the answr is "INPUT"
Input
ram
Input is something that can be sent to the computer. An example for an input device would be a keyboard, you type things on the keyboard and that data is input into the computer.
2) what is an output device that prints output on paper? and an output that is printed on paper?
Terminal
data processing,data storage,data movement and control.
Processing occurs after data have been entered into the computer.
Processing- A way in which computers manipulate data and mostly takes place in the CPU.
ram
The example of electronic data processing is the use of the computer in processing data.
Input is something that can be sent to the computer. An example for an input device would be a keyboard, you type things on the keyboard and that data is input into the computer.
data
The four computer functions are: - data input -data processing -data storage and -data output The relationship between these and processing is that when data is entered into a computer,that is input, then the computer fetches it,decodes it executes it and results are stored in the CPU registers or even the user can choose to store to any other storage media.Therefore,the four functions of a computer are stages of information processing.
Ans.The data-processing cycle describes how data is processed into information by the computer. The input stage is the first stage of the data-processing cycle. Data is collected and entered into the computer. In the processing stage, the computer converts data into information according to given instructions. After processing, the information is presented to users in the output stage. Information is stored on different types of media in the storage stage. The stored information can be used later for a different data processing cycle. In this way, the data- processing cycle continues.
The manipulation of data into information by computers is called data processing. Processing involves organizing, sorting and making calculations from raw facts and figures to give them more meaning.
occurs when data is entered into the computer
A computer monitor displays any data that is entered on the keyboard.
Input is the data entered to the computer using keyboard, mouse, etc. Then it is processed by the Central Processing Unit or CPU and displayed to the OUTPUT (Monitor, Printer, etc.).
