Are most computers analog machines?
No, most computers today are digital machines. Digital computers operate using discrete binary data, represented as 0s and 1s. Analog computers, on the other hand, manipulate continuous physical quantities such as voltage, current, or mechanical motion. While analog computers were used in the past, the vast majority of computers in use today are digital.
Which is faster an analog computer or a digital computer?
built with the same level of technology, analog computers are always faster but less accurate than digital computers. however as little significant work on analog computers has been done since the 1980s, they currently significantly lag behind digital computers in speed.
What are some examples of analog computers?
abacus old-fashioned cash register (with gears and handle) gear-driven clocks/watches ---- Actually the above are examples of mechanical computers, not analog computers. Analog computers use continually variable quantities. An abacus uses discrete units of measurement and is digital, though not binary. A slide rule is an example of a simple mechanical analog computer. Another example is the Norden Bomb Sight. An ancient example is the astrolabe. More complex analog computers are programmable and can use fluid, mechanical, or electronically set values. There is a link below to an article on analog computers.
Can we process data in computers in analogue form?
Absolutely, but those are called analog computers and operate very differently than the way digital computers do.Electronic analog computers long predate electronic digital computers and until the invention of the microprocessor were almost always less expensive than electronic digital computers. In some cases hybrid computers were built composed of a digital computer, an analog computer, and converter circuits so that data could be transferred back and forth between the two computing sections of the machine.The most common type of electronic analog computer was the electronic differential analyzer, but there are many other types that have been built for solving specific classes of problems (e.g. electronic harmonic analyzers, electronic finite element analyzers) via electronic analog means.
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.
Name two types of computers?
analog digital
Are handed clocks types of analog computers?
yes
What do electronic computer manufacturers produce?
Included in this industry are digital computers, analog computers, and hybrid digital/analog computers.
Classification of computer according to processing?
Computers are designed according to the data they are supposed to process. In this regard there are three types of computers Analogue, Digital and Hybrid.
Apart from analog hybrid and digital computers what are the other types of computers?
That is it. All known computers can be put in one of those categories. Some may argue that a neural net computer (like the human brain) defines a fourth type of computer, but even that really is a hybrid.

What is the answer for a question 'how do you do'?
Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computers and digital computers. The digital component normally serves as the controller and provides logical operations, while the analog component normally serves as a solver of differential equations.
