Resume• A computer is a machine that performs computations, logical operations, and data

manipulation according to some prescribed sequence of instructions called computer program .

• The physical components of a computer are called hardware .• The programs that run on a computer are called software .• The central processing unit ( CPU ) is that part of the computer that performs most

calculations and makes decisions.• The arithmetic and logic unit ( ALU ) is the part of the CPU that performs

arithmetical calculations.• The control unit ( CU ) coordinates the calculations of the ALU and the movement of

data between the CPU and RAM.• The clock determines how frequently the computer hardware executes instructions.• A computer stores data in binary format , i.e., as a sequence of 0’s and 1’s.• A single 0 or 1 is called a bit ; a sequence of eight bits is called a byte .

How to Start Learning Computer Programming

1. Start with a good book or tutorial on programming2. Get a compiler/interpreter/IDE for the programming

language your book uses3. Read the book!4. Try putting together your own ideas to form a working

program5. Once you start actively programming in your first language,

you may want to learn a second one6. Continue programming and trying new things7. Learn how to type - This is very essential as it is make your

programming very fast and effective
