WHAT IS COMPUTER
THE WORD “COMPUTER” COMES FROM THE WORD
COMPUTE, WHICH MEANS TO CALCULATE. SO A
COMPUTER IS NORMALLY CONSIDERED TO BE
CALCULATION DEVICE THAT PERFORM ARITHMETIC
OPERATIONS AT AN ENORMOUS SPEED.
A COMPUTER IS BASICALLY A PROGRAMMABLE DEVICE.
THE FULL FORM OF COMPUTER IS “ COMMON
OPERATING MACHINE PURPOSELY USED FOR
TECHNOLOGICAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH”.

WHAT IS OPERATING SYSTEM
An operating system (OS) is the core software
that manages a computer's hardware and
software resources, enabling users to interact
with their devices and run applications.
FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING
SYSTEM
File management
Memory management
Input/output management
Processor management
Security management
FILE MANAGEMENT AND MEMORY
MANAGEMENT
FILE MANAGEMENT: The OS provides a system for managing
files and directories, allowing users to organize and access data.
MEMORY MANAGEMENT: is the process of controlling and
coordinating a computer's main memory. It ensures that blocks
of memory space are properly managed and allocated so the
operating system (OS), applications and other running processes
have the memory they need to carry out their operations.
INPUT / OUTPUT MANAGEMENT
Input / Output (I/O): management in an operating system
involves managing the flow of data between the CPU and
external devices like keyboards, printers, and storage
devices. The OS ensures efficient and reliable communication
and control of these I/O operations. This includes managing
device drivers, handling interrupts, and providing a consistent
interface for applications to interact with I/O devices.
PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT
Process management: in an operating system (OS) involves
overseeing the lifecycle of processes, which are essentially
programs in execution. It includes tasks like process creation,
scheduling, resource allocation, synchronization, and
termination, ensuring efficient and stable system operation.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATING
SYSTEM
Single user operating (DOS, WINDOW)
Multiple user (LINUS,UNIX)
Single Tasking (DOS)
Multiple Tasking (LINUX,UNIX)
DIFF BTW RAM / ROM
RAM ROM
ROM stand for Read only
RAM(READ ONLY MEMORY)
memory
IT IS A PRIMARY MEMORY It is a also primary memory
IT IS VERSATILE ROM is non volatile
DATA CAN BE MODIFIED memory
RAM IS FASTER MEMORY Data can’t be modified
ROM is slower than RAM
WHAT IS CACHE MEMORY
Cache memory is a high speed memory built in the processor
and used between the main memory and the processor
It is faster than main memory
Difference B/W Primary or Secondary memory
Primary memory Secondary memory
Primary memory is Temporary Secondary memory is a permanent
memory memory
It is Volatile memory It is a non volatile memory
Its example are RAM and ROM Its example are HDD, CD, Pen drive
etc.
Difference B/W GUI and CUI
GUI ( Graphical user Interface) CUI (Character user Interface)
GUI stand for Graphical user interface CUI stand for Character user
interface
It is a base operating system
It is a character base or command
It is a user friendly operating system
line interface
Its example are MS window It is also user friendly operating
Its used Mouse and Keyboard system
Its example are MS Dos
It is used only Keyboard
Difference B/W system Software and
Application Software
System Software Application Software
System software are set of one or More Application software package control to
programs that are basically Designed to the heed of a specific group of user, For
control the operating of a computer inventory control for school
Running of other software packages. Administration for library management
etc.
A computer without system software
would be ineffective and impossible to Application software cannot run without
operate. system software on the computer
system
Some computer of system software are
operating system, Language Transferor, Some example of application software
Loaders, Linkers, Compeller, Interpreter are Ms office, Tally , DTP etc.
etc.
Difference B/W function and formula is MS
EXCEL

IN EXCEL 2007, many in built functions to do complex calculation.
Large volumes of data can be handled easily.
If entries are changed, then formulas automatically calculate the
new result.
DISADVANTAGES OF SPREADSHEET
It requires a large memory to compute and perform complicated
actions and to do graphs
It has a limited rows and columns in one worksheet.
It requires skill based user small mistake in formula can give
absurd results.
APPLICATIONS OF SPREADSHEETS
Budgeting and forecasting
Portfolio analysis
Scientific research
Financial accounting
Annual reports

organized in logical groups which are collected
together under tabs.
