A computer whether analogue or digital is known to be a device for solving problems automatically, the word "automatically" indicating that there is little human intervention. The data to be processed is entered into the input device, directed to the main processor combining the main memory, control functions and the arithmetic logic link. When obtained, the result is produced by the output device. Storage or memory is one of the principal parts of a computer. Several characteristics distinguish the storage of one computer from that of another. Modern computers being electronic ones, the problems can be solved very quickly. Automatic digital computer is able to perform in each second millions of

additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions following the sequence of instructions given to the machine. It can also perform more advanced mathematical operations such as differentiating, integrating and raising to power. The operations being repeated in various sequences, different problems can be solved. To do this they require special program compiled by programmers.

Before program in high-level languages can be executed by the computer they have to be translated into machine language. To communicate with the outside world the computer should have an input/output system. The input-output equipment being the means of communication between the man and the machine, it is used also to translate the coder's symbols into the internal machine language. The operator (coder) causes the information to be inserted into the input device. This results in bits of information being stored in the storage unit. The information in the storage is changed by the output

device to symbols which the program maker can use directly.
