What are the stages of information processing cycle?

Answer 1

1. Input:In this phase the computer receives data from input source by user or a program. An input source by user can be an input device like keyboard, mouse, microphone etc. 2. Processing:After receiving data, here the computer performs actions on the data like mathematical operations or logical comparisons etc. as per being instructed by user or a program. 3. Output:After processing the data computer has generated information that now can be sent to output. Output can be sent for display in monitor, or to printer or speaker as sound etc. It is also as per required by the user or program. 4. Storage:

Again, after processing the data, computer can also store the data into an storage device for future use.

Phase output and storage, are optional. Both of them can be required and vice-versa, as the generated information can also be directly used by another processing cycle where this generated information will be treated as data to be processed.

Answer 2

1-Data:-

a collection of facts or measurements of an observable phenomena which can be qualitative (descriptive information) or quantitative (numerical information)

2-Input

converting analog raw data (text-sound-movement-image...) to digital binary form using input devices so it can be handled by a computer system.

3-processing:-

converting data (facts and measurements) to useful and practical information by performing arithmetic and logic operations defined by instructions of a software program which is designed to solve and satisfy a user computing problem

4- output

converting processed information from digital binary form to a human readable form using output devices.

5- storage

saving the results of data processing for future use or to be used as inputs to other software programs

6- information

the result of manipulating data

7- program

a series of fine instructions that details a task to the computer system hardware to perform and instruct the computer system to accept a certain data input and manipulates it by performing a series of arithmetic and logic operation and out put the result that solve the users problem
