As encoded values composed of one or more bits. A small number of computers used trits instead of bits, but these were rare. Some computers of a new type currently being developed called quantum computers use quebits instead of bits. But the important thing common to all digital computers is the encoded values.

This is in contrast to analog computers where quantities are represented as continuous values.

How a digital computer work.how can we define a digital computer and analog cmputer?

Digital computers work with exact discretely coded representations of numbers.Analog computers work with approximate continuous representations of numbers.Hybrid computers are computers that are part digital part analog.I have used all three types, each has advantages.


When the first computer was invented?

the first known computer, a mechanical analog computer, was invented and built circa 100BCthe first digital computer, a programmable mechanical decimal computer, was invented circa 1840 but never builtthe first electronic digital computer, an electronic binary computer, was invented circa 1936 and built in 1942. it was dismantled later that yearthe first programmable electronic digital computer, was invented in 1943 and 11 of them in 2 different models were built between 1944 and the end of the war in Europe. this is the only digital computer built built in a quantity greater than 1 until the early 1950sthe first stored program electronic digital computer, was built in 1948 based on a variety of concepts invented between 1936 and 1946. all modern digital computers are derivatives of this architecture

Memory capacity of analog computer?

Analog computers do not have memory like digital computers do, so this question has no answer as written.Analog computers have widely varying architectures, unlike modern digital computers which are all some variant of the stored program architecture first developed in the late 1940s.The most common analog computing architecture from the 1920s through early 1980s and implemented both mechanically and electronically was the Integrating Analog Computer. On such computers the capacity was specified by the number of Integrators. A small computer might have 8 integrators while a large one might have 50 integrators.


Why is a computer electronic?

The data across the wire is being sent in 1s and 0s. 1s mean on and 0s mean off. Digital signals are moved in a up down almost perfect rhythm. Analog shows data in jerky signal and its harder to read. That is why when analog power goes into your system from the wall jack it is converted into digital power.

What is digital data representation?

Digital data is information represented by numbers (digits). All information, no matter how abstract, can be reduced to a single number. And anything that can be represented numerically can be represented in a digital computer; we simply convert the number to its binary (base 2) equivalent. We use base 2 representations for the simple reason that it is easy to represent opposing states in a machine. If we think of punch cards, either there is a hole in a given position or there is not. If we think of DVDs, either there is pit in a given position or there is not (the absence of a pit is known as a land). If we think of magnetic mediums, either the particles are in the positive phase or the negative phase. Optical readers (such as barcode readers) use black and white stripes or boxes. Even a simple switch can be on or off.

What is meant by the vocabulary of a digital computer?

The vocabulary of a digital computer is only what is entered into the data base. It all goes with the old saying "garbage in, garbage out". The computer does not know any more than what a person tells it to do. It does not have a brain that can think for itself.
