the
biggest board in a computer chassis.
The functions of a computer motherboard are as follows:
o The motherboard acts as the central backbone of a computer on which other modular parts are installed such as the CPU, RAM an d hard
disks.
o The motherboard also acts as the platform on which various expansion slots are available to install other devices / interfaces.
o The motherboard is also responsible to distribute power to the various components of the computer.
17 JK EXAM CRACKER

o They are also used in the coordination of the various devices in the computer and maintain an interface among them.
o It allocates power and allows communication to and between the CPU, RAM, and all other computer hardware components.
Computer - Memory
A memory is just like a human brain. It is used to store data and instructions. Computer memory is the storage space in the c omputer, where data
is to be processed and instructions required for processing are stored. The memory is divided into large number of small part s called cells. Each
location or cell has a unique address, which varies from zero to memory size minus one. For example, if the computer has 64k words, then this
memory unit has 64 * 1024 = 65536 memory locations. The address of these locations varies from 0 to 65535.
Memory is primarily of two types −
o Cache Memory
o Primary Memory/Main Memory
o Secondary Memory
1. Primary Memory (Main Memory)
Primary memory holds only those data and instructions on which the computer is currently working. It has a limited capacity a nd data is lost when
power is switched off. It is generally made up of semiconductor device. These memories are not as fast as registers. The data and instruction
required to be processed resides in the main memory. It is divided into two subcategories RAM and ROM.
Characteristics of Main Memory
o These are semiconductor memories.

o It is known as the main memory.
o Usually volatile memory.
o Data is lost in case power is switched off.
o It is the working memory of the computer.
o Faster than secondary memories.
o A computer cannot run without the primary memory.
Types of primary Memory-
1) RAM 2) ROM
 RAM (Random Access Memory) is the internal memory of the CPU for storing data, program, and program result. It is a read/write
memory which stores data until the machine is working. As soon as the machine is switched off, data is erased.
Access time in RAM is independent of the address, that is, each storage location inside the memory is as easy to reach as other locations and
takes the same amount of time. Data in the RAM can be accessed randomly but it is very expensive.
RAM is volatile, i.e. data stored in it is lost when we switch off the computer or if there is a power failure. Hence, a backup Uninterruptible Power
System (UPS) is often used with computers. RAM is small, both in terms of its physical size and in the amount of data it can hold.
RAM is of two types −
o Static RAM (SRAM)

o Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
Static RAM (SRAM)- The word static indicates that the memory retains its contents as long as power is being supplied. However, data is lost when
the power gets down due to volatile nature. SRAM chips use a matrix of 6-transistors and no capacitors. Transistors do not require power to
prevent leakage, so SRAM need not be refreshed on a regular basis.
There is extra space in the matrix, hence SRAM uses more chips than DRAM for the same amount of storage space, making the man ufacturing
costs higher. SRAM is thus used as cache memory and has very fast access.
Characteristic of Static RAM
o Long life
o No need to refresh
o Faster
o Used as cache memory
o Large size
o Expensive
o High power consumption
Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
DRAM, unlike SRAM, must be continually refreshed in order to maintain the data. This is done by placing the memory on a refresh circuit that
rewrites the data several hundred times per second. DRAM is used for most system memory as it is cheap and small. All DRAMs a re made up of
memory cells, which are composed of one capacitor and one transistor.
Characteristics of Dynamic RAM
o Short data lifetime

o Needs to be refreshed continuously
18 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
o Slower as compared to SRAM
o Used as RAM
o Smaller in size
o Less expensive
o Less power consumption
ROM stands for Read Only Memory. - The memory from which we can only read but cannot write on it. This type of memory is non-volatile. The
information is stored permanently in such memories during manufacture. A ROM stores such instructions that are required to st art a computer.
This operation is referred to as bootstrap. ROM chips are not only used in the computer but also in other electronic items li ke washing machine
and microwave oven.
o PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory)
PROM is read-only memory that can be modified only once by a user. The user buys a blank PROM and enters the desired contents using a PROM
program. Inside the PROM chip, there are small fuses which are burnt open during programming. It can be programmed only once and is not
erasable.
o EPROM (Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory)
EPROM can be erased by exposing it to ultra-violet light for a duration of up to 40 minutes. Usually, an EPROM eraser achieves this function.
During programming, an electrical charge is trapped in an insulated gate region. The charge is retained for more than 10 years because the
charge has no leakage path. For erasing this charge, ultra-violet light is passed through a quartz crystal window (lid). This exposure to ultra-violet
light dissipates the charge. During normal use, the quartz lid is sealed with a sticker.
o EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory)
EEPROM is programmed and erased electrically. It can be erased and reprogrammed about ten thousand times. Both erasing and pr ogramming
take about 4 to 10 ms (millisecond). In EEPROM, any location can be selectively erased and programmed. EEPROMs can be erased one byte at a
time, rather than erasing the entire chip. Hence, the process of reprogramming is flexible but slow.
Advantages of ROM
o Non-volatile in nature
o Cannot be accidentally changed
o Cheaper than RAMs
o Easy to test
o More reliable than RAMs
o Static and do not require refreshing
o Contents are always known and can be verified
o Flash memory is a type of erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) that clears and rewrites data in chunks for fast, energy-efficient access and rewriting. Flash
memory, or flash storage, is non-volatile, which means it remains viable even without an active power source
o A buffer contains data that is stored for a short amount of time, typically in the computer's memory (RAM). The purpose of a buffer is to hold data right before
it is used.
o Virtual memory is a feature of an operating system that enables a computer to be able to compensate shortages of physical memory by transfer ring pages of
data from random access memory to disk storage. This process is done temporarily and is designed to work as a combination of RAM and space on the hard
disk. This means that when RAM runs low, virtual memory can move data from it to a space called a paging file. This process allows for RAM to be freed up so
that a computer can complete the task
Secondary Memory
This type of memory is also known as external memory or non-volatile. It is slower than the main memory. These are used for storing
data/information permanently. CPU directly does not access these memories, instead they are accessed via input -output routines. The contents of
secondary memories are first transferred to the main memory, and then the CPU can access it. For example, disk, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.
Characteristics of Secondary Memory
o These are magnetic and optical memories.

o It is known as the backup memory.
o It is a non-volatile memory.
o Data is permanently stored even if power is switched off.
o It is used for storage of data in a computer.
o Computer may run without the secondary memory.
o Slower than primary memories.
STORAGE DEVICES/MEDIA
Magnetic tape - Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic recording, made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic fil m. It
was developed in Germany in 1928, based on magnetic wire recording. Devices that record and playback audio and video using ma gnetic tape are
tape recorders and video tape recorders respectively. A device that stores computer data on magnetic tape is known as a tape drive.
Magnetic Disk- Magnetic Disk devices are-
1) Hard Disk:
19 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
It is a rigid magnetic disc that is used to store data. It permanently stores data and is located within a drive unit.
The hard disk is also known as a hard drive. It is a rigid magnetic disc that stores data permanently, as it is a non-volatile storage device. The hard
disk is located within a drive unit on the computer's motherboard and comprises one or more platters packed in an air-sealed casing. The data is
written on the platters by moving a magnetic head over the platters as they spin. The data stored on a computer's hard drive generally includes
the operating system, installed software, and the user's files and programs, including pictures, music, videos, text document s, etc.
Components of Hard Drive:
The main components of a hard drive include a head actuator, read/write actuator arm, read/write head, platter, and spindle. A circuit board,
which is called the disk controller or interface board, is present on the back of a hard drive. It allows the hard drive to communicate with the
computer.
2. Floppy Disk: Floppy disks are disks of plastic coated in magnetic material and enclosed in a hard plastic case. The read/write area is cov ered by
a sliding metal flap.
Although, they used to be very common, as they were a convenient way of transporting files from one computer to another, they not much used
anymore. Floppy disks are written to and read from, through the use of separate floppy disk drives. The floppy diskette was f irst created in 1967 by
IBM as an alternative to buying hard drives, which were extremely expensive at the time.
Floppy disks are less popular than they have been because :-
o They are easily damaged.

o Have a limited storage capacity in that they can only hold 1.44MB. Photos,
OPTICAL STORAGE
In the optical storage devices, all read and write activities are performed by light. All recording information stores at an optical disk. As per the
opinions of data scientist that compact space is most useful for huge data storage. Their big advantages are not more costly, light weight, and
easy to transport because it is removable device unlike hard drive.
In the optical storage devices, all data is saved like as patterns of dots which can be easily read with using of LIGHT. La ser Beam is used like as
“Light Source”. The data is read while bouncing laser beam on the surface of storage medium. Laser beam creates the all Dots while reading
process, but it is used with high power mode to mark the surface of storage medium, and make a dot. This entire process is also called the
“Burning” data onto Disc.
Types of Optical Storage Devices
CD-ROM- CD-ROM stands for “Compact Disc Read Only Memory”, and CD-ROM comes in the “Random Access” category’s devices. These types of
disc can capable to store almost 800 MB of digital data. These data can’t discard by mistaken.
DVD-ROM- DVD-ROM stands for “Digital Versatile Disc – Read Only Memory”, and it also comes in the “Random Access” category’s devices. DVD-
ROM discs can store data up to 4.7 GB, but Dual Layer DVD device’s storage capacity is double. These types of disc are used to store ultra quality
video.
Blue Ray- Blue Ray discs are totally replaced by DVDs, because these discs are capable to hold data up to 25 -50 GB, as well as double layer Blue
Rays discs can store double data. Due to high storage capacity, Blue Ray discs are used to store HD (High Definition) videos.
HD DVD- HD DVD stands for “High Density DVD”, and these devices are capable to store data up to 15 GB (Dual Layer HD DVDS have storage
capacity double). High-Density DVD discs are also used to hold HD Videos.
DVD-RAM- DVD-RAM stands for “DVD-Random Access Memory”, and it is able to Re-Write data. DVD-RAM are available in market like as floppy-
disc style case. These types of discs have storage capacity of data similar to DVD (up to 4.7 GB).
DVD-RAM devices are used in several Camcorders such as “Video Recording Cameras”, and it can be used for data back -up and archiving.
Recordable Optical Devices
There are two types of discs such as “CD-R and DVD-R” and “CD-RW and DVD-RW”.
CD-R & DVD-R- Full form of (CD-R & DVD-R) is “CD-Recordable and DVD Recordable”, and they are able to burn data on to them, but not easy to
delete data. Users can add any type of data, but they can’t discard added data or re-use fully disc.
CD-RW & DVD-RW- CD-RW & DVD-RW stands for “CD-Re Writable and DVD-Re Writable”, and they are capable to burn data similar (CD-R and
DVD-R) onto them. Users can also delete and Re-Used data.

 It is getting trouble while recycling.
Pen drive: Pen drive is a compact secondary storage device. It is also known as a USB flash drive, thumb drive or a jump drive. It conne cts to a
computer via a USB port. It is commonly used to store and transfer data between computers. For example, you can write a report using a
computer and then copy or transfer it in the pen drive. Later, you can connect this pen drive to a computer to see or edit yo ur report. You can also
store your important documents and pictures, music, videos in the pen drive and keep it at a safe place.
Pen drive does not have movable parts; it comprises an integrated circuit memory chip that stores the data. This chip is hous ed inside a plastic or
aluminium casing. The data storage capacity of the pen drive generally ranges from 2 GB to 128 GB. Furthermore, it is a plug and play device as
you don't need additional drives, software, or hardware to use it.
SD Card: SD Card stands for Secure Digital Card. It is most often used in portable and mobile devices such as smart phones and digital cameras.
You can remove it from your device and see the things stored in it using a computer with a card reader.
There are many memory chips inside the SD card that store the data; it does not have moving parts. SD cards are not created equal, so they may
differ from each other in terms of speed, physical sizes, and capacity. For example, standard SD cards, mini SD cards, and mi cro SD cards.
Cache Memory
Cache memory is a very high speed semiconductor memory which can speed up the CPU. It acts as a buffer between the CPU and the main
memory. It is used to hold those parts of data and program which are most frequently used by the CPU. The parts of data and p rograms are
transferred from the disk to cache memory by the operating system, from where the CPU can access them.
Advantages
1. Cache memory is faster than main memory.

2. It consumes less access time as compared to main memory.
3. It stores the program that can be executed within a short period of time.
4. It stores data for temporary use.
Disadvantages
1. Cache memory has limited capacity.

2. It is very expensive.
Registers- Register memory is the smallest and fastest memory in a computer. It is not a part of the main memory and is located in the CPU in the
form of registers, which are the smallest data holding elements. A register temporarily holds frequently used data, instructi ons, and memory
address that are to be used by CPU. They hold instructions that are currently processed by the CPU. All data is required to pass through registers
before it can be processed. So, they are used by CPU to process the data entered by the users.
Registers hold a small amount of data around 32 bits to 64 bits. The speed of a CPU depends on t he number and size (no. of bits) of registers that
are built into the CPU.
Types and Functions of Computer Registers:
 Data Register: It is a 16-bit register, which is used to store operands (variables) to be operated by the processor. It temporarily stores
data, which is being transmitted to or received from a peripheral device.
 Program Counter (PC): It holds the address of the memory location of the next instruction, which is to be fetched after the current
instruction is completed. So, it is used to maintain the path of execution of the different programs and thus executes the programs one by
one, when the previous instruction gets completed.
 Instructor Register: It is a 16-bit register. It stores the instruction which is fetched from the main memory. So, it is used to hold
instruction codes, which are to be executed. The Control Unit takes instruction from Instructor Register, then decodes and ex ecutes it.
 Accumulator Register: It is a 16-bit register, which is used to store the results produced by the system. For example, the results
generated by CPU after the processing are stored in the AC register.
 Address Register: It is a 12-bit register that stores the address of a memory location where instructions or data is stored in the memory.
 I/O Address Register: Its job is to specify the address of a particular I/O device.
 I/O Buffer Register: Its job is to exchange the data between an I/O module and the CPU.
Memory unit is the amount of data that can be stored in the storage unit. This storage capacity is exp ressed in terms of Bytes.

03- COMPUTER SOFTWARE
What is Software: Computer software, or only software, is a kind of program that enable a user to perform some specific task or used to operate a
computer. It directs all the peripheral devices on the computer system – what to do and how to perform a task. PC Software plays the role of
mediator between the user and computer hardware. Without software, a user can’t perform any task on a digital computer.
“A computer system can be divided into three components: the hardware, the software, and the users. Bare use of hardware i s not easy, so to
make it easy, software created. A software product development company is the one which develops software for the users.”
There are two types of software −
1. System Software
2. Application Software
System Software- The software that helps to activate the computer system and controls the system hardware and interacts with application
software. These software products comprise of programs which interact with the hardware at a very basic level. System softwar e serves as the
interface between the hardware and the end users.
VARIOUS SYSTEM SOFTWARE ARE-
1. Operating System (OS) : Software that helps to activate the computer system and provide common platform to operate the computer
system by the user is called OS. It is the first layer of software loaded into computer memory on the time of booting (Starts Up).
Operating System plays an important role in loading programs from disk into memory, displaying message, translating program and in outputting
the results. The main function of OS is to manage the disk access, files process etc. Other software is loaded on the environ ment of OS. Windows
Xp, Linux, MS-DOS etc are popular OS.
2. Device Drivers: System software helps to activate and recognize the computer hardware devices. To activate and recognize the
hardware devices computer system requires special software called device drivers. To work with all devices, we need this software. For
example to work with Modem, Printers we have to install their driver software then only these devices will work.
3. Languages Translator: Translator program is a computer program that converts then prog ramming instructions written in human
convenient form into machine codes. Computer are digital devices. It can work only on the digits which are 0 to 1. All types of commands,
data and instructions required to be converted into machine code which is the combination of 0's and 1's. Different types of programming
languages accept the data and instructions on natural language like English. But computer can not process such data and instr uctions
on natural language. So they should be translated into machine code. To convert such natural language. So they should be translated
into machine code.
Introduction to Computer Languages
‘Programming Language is a set of rules called syntax which user has to follow, to instruct the computer what operation are t o be performed.’
Computer language are classified into two categories:
1. Low-Level Languages
• Machine level languages
• Assembly languages
2. High-Level Languages
• General Purpose languages (Ex: BASIC, PASCAL, C)
• Specific purpose languages (Ex: COBOL, FORTAN, C++)
Machine Level Language
• Machine level language is the fundamental language of a computer.

• It is written using binary numbers i.e. 0’s and 1’s.
• A program written in the machine level language is called Machine code.
Assembly Level Language:
• Assembly level language is a low-level programming language that allows a user to write programs using letters, words and symbols
called mnemonics, instead of the binary digits used in machine level languages.
• A program written in the assembly level language is called Assembly code.
High-level Languages
• A language designed to make programming easier through the use of familiar English words and symbols.
• High-level languages used English like language, which are easier to learn and use.
25 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
• High-level languages are machine independent. Therefore, a program written for one
• computer can be executed on different computers with no or only slight modifications.
• Some of the high-level languages are C, C++, JAVA, FORTRAN, QBASIC, and PASCAL.
Assembler:
• Assembler is system software, which translates an assembly language program into its machine language.
• It recognizes the mnemonics used in the assembly level languages and substitutes the required machine code for each instructi on.
• Example: TASM (Turbo Assembler), MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler) etc.
Compilers:
• Compiler is system software that translates high-level language (source code) into the machine level language (machine/object
code).
• It reads the whole program and translates the entire program at once into a series of machine level language instructions.
• Once compiled, the program normally is saved automatically and can be executed directly.
• Examples: C, C++.
Interpreters:
• An Interpreter reads once a statement of a high-level language program at a time, translates it into machine level language, and
executes it immediately.
• It continues to read, translate and execute the statements one by one until it reaches the end of the program. Therefore, it is slower
than a compiler.
• The machine code produced by the interpreter is not saved and hence, to execute a statement again, it has to be interpreted again.
• Example: BASIC, PROLOG
Linker : A linker is system software that links (combines) smaller programs to form a single program. A source program written in hi gh-level
languages may contain a number of modules or segments. To execute properly the modules are to be linked so that execution of the program is
sequential. This operation is performed by software called as the linker.
Loader: A loader is system software that loads machine code of a program into the system memory and prepares these programs for execution.
Once an executable program is generated someone will have to load the program into the main memory of the computer so that it can be
executed. This operation is performed by software called as the loader.
4. Utility Software: System software that increases the performance of the computer system is utility software. It helps to maximize the
utilization of devices. Utilities are those helpful programs that assist the computer by performing helpful functions like ba cking up disk,
scanning/cleaning viruses etc. E.g. Scan disk, Virus Scanner, disk fragmentation etc.
Utility software is generally called as Application oriented ready-made system programs.
Functions of System Utility:
I. Disk Cleanup- Disk Cleanup is a function that comes with all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Disk Cleanup allows for you to scan your
entire hard drive to search for extra room by deleting any unneccessary files such as temporary files from the Internet and c ookies that are
downloaded when you visit webpages. You can find Disk Cleanup in Windows XP by going to the Start menu → All Programs → Accessories →
System Tools → Disk Cleanup.
II. Disk Defragmentation- Defragmentation is the process of locating the noncontiguous fragments of data into which a computer file may be
divided as it is stored on a hard disk, and rearranging the fragments and restoring them into fewer fragments or into the who le file.
III. System Restore- System Restore is a Windows utility that allows a user to restore their computer data to a specific former state (known as a
restore point), undoing changes made since that time. System Restore can be found by going to Start → All Programs → Accessories → System
Tools → System Restore
IV. Disk Compression- Disk compression is a type of function that allows for a program to search your hard drive and compress files, particularly
old or unused files. It also serves to free up space, which is the main function of disk compression software.
V. Antivirus- It is used to scan computer for viruses and prevent the computer system files from being corrupt.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software is a computer program that performs a specific function, be it educational, personal, or business. It is also known as an end-
user program or a productivity program.
Each of the computer application software programs is developed to assist you with a particular process that may be related t o creativity,
productivity, or better communication. It helps you in completing your tasks, be it jotting down notes, completing your online research, setting an
alarm, keeping an account log, and even playing games. Unlike system software, computer application software programs are spe cific in their
functionality and do the job that they are designed to do.
They are categorized as-
1. Presentation software: Presentation software enables you to put forth your thoughts and ideas with ease and with good clarity by using visual
information. It lets you display the information in the form of slides. You can make your slide more informative and more engrossing by adding text,
images, graphs, and videos. It has three components: Text editor to input and format text, Insert graphics, text, video, and multimedia files,
Slideshow to display the information
26 JK EXAM CRACKER

2. Web browsers: These software applications are used to browse the Internet enabling you to locate and retrieve data across the web. The most
popular ones are Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
3. Multimedia software: This lets you create or record images, and create audio or video files. This software is extensively used in animation,
graphics, image, and video editing. Popular examples are the VLC media player and Windows media player.
4. Education and reference software: This application software, also termed as academic software, is specifically designed to facilitate the
learning of a particular subject.
5. Graphics software: Graphics software allows you to edit or make changes in visual data or images. It comprises illustration and picture editor
software. Adobe Photoshop and PaintShop Pro are a few examples of graphics software.
6. Spreadsheet software: Spreadsheet software is used to perform calculations. In this software, data is stored in a table format. The intersecting
area, called cells, are separated to define fields such as text, date, time, and number. It allows users to provide formulas and functions to perform
calculations. Microsoft Excel is one good example of spreadsheet software.
7. Database software: Database software is used to create and manage a database. Also known as a DBMS (Database Management System), it
helps you organize your data. So, when you run an application, data is fetched from the database, modified, and is stored bac k in the database.
Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and IBM Db2 are some popular databases.
8. Word processing software: It is used to format and manipulate text, thus, creating memos, letters, faxes, and documents. Word processing
software is also used to format and beautify the text. It provides you a whole lot of features aside from thesaurus and synonyms and antonyms.
Along with Word Art features, the font option lets you change font color, effect, and style as per your choice. Grammar and s pell-check options are
also available to check for errors.
9. Simulation software: Simulation software is used in the fields of engineering, education, testing, and video games, etc. It is used where work on
the actual system is unacceptable, inaccessible, or maybe dangerous. It is a program that lets you study or observe an operation, or phenomenon
through simulation without actually doing that operation. The best examples of the simulation are in the field of robotics, f light systems, and
weather forecast, etc.
Apart from these, there are several others in the category of application software that serve specific purposes. However, application software can
also be classified based on their shareability and availability. Some such categories are:
10. Freeware: As the very name indicates, it is available free of cost. You can download it from the Internet and use it without any fee. However,
this software does not allow you to modify it or charge a fee for distributing it. Adobe Reader and Skype are good examples o f this software.
11. Shareware: This is distributed freely to the users on a trial basis, usually with a limited time offer. The users are expected to pay if they wan t to

04- OPERATING SYSTEM
What is an Operating System?
 A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and the computer hardware.
 An operating System is a collection of system programs that together control the operations of a computer system.
Some examples of operating systems are UNIX, Mach, MS-DOS, MS-Windows, Windows/NT, Chicago, OS/2, MacOS, VMS, MVS, and VM.
Operating system goals:
• Execute user programs and make solving user problems easier.

• Make the computer system convenient to use.
• Use the computer hardware in an efficient manner.
Computer System Components
1. Hardware – provides basic computing resources (CPU, memory, I/O devices).

2. Operating system – controls and coordinates the use of the hardware among the various application programs for the various users.
3. Applications programs – Define the ways in which the system resources are used to solve the computing problems of the users
(compilers, database systems, video games, business programs).
4. Users (people, machines, other computers).

Operating System Definitions
• Resource allocator – manages and allocates resources.

• Control program – controls the execution of user programs and operations of I/O devices .
• Kernel – The one program running at all times (all else being application programs).
Components of OS: OS has two parts. (1)Kernel.(2)Shell.
1. Kernel is an active part of an OS i.e., it is the part of OS running at all times. It is a programs which can interact with the hard ware. Ex:
Device driver, dll files, system files etc.
2. Shell is called as the command interpreter. It is a set of programs used to interact with the application programs. It is responsible for
execution of instructions given to OS (called commands).
Operating systems can be explored from two viewpoints: the user and the system.
1. User View: From the user’s point view, the OS is designed for one user to monopolize its resources, to maximize the work that the user is
performing and for ease of use.
2. System View: From the computer's point of view, an operating system is a control program that manages the execution of user programs
to prevent errors and improper use of the computer. It is concerned with the operation and control of I/O devices.
Functions of Operating System(OS): Device Management:
Main functions of the operating system are as follows: The activities of device management task handled by OS are:
 Memory Management  Open, close and write device drivers.

 Process Management  Communication, control and monitor the device
 Device Management drivers.Prof. K. Adisesha (Ph.D.)
 File Management
 Protection and Security File Management:
 User interface or Command interpreter.
The activities of file management task handled by OS are:
Memory Management:
 Create and delete both files and directories
The activities of memory management handled by OS are:  Provide access to files
 Allocate space for files
 Allocate memory  Keep back-up of files
 Free Memory  Secure files
 Re-allocate memory to a program when a used block is
freed Protection and Security:
 Keep track of memory usage.
 OS protects the resource of system.
Process Management:  User authentication, file attributes like read, write,
encryption and back-up of data are used by OS to provide

Different Operating Systems
1. MS-DOS:
MS-DOS which is short for Microsoft Disk Operating System is a non-graphical command line operating system developed for IBM compatible
computers with x86 microprocessor. The operating system used a command line interface for the user to input commands to navigate, open and
manipulate files on their computer.
2. Windows Operating System:
Windows is an operating system designed by Microsoft to be used on a standard x86 Intel and AMD processors. It provides an in terface, known as
a graphical user interface(GUI) which eliminates the need to memorize commands for the command line by using a mouse to navig ate through
menus, dialog boxes, buttons, tabs, and icons. The operating system was named windows since the programs are di splayed in the shape of a
29 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
square. This Windows operating system has been designed for both a novice user just using at home as well as for professional s who are into
development.
3. LINUX Operating System:
The Linux OS is an open source operating system project that is a freely distributed, cross-platform operating system developed based on UNIX.
This operating system is developed by Linus Torvalds. The name Linux comes from the Linux kernel. It is basically the system software on a
computer that allows apps and users to perform some specific task on the computer. The development of Linux operating system pioneered the
open source development and became the symbol of software collaboration.
4. Android Mobile Operating System:
Android is a Google’s Linux based operating system it is designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet
computers. The hardware which can be used to support android is based on three architectures namely ARM, Intel and MIPS desig n lets users
manipulate the mobile devices intuitively, with finger movements that mirror common motions, such as pinching, swiping, and tapping making
these applications comfortable for the users.
5. iOS Mobile Operating System:
iOS which is short for iPhone OS is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its hardware like A12 Bionic
chip that presently powers many of its mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The iOS user interface is based upon using multi-
touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. The purpose of these finger actions is to provide the user with fast responsive inputs
given from multiple fingers to the multi-touch capacitive screen display.
6. UNIX Operating System:
UNIX is an operating system which was first developed in the 1960s, and has been under constant development ever since. By operating system,
we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops.
UNIX systems also have a graphical user interface (GUI) similar to Microsoft Windows which provides an easy to use environmen t. However,
knowledge of UNIX is required for operations which aren't covered by a graphical program, or for when there is no windows interface available,
for example, in a telnet session.
Types of Operating System(OS):
The different types of operating system are:
1. Single User Operating System:

 This OS allows only one user to share the system resource including the CPU.
 These are mainly the operating system configured for the use of desktop PC and laptops.
 DOS and Windows- 95, Win-98, Apple Macintosh etc are example.
2. Batch Operating System:

 Batch is defined as a group of job with similar needs and similar resource requirements.
 The operating system that allows users to create batches and execute each batch sequentially, processing all jobs of batch con sidering
them as a single process is called “Batch Operating system”
 It allows litter or no interaction between users and executing programs.
 This is well suited for applications with large computation time and no user interaction.
 Payroll, forecasting, statistical analysis are programs example for its usage.
Advantages:
 User need not wait during its execution.

 It will function in FIFO (First In First Out) order.
Disadvantages:
 Non-interactive mode of execution

 Offline debugging
 IBM System/360 Operating system is an example for Batch Operating system
 In DOS, we can emulate the batch processing using .BAT file.
3. Multiprogramming Operating System:

 Multiprogramming is the capability of CPU to execute two or more programs concurrently.
 Two or more programs are stored concurrently in primary storage, and the CPU moves from one program to another, partially exe cuting
each in turn.
 Early computer system and many personal computers execute program in the order in which it is read into the system. Only one prog ram
is executed at a time.
4. Multitasking Operating System:

 Multitasking operating systems allow more than one program to run at a time.
 In gives you the perception of 2 or more tasks running at the same time. It does this by dividing system resources amongst th ese tasks.
 Multitasking is usually implemented by code and data of several programs in memory simultaneously and multiplexing processor and I/O
device among them.
 Multitasking is also called context switching.
 Multitasking usually refers to a single user.
30 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
 Example: Windows 98
5. Multi-user Operating System:
 A multi-user operating system allows multiple users on different computers or terminal to access a single system with one OS on it.
 It creates and maintains individual user environments, individual authentication and security level privileges, provides per user resource
usage accounting.
6. Time-Sharing Operating System:

 Time-Sharing operating system allows many users to share the computer resource simultaneously.
 Time sharing refers to the allocation of computer resource in time slots to several programs simultaneously.
 Large CAD and text processing systems belong to timesharing OS.
 Most of the time-sharing operating systems adopted time slicing/ round robin scheduling algorithm. Each user/process will receive a
portion of the time slot.
 UNIX, Windows Server is the example for multiprogramming, multi-use and time sharing systems.
7. Real-time Operating System:

 Real time systems refer to a computer and software systems that respond to events before the events become obsolete.
 The primary objective of real-time systems is to provide quick event – response times and thus meeting the scheduling deadlines.
 The main applications where real time systems are used include medical imaging systems, industrial control systems, flight co ntrol and
military application.
 Windows CE, Symbian, Linux OS are example for real-time systems.
8. Distributed Operating System:

 A distributed operating system is a collection of autonomous computer systems capable of communication and cooperation via th e
software and hardware interconnections.
 For example: if we have ‘N’ systems in a distributed environment then the distributed OS helps us in balancing the load by sharing
processors, I/O devices etc.
 The ATM centers of a bank are example of distributed operating system.
9. Network Operating System:

 A network operating system is a collection of software and associated protocols that allow a set of autonomous computer which are
interconnected by a computer network.
 It can be used in a convenient and cost-effective manner.
 In a network operating system the user are aware of the existence of multiple computers and can log in to remote machines and copy
files from one machine to another machine.
 Windows NT, windows server, LINUX are example.
SOME IMPORTANT CONCEPTS RELATED TO OPERATING SYSTEM  Process Scheduling: Below are different times with
respect to a process.
 Threads: 1. Arrival Time – Time at which the process arrives in the
ready queue.
A thread is a lightweight process or sub-process and forms the 2. Completion Time – Time at which process completes
basic unit of CPU utilization. A process can perform more than one its execution.
task at the same time by including multiple threads. 3. Burst Time – Time required by a process for CPU
execution.
There are two types of threads: 4. Turn Around Time – Time Difference between
completion time and arrival time.
• User threads Turn Around Time = Completion Time - Arrival Time
• Kernel threads 5. Waiting Time (WT) – Time Difference between turn
around time and burst time.
User threads are implemented by users. OS doesn’t recognize user Waiting Time = Turn Around Time - Burst Time
level threads.
 PROCESS SCHEDULING: A typical process involves both
I/O time and CPU time. In a uniprogramming system like
kernel threads are implemented by OS. Kernel threads are

MS ACCESS
 MS Access is a Database Management system which was launched by Microsoft. It is a part of the Microsoft Office suite and stores data
in its own format.
 Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a gra phical
user interface and software-development tools.
 It handles data management tasks.

 Microsoft Access allows users to manipulate large amounts of information and retrieve any part of the information.
 It is a structured database containing data tables that are arranged in a uniform structure of records and fields.
 A spreadsheet is a table used by small organisations that operates with a limited amount of data but for big organisations a Database
Management System is preferred because it needs storing huge amount of data and retrieves it much faster.
 In database management system the content and the location of the data is defined by meta data.
 On November 13, 1992, the first version on MS Access was released by Microsoft
 Before MS Access 2007, the file extension was ‘.mdb’, but in MS Access 2007 the extension has been changed to ‘.accdb’ extens ion.
 Early versions of Access cannot read accdb extensions but MS Access 2007 and later versions can read and change earlier versions of
Access.
USES OF MS ACCESS
MS Access can be used to develop application software and is generally used by data architects, software developers and power users. Following
are the major uses of MS Access:
 Manage accounts and bills

 Store data in the form of tables and edit or customise them later as per the requirement of the user
 It can be used to make our websites
 Comparing data or finding a relationship between the existing data can be done using Access
How to start MS Access Program
Click start → All programs → Microsoft office → Microsoft Access.
How to Create an Access Database
 Click the File tab.

 Choose New.
 Access displays a variety of database templates you can use.
 Click an icon, such as Blank Database, or any database template. When you click a template, a window appears; you see a preview of
your template.
 Click in the File Name text box and type a descriptive name for your database.
 Click the Create button to create your database file.
 Access displays a blank database.
 Click the Click to Add heading. Access displays a menu for defining what type of data that field can hold, such as text or nu mbers.
 Choose Long Text. Access displays a generic field name, such as Field1.
 Type a name for your field (such as First Name or Salary).
 Press Enter.
Access displays another Click to Add column; its menu lets you choose the type of data to store in the next field.
 Choose Long Text or any other data type you want the field to hold.
Access displays another generic field, such as Field1.
 Type a name for your field, such as Last Name.
 Repeat Steps 9 through 11 for each additional field you want to create.
 When you have finished adding fields, press Esc on the keyboard.
MS ACCESS OBJECTS
Tables: Tables are where the actual data is defined and entered. Tables consist of records (rows) and fields (columns).
46 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
• Field : A space allocated for a particular item of information is field. Afield is a column in a table. SQL Server supports more fiel ds, but
only 255 fields are visible in Access. The definition of a field includes the name of the field, the type of data that is stored in the field, and
any validation rules that you must have to validate the stored data. For example a tax form, contains a number of fields such as name,
address, income and so on. In database systems, fields are the smallest units of information. In spreadsheets, fields are called cells.
• Record : In database management systems, a record is a row in a table.We may store any number of records in a table. Records are
composed of fields, each of which contains one item of information. A set of records makes a file. For example, a personnel file contai ns
records that have fields such as name, address and a phone number etc.
Queries: Queries are basically questions about the data in a database. A query consists of specifications indicating which fields, records, and
summaries want to see from a database. Queries allow to extract data based on the criteria user define.
Forms : Forms are designed to ease the data entry process. For example, To create a data entry form that looks exactly like a paper form.
Reports: When a user want to print records from user database, design a report. Access even has a wizard to help produce mailing labels.
Pages: A data access page is a special type of Web page designed for viewing and working with data from the Internet or an intrane t. This data is
stored in a Microsoft Access database or a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Macros: A macro is a set of one or more actions that each performs a particular operation, such as opening a form or printing a report. Macros can
help user automate common tasks. For example, user can run a macro that prints a report when a user clicks a command button.
Modules: A module is a collection of Visual Basic for Applications declarations and procedures that are stored together as a unit. T his allows a set
of pre-defined instructions to be created by a programmer in the database. They can be used throughout the datab ase.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
Database File : A database is a collection of related information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed and updated. We
organize files by storing them in folders.
“The process of arranging data in logical sequence is called sorting.”
It is an integrated collection of logically-related records that provide data for one or more multiple uses. We can also perform operations on the
data that is in a database.
File updating : In computing, reviewing and altering the records in a file to ensure that the information they contain is accurate and up-to-date.
Three basic processes are involved:
 adding new records,

 deleting existing records,
 amending existing records.
Database engine : A database engine is a part of a DBMS. It provides a link between the DBMS and the physical data on the hard disk.
Field Name : It is a label provide for a field that specifies the type of information contained in a particular field.
Rules for naming field
a. It can be up to 64 characters long.

b. The naming cannot include control characters.
c. It cannot begin with leading spaces.
d. It can include any combination of letters, numbers, spaces and special characters except a period (.), an exclamation mark (! ), an accent
grave (`) and brackets ([ ]).
Field Type/Data Type : It specifies the type of data stored in the field such as textual data and numerical data or combination of both. The defau lt
size of data type is 50 in MS-Access.
47 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
Field Length : Field refers length or width to the maximum number of characters that a field can contain.
MS-Access View- You can create a table by two most popular ways
a. Database View : It shows the data in the database and also allows you to enter and edit the data but not allow to change the database.
b. Design View : It allows you to create or change the table and also set the keys.
c. Filtering Data : It enables to display only those records in a table that meet a specified filter criterion.
Primary Key - Primary key is a field or group of fields that uniquely identify records in a table. Every table can have only one primary key Primary
key cannot be null value it always has unique value. Primary key is used to relate one table to another as a foreign key. Foreign key: Foreign key is
a key in a table that refers to primary key Held in another table.
The differences between primary key and foreign key

Primary Key Foreign Key
 It is a column or a set of column that  It is a column or a set of column that

can be used to uniquely identify a refer to a primary key or a candidate
row in a table. key of another table.
 A table can have a single primary key  A table can have multiple foreign key
that can reference different tables. that can reference different tables.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
 Filtering Data : It enables to display only those records in a table that meet a specified filter criterion.
 Validation Rule : It is a condition that must be met before the data is accepted into the database.
 Validation Text - It appears if a validation rule is not satisfied.
 The Required field - property makes data entry compulsory so that the field cannot be left blank.
 Relationship : It is an association between access table or quarries that use related field. It is a link between tables and enables us to
accessed data from both tables simultaneously.
Relationship can be divided in three categories; One-in-One, One-to-Many and Many-to-Many.
 Attributes : Attributes can be defined as the characteristics of an entity to identify in uniquely. Such as student’s attributes are his Roll-
No, Section, Name etc.
 Memo- It allows long blocks of text, that use text formatting
 OLE Object- it is an acronym for object linking embedding. It can store objects such as a video clip. a picture, word document etc.

05. INTERNET AND EMAIL
INTERNET- The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP - called the
backbone of internet) to link various billion devices worldwide. It is an international network of networks that consists of millions of private, public,
academic, business, and government packet switched networks, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical net working
technologies.
HISTORY OF INTERNET
The Internet emerged in the United States in the 1970s but did not become visible to the general public until the early 1990s. By 2020,
approximately 4.5 billion people, or more than half of the world’s population, were estimated to have access to the Internet.
The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency
Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to co mmunicate on a
single network.
The technology continued to grow in the 1970s after scientists Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf developed Transmission Control Prot ocol and Internet
Protocol, or TCP/IP, a communications model that set standards for how data could be transmitted between multiple networks.
ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern
Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.
While it’s often confused with the internet itself, the web is actually just the most common means of accessing data online i n the form of websites
and hyperlinks.
During 1991-1993 commercial use of Internet took its speed.
• For the first time, on 15 August 1995 VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited) and ISP (Internet Service Provider) launched Intern et
services in india.
• The First political party of India is Bharatiya Janata Party, which created its own website on internet.
• First telephone directory on internet was made available by Sikkim state.
• India's first Hi-speed rural broadband network has been commissioned in district of Idukki, Kerala.

NETWORK PROTOCOLS
In networking, a protocol is a set of rules for formatting and processing data. Network protocols are like a common language for computers. The
computers within a network may use vastly different software and hardware; however, the use of protocols enables them to communicate with
each other regardless.
On the Internet, there are different protocols for different types of processes. Protocols are often discussed in terms of wh ich OSI model layer
they belong to.
ISO/OSI Network Model
The standard model for networking protocols and distributed applications is the International Standard Organization’s Open Sy stem Interconnect
(ISO/OSI) model. It defines seven network layers.
There are various types of protocols that support a major and 7. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP): HTTP is designed for
compassionate role in communicating with different devices across transferring a hypertext among two or more systems. HTML tags are

• E-MAIL- ELECTRONIC MAIL
It is the most widely used application on the Internet. It is simple, very fast and a reliable tool for sending and receiving messages from an
individual or a group of people across the world via the Internet as similar to writing a letter.
In 1971, Ray Tomlinson created the first ARPANET email application, so he is considered to be the father of E-mail.
Hotmail was the first free email service launched in June 1996 by Sabeer Bhatia. Today, hotmail is still one of the biggest f ree email services.
E-mail addresses are written with a custom username at the beginning followed by the email service provider's domain name, with an @ sign
separating the two. Here's an example: name@gmail.com. More plainly, e-mail is a message that may contain text, files, images, or other
attachments sent through a network to a specified individual or group of individuals.
Writing an e-mail
When writing an e-mail message, it should look something like the example window below. As you can see, several fields are required when
sending an e-mail:
The To field is where the e-mail address of the person receiving the e-mail is placed.
• The From field should contain your e-mail address. If you are replying to a message, the To: and From: fields are automatically filled out. If it's
a new message, you'll need to specify the recipients in the To: field by selecting them from your contact list or by typing the e-mail
addresses. If you enter more than one recipient (e.g., group e-mail), the addresses should be separated by a comma and a space, or by
pressing the Tab key.
• The Subject should consist of a few words describing the e-mail's contents. The subject lets the recipient see what the e-mail is about,
without opening and reading the full e-mail. This field is optional.
54 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
• The CC ("Carbon Copy") field allows you to specify recipients who are not direct addressees (listed in the "To" field). For instance, you can
address an e-mail to Jeff and CC Linda and Steven. Although the e-mail is addressed to Jeff, Linda and Steven also receive a copy and
everyone can see who received the e-mail. This field is optional.
• The BCC ("blind carbon copy") field is similar to CC, except the recipients are secret. Each BCC recipient will receive the e -mail, but will not
see who else received a copy. The addressees (anyone listed in the "To" field) remain visible to all recipients. This field is optional.
• Finally, the Message Body is the location you type your main message. It often contains your signature at the bottom; similar to a handwritten
letter.
Advantages of e-mail
There are many advantages of e-mail and the usage of e-mail versus postal mail. Some of the main advantages are listed below.
• Free delivery - Sending an e-mail is virtually free, outside the cost of Internet service. There is no need to buy a postage stamp to send a
letter.
• Global delivery - E-mail can be sent to nearly anywhere around the world, to any country.
• Instant delivery - An e-mail can be instantly sent and received by the recipient over the Internet
• File attachment - An e-mail can include one or more file attachments, allowing a person to send documents, pictures, or other files with an
e-mail.
• Long-term storage - E-mails are stored electronically, which allows for storage and archival over long periods of time.
• Environmentally friendly - Sending an e-mail does not require paper (paperless), cardboard, or packing tape, conserving paper resources

06. COMPUTER VIRUS AND ANTIVIRUS
Computer security (also known as cyber security or IT security) is information security as applied to computing devices such as computers and
smart phones, as well as computer networks such as private and public networks,including the whole Internet.
Traditionally, computer facilities have been physically protected for three reasons:
• To prevent theft of or damage to the hardware

• To prevent theft of or damage to the information
• To prevent disruption of service
The Basic Components of Security
1. Confidentiality : Confidentiality is the concealment of information or resources. The need for keeping information secret arises from the
use of computers in sensitive fields such as government and industry. For example, military and civilian institutions in the government
often restrict access to information to those who need that information. The first formal work in computer security was motiv ated by the
military’s attempt to implement controls to enforce a “need to know” principle. This principle also applies to indus trial firms, which keep
their proprietary designs secure lest their competitors try to steal the designs. As a further example, all types of institut ions keep
personnel records secret.
2. Integrity : Integrity refers to the trustworthiness of data or resources, and it is usually phrased in terms of preventing improper or
unauthorized change. Integrity includes data integrity (the content of the information) and origin integrity (the source of t he data, often
called authentication). The source of the information may bear on its accuracy and credibility and on the trust that people p lace in the
information. This dichotomy illustrates the principle that the aspect of integrity known as credibility is cent ral to the proper functioning of
a system.
3. Availability : Availability refers to the ability to use the information or resource desired. Availability is an important aspect of relia bility as
well as of system design because an unavailable system is at least as bad as no system at all. The aspect of availability that is relevant to
security is that someone may deliberately arrange to deny access to data or to a service by making it unavailable.
4. Access Control System : Any system designed to prevent and restrict access to users. For example, a primary form of access control is
only allowing users who have accounts to login to a system or only allowing the user access to files he or she should be able to see.
Transport Layer Security- Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the
Internet.

Malware or malicious software typically consists of code developed by cyber attackers, designed to cause extensive damage to data and systems
or to gain unauthorized access to a network. Malware is typically delivered in the form of a link or file over email and requ ires the user to click on
the link or open the file to execute the malware.
Types of malware can include computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses , root kits, adware and spyware.
VIRUS - A computer virus is a type of computer program that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs an d
inserting its own code. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected" with a computer virus.
The terms "virus" and "malware" are often used interchangeably. Malware is a catch-all term for any type of malicious software, regardless of how
it works, its intent, or how it's distributed. A virus is a specific type of malware that self-replicates by inserting its code into other programs.
“VIRUS: Vital Information Resources Under Seize”
Top Some Sources of Computer Virus Attack
2. Downloadable Programs : Downloadable files are one of the best possible sources of virus. Any type of executable program including
games, freeware, screen savers as well as executable files are one of the major sources of computer virus attacks. Executable files having
an extension of “.com”, “.exe” and “coolgame.exe” contain virus sources too. If in the case a user want to download programs from th e
internet then it is necessary to scan every program before downloading them.
3. Illegal Software : Most people who download cracked and illegal versions of software online are unaware about the reality that they may
contain virus sources as well. Such illegal files contain viruses and bugs that are difficult to detect as well as to remove. Hence, it is always
a preferable option to download software from the appropriate source.
4. Email Attachments : Email attachments are one of the other popular sources of computer virus attacks. Hence, a user must handle email
attachments with extreme care, especially if the email comes from an unknown sender. Installation of a good antivirus assumes prime
necessity if one desires to eliminate the possibility of virus attacks.
5. Using Internet : Using internet is one of the common sources of virus infection. Majority of all computer users are unaware as when viruses
attack computer systems. Almost every computer user click/download everything that comes their way and hence unknowingly invi tes the
possibility of virus attacks.
6. Booting from Unknown CD : Most computer users believe that one of the most common ways of virus infection is through Data CD. It is a
good practice to remove the CD when the computer system is not working. If you do not remove the CD after switching off the computer
system then it is every possibility that the computer system may start to boot automatically from the disc.
7. Using Pendrive/USB Flash drive : Using pen drive/USB flash drive is another source of virus attacks. It is a good practice to scan the
pendrive when it is connected to computer.
8. Not running the latest updates : Many of the updates, especially those associated with Microsoft Windows and other operating systems and
programs, are security updates. Running a program or operating system that is not up-to-date with the latest updates can be a big security
risk and can be a way your computer becomes infected.
HISTORY OF VIRUS
 Creeper, named for a character on the “Scooby Doo” cartoon show, is generally recognized at the first computer virus. It was written in
1971 by Bob Thomas of BBN Technologies and spread through DEC PDP-10 computers on ARPANET, displaying the message, "I'm the
creeper, catch me if you can!"
 Elk Cloner, written in 1982 by then-15-year-old Rich Skrenta of Pittsburgh, was a boot-sector virus designed to infect Apply II computers.
 Brain, created in Pakistan in 1986, by two brothers Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, it was the first PC virus boot sector to hit Microsoft
running computers then other popular operating system MS-DOS
If your system has fallen victim to a computer virus then there may be a number of symptoms you might be experiencing:
1. Slow computer performance

2. Erratic computer behaviour
3. Unexplained data loss
4. Frequent computer crashes
TYPES OF VIRUS
1. Boot Sector Virus- Boot sector viruses are one of the oldest forms of computer virus out there. They infect the boot sector or partition
table of a hard drive so that they're initiated the moment the computer is switched on.
A Boot Sector virus isn't a specific virus, it's a particular way in which viruses can affect your computer. A boot sector is a physical
sector on your hard drive which is required to start the boot process and load your operating system.
By placing a virus here, it means the virus is activated every time you start your computer, even before your operating system begins to boot up.
Often, you won't even realize it's happening which makes the threat potentially even worse. Boot sector viruses can even spre ad to other hard
drives you have installed or physical media you have plug
2. Direct Action Virus
When it comes to these types of viruses, direct action viruses infect your files and are one of the two main types of compute r virus that does this. It
doesn't hide in your computer's memory nor install itself. The way it works is through particular file types like .EXE or .COM, which they attach into.
58 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
Once you click on the infected file, it becomes active. It then looks for other files in the infected file's location so it c an spread more. While it's
annoying, it doesn't cripple your system's performance since it only makes your files inaccessible.
You can remove it with a simple anti-virus program, so it's not much of a threat compared to the Boot Sector virus.
3. Resident Virus
Like its direct action counterpart, the resident virus is a file infector. But its primary difference from the former is that they install themselves on
your PC unit. They become even dangerous because they can persist even after the primary source of the virus infection gets removed.
Depending on the virus's programming, it can be difficult to spot it and remove it from your system. It depends on whether th e resident virus is a
fast infector or a slow infector. The former causes damage as fast as it can while the latter progresses its damage at a much slower pace.
4. Multipartite Virus
More nefarious than most viruses, multipartite viruses are an amalgamation of the different types of computer viruses regardi ng how it spreads. It
spreads using various means, and it could take a wide variety of actions depending on several factors. For example, it can act in a different
manner depending on your PC's operating system.
It can infect your boot sector and executable files, making it act and spread faster. This makes it tougher to remove and might require a complete
reformat to prevent a recurrence.
Example – Ghostball, Tequila, Ywinz etc.
5. Polymorphic Virus
These are complex file infectors that can create modified version of itself to avoid detection. This type of virus is dangerous because anti-virus
programs have a hard time detecting it. Most programs take days or months formulating routines necessary to identify a single polymorphic virus.
Detection takes a long time because of the way anti-virus programs function. These software types can only blacklist a single virus variant.
Polymorphic viruses take advantage of this by changing its signature when it reproduces, making it look like a different, oth erwise harmless file.
6. Overwrite Virus
An overwriting virus is a malicious program which, after infection, will effectively destroy the original program code, typically by overwriting data
in the system's memory.
7. Spacefiller Virus
A spacefiller virus also called cavity virus or Chernobyl virus or CIH is a rare type of computer virus that attempts to install itself by filling in empty
sections of a file. By only using empty sections of a file, the virus can infect a file without changing the size of the file , making it more difficult to
detect.
8. Memory Resident Virus
It is a malicious code that installs in the memory and then infects future programs. Also known as the Terminate and Stay Res ident (TSR), it finds a
way to load in the computer’s RAM and then infects the executable files that are opened by the user when a certain conditions are met. A few
examples of this kind of virus are Jerusalem Virus, Onehalf virus, Magistr, Junkie, Satanbug etc.
9. Web Scripting Virus
These viruses often transmit themselves into your computer's system through the programming used for websites. Placing images, videos, and
layouts require a certain degree of coding. That means you might download the viruses without your knowledge if you click on malicious websites'
links or watch their videos.
The best way to prevent this is to have security programs that detect malicious coding when browsing the internet.
10. Browser Hijacker
This type of virus is one of the most straightforward and easy-to-detect viruses. It will interfere with your work by leading you off to different
websites even if you enter the internet address you want to go to. A good practice is to be careful with your downloads and toolbars.
11. Macro Virus
In computing terminology, a macro virus is a virus that is written in a macro language: a programming language which is e mbedded inside a
software application (e.g., word processors and spreadsheet applications). Some applications, such as Microsoft Office, Excel , PowerPoint allow
macro programs to be embedded in documents such that the macros are run automatically when the document is opened, and this provides a
distinct mechanism by which malicious computer instructions can spread. This is one reason it can be dangerous to open unexpe cted
attachments in e-mails. Many antivirus programs can detect macro viruses; however, the macro virus' behavior can still be difficult to detect.

ROLE OF IT IN GOVERNANCE
What is information technology?
Information technology is the technology used to store, manipulate, distribute or create information. All these can be summe d up easily – It’s
having knowledge, and knowledge comes from having information. Gaining knowledge through information is the role of ‘’information technology’’
IT in today’s informed world.
IT is a set of tools that can help provide the right people with the right information at the right time. Though IT is not a solution to every thing, for IT
to work, people must learn how to use it. So you can not assume that IT will work for you to share information across the org anization when people
in the organization don’t know how to use it.
Definition of e-Governance
Electronic governance or e-governance implies government functioning with the application of ICT (Information and Communications
Technology). Hence e-Governance is basically a move towards SMART governance implying: simple, moral, accountable, responsive and
transparent governance.
What is SMART Governance?
• Simple — implies simplification of rules and regulations of the government and avoiding complex processes with the application of ICTs
and therefore, providing a user-friendly government.
• Moral — meaning the emergence of a new system in the administrative and political machinery with technology interventions to improve
the efficiency of various government agencies.
• Accountable — develop effective information management systems and other performance measurement mechanisms to ensure the
accountability of public service functionaries.
• Responsive — Speed up processes by streamlining them, hence making the system more responsive.
63 JK EXAM CRACKER
CONTACT- 9469860788
• Transparent — providing information in the public domain like websites or various portals hence making functions and processes of the
government transparent.
Interactions/ Types in e-Governance
There are 4 kinds of interactions in e-governance, namely:
1. G2C (Government to Citizens) — Interaction between the government and the citizens.
• This enables citizens to benefit from the efficient delivery of a large range of public services.
• Expands the accessibility and availability of government services and also improves the quality of services
• The primary aim is to make the government citizen-friendly.
2. G2B (Government to Business):
• It enables the business community to interact with the government by using e-governance tools.
• The objective is to cut red-tapism which will save time and reduce operational costs. This will also create a more transparent business
environment when dealing with the government.
• The G2B initiatives help in services such as licensing, procurement, permits and revenue collection.
3. G2G (Government to Government)
• Enables seamless interaction between various government entities.

• This kind of interaction can be between various departments and agencies within government or between two governments like th e
union and state governments or between state governments.
• The primary aim is to increase efficiency, performance and output.
• Read about government to government initiatives in the linked article.
4. G2E (Government to Employees)
• This kind of interaction is between the government and its employees.

• ICT tools help in making these interactions fast and efficient and thus increases the satisfaction levels of employees.

Digital India Mission is mainly focused on three areas:
• Providing digital infrastructure as a source of utility to every citizen.

• Governance and services on demand.
• To look after the digital empowerment of every citizen.
Digital India aims to provide the much-needed thrust to the nine pillars of growth areas. Each of these areas is a complex programme in itself and
cuts across multiple Ministries and Departments. The nine pillars of Digital India are given below:
1. Broadband Highways– This covers three sub components, namely Broadband for All – Rural, Broadband for All – Urban and National
Information Infrastructure (NII).
2. Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity- This initiative focuses on network penetration and filling the gaps in connectivity in the country.
3. Public Internet Access Programme- The two sub components of Public Internet Access Programme are Common Services Centres
(CSCs) and Post Offices as multi-service centres.
4. e-Governance: Reforming Government through Technology- Government Process Re-engineering using IT to simplify and make the
government processes more efficient is critical for transformation to make the delivery of government services more effective across
various government domains and therefore needs to be implemented by all Ministries/ Departments.
5. e-Kranti – Electronic Delivery of Services- To improve the delivery of public services and simplify the process of accessing them. In this
regard, several e-governance initiatives have been undertaken by various State Governments and Central Ministries to usher in an era of
e-Government. e-Governance in India has steadily evolved from the computerization of Government Departments to initiatives that
encapsulate the finer points of Governance, such as citizen centricity, service orientation and transparency.
6. Information for All- This pillar aims to ensure transparency and availability of reliable data generated by the line ministries for use, reuse
and redistribution for the people of India.
7. Electronics Manufacturing- This pillar focuses on promoting electronics manufacturing in the country.
8. IT for Jobs- This pillar focuses on providing training to the youth in the skills required for availing employment opportunities in the IT /ITES
sector.
9. Early Harvest Programmes- This pillar consists of a group of different short-term projects which have immediate effect on the Indian
digital ecosystem like IT platform for mass messaging, crowd Sourcing of eGreetings, biometric attendance in the government o ffices,
WI-FI in all universities etc.
Digital India Initiatives
The Government has taken up many initiatives under the Digital India campaign. Discussed below are few such important initiat ives:
DigiLockers – This flagship initiative aims at ‘Digital Empowerment’ of the citizen by providing access to authentic digital documents to citizen’s
digital document wallet
E-Hospitals – It is a Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) which is a one-stop solution in connecting patients, hospitals and doctors
through a single digital platform. Till February 2021, as many as 420 e-Hospitals had been established under the Digital India campaign
E-Pathshala – Developed by NCERT, e-Pathshala showcases and disseminates all educational e-resources including textbooks, audio, video,
