A computer is a machine that can be programmed to manipulate symbols. A computer is a programmable machine designed to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations. The particular sequence of operations can be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem.

It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well defined manner . It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program). It can quickly store and retrieve large amounts of data. The first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (19401945). Originally, they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).

An analog computer which can perform multiple calculation at once and can cope with infinite fractions of numbers . It can work both mechanically and electronically. An analog computer is a form of computer that uses the continuously-changeable aspects of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved. In contrast, digital computers represent varying quantities incrementally, as their numerical values change.

DIGITAL COMPUTERS
Accuracy unlimited operates on discrete data Output is continuous controls industrial processes designs automobiles & aircraft simulate dynamic systems

Types of Digital computer:

Tablet PC Handheld Computers

Desktop Notebook Workstation Smart Phone

Advantages:
Precise representation of signal can be obtained. Information storage is easier. Noise immunity permits data to be stored & retrieved without degradation.

Disadvantages:

Uses more energy. More expensive , especially in small quantities. Vulnerable to single bit errors.

Hybrid Computers
offers both speed and precision. combination of computers that are capable of inputting and outputting in both digital and analog signals. cost effective method of performing complex simulations. for successful system development and used in scientific applications or in controlling industrial processes. helps to manage equations in a real-time fashion.

A microcomputer is a computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit. They are physically small compared to mainframe and minicomputers. Many microcomputers (when equipped with a keyboard and screen for input and output) are also personal computers (in the generic sense

The speed, processing , power and cost of minicomputer is more than microcomputer . Minicomputers have large storage capacities and processing power than microcomputer . It uses support multiple users in one time. It is used in organizations where large amount of data is to be processed.

Mainframes are powerful computers use d primarily by corporate and governmental organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing. A mainframe is simply a very large computer. And totally different from what you have on your desk.

Just about everyone has used a mainframe computer at one point or another. These computers are used for data processing in large MNC, railway reservation etc. the mainframe occupies a coveted place in today's e-business environment.

A supercomputer is a computer that is among the largest, fastest or most powerful of the computers available. If you are hoping to have a supercomputer on your desk, you may be out of luck.

Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations. weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Super computers are used for designing aircraft, automobiles etc.

The chief difference between a supercomputer and a mainframe is that a supercomputer channels all its power into executing a few programs as fast as possible, whereas a mainframe uses its power to execute many programs concurrently. Supercomputers are used for scientific and engineering problems (high-performance computing) which are limited by processing speed and memory size, while mainframes are used for problems which are limited by data movement in input/output devices, reliability, and for handling multiple business transactions concurrently.
