The Four Equipment Functions of A Computer System: Input, Processing, Storage and Output

A computer system has four main functions: input, processing, storage, and output. Input involves transferring information into the system like typing code. Processing manipulates and controls information using components like the control unit and ALU. Storage saves information permanently on storage devices. Output displays information on monitors or prints it.

The Four Equipment Functions


of a Computer System
There are four main equipment functions of a computer system:
Input, Processing, Storage and Output

Input: the transferring of information into a computer system - for our purposes this will
be accomplished when you, the programmer, type source code at the keyboard or open a
previously typed program.

Processing: the manipulation and control of information within the computer


system. Such manipulations are handled by the Control Unit, the Arithmetic Logic Unit and
Temporary Storage.

Storage: the means by which information can be "permanently" saved (until such time as
you wish to delete it). This usually occurs on a hard drive, a diskette or a CD.

Output: the displaying of information - for our purposes this will be accomplished when
your program displays information on the monitor or printed on paper.
