Introduction to computers

Computer system:
A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions known as "program". It is an electronic machine that helps you to process data. It is used to solve problems related to almost every field such as education , home, medicine , science and technolgy, research, designing and publishing.

A computer system has two main parts:
1. Hardware.
2. Software.
Computer performs various operations to solve problems. To solve these problems, the various units of a computer system must perform and coordinate these operations.

 HARDWARE--
These are the physical uniys of a computer sustem. You can touch and feel them. These units constitute the hardware of a computer.
You know that a computer has following unigs:
1. Input unit.
2. Processing unit.
3. Output unit.
4. Memory unit.

 INPUT UNIT--
Input unit enables you to enter data into a conputer. You alredy know about the most common input devices are:
1.scanner.
  a)Flatbed scanner.
  b)Handheld scanner.
2. MICR(Magnetic Ink Character Recognition).
                                 MICR
OUTPUT UNITS--
Output units enables the computer to show you the desired result and information. You already know about the most common output devices :monitor, printer and speaker. Let's learn about tyoes of printers and some other output devices.
There are mainly three tyoes of printers:
1. Dot matrix printer.
2. Inkjet printer.
3. Laser printer.  
              
                     Laser printer

 SOFTWARE:
These are intangible which are used to make computer user friendly.
Softwares

It is a set of program and a program is consist of instructions.

 If you have any doubts please write it in comments and I will try to solve them.

How nanobots are used as artificial blood?

Nanobots are actually nano-robots  , those robots whose parts are in the size of nanometers. The application of these nanobots is this that they can be used in those areas where it is difficult for human hands. Since now in human body artificial blood can be used which is made of these nanobots . Just like human blood which consist of 1. Red blood cells 2. White blood cells 3. Platelets Function of RED BLOOD CELLS 1. Haemoglobin transports about 97-98% of oxygen from lungs to body tissues as oxyhaemoglobin. 2. Haemoglobin also transports about 23% of carbon dioxide from the body tissues to the lungs as carbaminohaemoglobin. FUNCTION OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS 1. Neutrophils act as soldiers gaurding the body . They eat up invading microbes by phagocytosis.  2. Basophils secrete heparin which prevents coagulation of blood in the blood vessels. 3. Monocytes act as scavengers and eat up damaged and dead cells to keep the body clean. 4. Acidophils help in healing of...

c program for swap two numbers by two ways

We can write the c program for swap in two  ways: 1. by using only two variable, 2. by using three variable. In first we will discuss our first type program i.e. by using only two variable. in this program only two variables are used to swap two numbers, in order to write a program we need to build a logic and after that the program will run. 1.firstly try to solve this program on your own 2.after this try to understand the problem i.e. to swap two numbers 3.now build a logic between two numbers       a=1,b=2    if i write a=b & b=a this is WRONG  way. why this is wrong? A question comes in mind. This is due to the  reason that when a=b (means the value in b is assigned to a) then the value in a will vanish. Now when we wite b=a(means the value in a is assigned to b) but from the above line we came to know that the value of a is vanished and the the value which is in a is of b. so the proper way of making a relation betwee...
