It accepts data, processes thedata by doing some mathematical and logical operations and gives us the desired output.The definition of computer can be traced under its name also:COMPUTERC- CommonU- Used forO- OperatingT- Trade/ technicalM- MachineE- Educational andP- ParticularlyR- ResearchLet us begin with the word ‘compute’. It means ‘to calculate’. We all are familiar with calculations in our daytoday life. We apply mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. And many otherformulae for calculations. Simpler calculations take less time.
But complex calculations take much longertime.Ex- 2218 x 8Another factor is accuracy in calculations. So man explored with the idea to develop a machine which canperform this type of arithmetic calculation faster and with full accuracy. This gave birth to a device ormachine called ‘computer’.The first recorded use of the word “computer” was in 1613 in a book called “The young men gleanings” byEnglish writer Richard Braithwait. It referred to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, andthe word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19thcentury the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computationsThe computer we see today is quite different from the one made in the beginning. The number of applicationsof a computer has increased, the speed and accuracy of calculation has increased. You must appreciate theimpact of computers in our day to day life.
Reservation of tickets in Air Lines and Railways, payment oftelephone and electricity bills, deposits and withdrawals of money from banks, business data processing,medical diagnosis, weather forecasting, etc. Are some of the areas where computer has become extremelyuseful. However, there is one limitation of the computer. Human beings do calculations on their own.
Butcomputer is a dumb machine and it has to be given proper instructions to carry out its calculation. Before wego ahead we must know the journey of computer. I must say you will find it a bit interest. So let’s ride inHistory.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666History of computer could be traced back to the effort of man to count large numbers. This process ofcounting of large numbers generated various systems of numeration like Babylonian system of numeration,Greek system of numeration, Roman system of numeration and Indian system of numeration. Out of thesethe Indian system of numeration has been accepted universally.
It is the basis of modern decimal system ofnumeration (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9). You should know computer solves all calculations based ondecimal system. But you will be surprised to know that the computer does not understand the decimalsystem and uses binary system of numeration for processing. We will briefly discuss some of the pathbreaking inventions in the field of computing devices.HISTORY OF COMPUTERCalculating Machines:ABACUS:The first calculating device called Sumerian ABACUS was developed by the Egyptian andChinese people designed around 2500 B.C.
The word ABACUS means calculating board. Itconsisted of sticks in horizontal positions on which were inserted sets of pebbles. A modernform of ABACUS is given in Fig. It has a number of horizontal bars each having ten beads.Horizontal bars represent units, tens, hundreds, etc.
You may see this in slates of kids.Napier’s bones:English mathematician John Napier built a mechanical device for the purpose of multiplication in 1617 A D.The device was known as Napier’s bones.Slide Rule:English mathematician Edmund Gunter developed the slide rule. This machine could perform operations likeaddition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It was widely used in Europe in 1620. It was also carriedon five Apollo Space missions including the moon mission.Pascal's Adding and Subdirectory Machine:Pascaline or Pascal’s Calculator was invented by Mr. Blaise Pascal in 1642.Addition and subtraction were carried out by using a series of very light rotatingwheels.
His system is still used today in car odometers which track a car’smileage. The machine consisted of wheels, gears and cylinders.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666Arithmometer:In 1851, Thomas de clomar released Arithmometer it became the first commercial computing machine. As itwas reliable enough for daily office environment.Leibniz’s Multiplication and Dividing Machine:The German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz built around 1673 a mechanical device thatcould both multiply and divide.Babbage’s Analytical Engine:It was in the year 1823 that a famous English man Charles Babbage built amechanical machine to do complex mathematical calculations. It was calleddifference engine. Later he developed a general-purpose calculating machine calledanalytical engine. You should know that Charles Babbage is called The Father ofComputer. Because he changed the basic concept of computer.
Feb 12, 2016 VT20X The next generation of Valvetronix! The VT20X features a brand new modeling engine and sounds even better than ever! By using VET (Virtual Element Technology), which is based on an analysis of the components and amp circuits themselves, VTX amplifiers produce the most accurate and realistic amplifier sounds to date. Is it possible to create a loop with the valvetronix vt 20. The VOX Valvetronix + Series VT20+ A guitar modeling amplifier featuring 99 ready-to-play presets, a massive infusion of effects, plus an all-new Power Level control.
BecauseBabbage was so far ahead of the times that the technology was not in place tomanufacture the parts for his machine so he was only able to build a small model. The same was actuallybuilt by his son Henry Babbage & 1888 named The Mill. The first successful demonstration of the same wasgiven in 1906.Mechanical and Electrical Calculator:In the beginning of 19th century the mechanical calculator was developed to perform all sorts ofmathematical calculations. Up to the 1960s it was widely used.
Later the rotating part of mechanicalcalculator was replaced by electric motor. So it was called the electrical calculator.The history doesn’t end here. Actually after the analytical engine computer took a rapid change.
Now we havea completely different computer with us. Today we have computer everywhere.As mentioned in the introduction it can do arithmetic calculations faster. But as you will see later it doesmuch more than that. It can be compared to a magic box, which serves different purpose to different people.For a common man computer is simply a calculator, which works automatic and quite fast. For a person whoknows much about it.Therefore, we may define computer as a device that transforms data. Data can be anything like marksobtained by you in various subjects.
It can also be name, age, sex, weight, height, etc. Of all the students inyour class or income, savings, investments, etc., of a country.
Computer can be defined in terms of itsfunctions. It can i) accept data ii) store data, iii) process data as desired, and iv) retrieve the stored data asand when required v) print the result in desired format. You will know more about these functions as.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666CHARACTERISTICS OF A COMPUTERLet us identify the major characteristics of computer. These can be discussed under the headings of speed,accuracy, diligence, versatility and memory.Speed:As you know computer can work very fast. It takes only few seconds for calculations that we take hours toComplete. Suppose you are asked to calculate the average monthly income of one thousand persons in yourNeighborhood. For this you have to add income from all sources for all persons on a day to day basis andfind out the average for each one of them.
How long will it take for you to do this? One day, two days or oneweek? Do you know your small computer can finish this work in few seconds? The weather forecasting thatyou see every day on TV is the results of compilation and analysis of huge amount of data on temperature,humidity, pressure, etc.
Of various places on computers. It takes few minutes for the computer to processthis huge amount of data and give the result. You will be surprised to know that computer can performmillions (1,000,000) of instructions and even more per second. Therefore, we determine the speed ofcomputer in terms of microsecond (10-6 part of a second) or nano-second (10-9 part of a second). From thisyou can imagine how fast your computer performs work.Accuracy:Suppose someone calculates faster but commits a lot of errors in computing. Such result is useless.
There isanother aspect. Suppose you want to divide 15 by 7.
You may work out up to 2 decimal places and say theDividend is 2.14. I may calculate up to 4 decimal places and say that the result is 2.1428. Someone else maygo up to 9 decimal places and say the result is 2.142857143. Hence, in addition to speed, the computershould have accuracy or correctness in computing.The degree of accuracy of computer is very high and every calculation is performed with the same accuracy.The accuracy level is determined on the basis of design of computer. The errors in computer are due tohuman and inaccurate data.Diligence:A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours without creatingany error. If millions of calculations are to be performed, a computer will perform every calculation with thesame accuracy.

Due to this capability it overpowers human being in routine type of work.Versatility:It means the capacity to perform completely different type of work. You may use your computer to preparepayroll slips.
Next moment you may use it for inventory management or to prepare electric bills and if you aregetting boar just play games on your computer on different screen or listen songs simultaneously with yourwork.No Feeling:It does not have feelings or emotion, taste, knowledge and experience. Thus it does not get tired even afterlong hours of work. It does not distinguish between users.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666Power of Remembering:Computer has the power of storing any amount of information or data. Any information can be stored andrecalled as long as you require it, for any numbers of years. It depends entirely upon you how much data youwant to store in a computer and when to lose or retrieve these data.No IQ:Computer is a dumb machine and it cannot do any work without instruction from the user.
It performs theinstruction at tremendous speed and with accuracy. It is you to decide what you want to do and in whatsequence. So a computer cannot take its own decision as you can.Storage:The Computer has an in-built memory where it can store a large amount of data. You can also store data insecondary storage devices such as floppies, which can be kept outside your computer and can be carried toother computers.GENERATIONS OF COMPUTERFIRST GENERATION (1951-1958)You know that the evolution of computer started from 16th century and resulted in the form that we seetoday. The present day computer, however, has also undergone rapid change during the last fifty years. Thisperiod, during which the evolution of computer took place, can be divided into five distinct phases known asGenerations of Computers. Each phase is distinguished from others on the basis of the type of switchingcircuits used.First Generation ComputersFirst generation computers used Thermion valves.
These computers were large in size and writing programson them was difficult. Some of the computers of this generation were:ENIAC: It was the first electronic computer built in 1946 at University of Pennsylvania, USA by John Eckertand John Mauchy. It was named Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC).
The ENIAC was30 50 feet long, weighed 30 tons, contained 18,000 vacuum tubes, 70,000 registers 10,000 capacitors andrequired 150,000 watts of electricity. Today your favorite computer is many times as powerful as ENIAC, stillsize is very small.EDVAC: It stands for Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer and was developed in 1950. Theconcept of storing data and instructions inside the computer was introduced here. This allowed much fasteroperation since the computer had rapid access to both data and instructions. The other advantages of storinginstruction were that computer could do logical decision internally.Other Important Computers of First Generation:EDSAC: It stands for Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer and was developed by M.V. Wilkes atCambridge University in 1949.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666UNIVAC-1: Ecker and Mauchly produced it in 1951 by Universal Accounting Computer setup.Limitations of First Generation Computer:Followings are the major drawbacks of First generation computers.1. The operating speed was quite slow.2.
Power consumption was very high.3. It required large space for installation.4.
The programming capability was quite low.SECOND GENERATION COMPUTERS (1959-1964)Around 1955 a device called Transistor replaced the bulky electric tubes in the first generation computer.Transistors are smaller than electric tubes and have higher operating speed. They have no filament andrequire no heating. Manufacturing cost was also very low. Thus the size of the computer got reducedconsiderably. It is in the second generation that the concept of Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory,programming language and input and output units were developed. The programming languages such asCOBOL, FORTRAN were developed during this period.
Some of the computers of the Second Generation were1. IBM 1620: Its size was smaller as compared to First Generation computers and mostly used for scientificpurpose.2. IBM 1401: Its size was small to medium and used for business applications.3.
CDC 3600: Its size was large and is used for scientific purposes.THIRD GENERATION COMPUTERS (1965-1970)The third generation computers were introduced in 1964. They used Integrated Circuits (ICs). These ICs arepopularly known as Chips. A single IC has many transistors, registers and capacitors built on a single thinslice of silicon. So it is quite obvious that the size of the computer got further reduced. Some of thecomputers developed during this period were IBM-360, ICL-1900, IBM-370, and VAX-750. Higher levellanguage such as BASIC (Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was developed during thisperiod.
Computers of this generation were small in size, low cost, large memory and processing speed is veryhigh.FOURTH GENERATION COMPUTERS (1970- ONWARDS)The present day computers that you see today are the fourth generation computers that started around1975. It uses large scale Integrated Circuits (LSIC) built on a single silicon chip called microprocessors.
Dueto the development of microprocessor it is possible to place computer’s central processing unit (CPU) on singlechip. These computers are called microcomputers. Later very large scale Integrated Circuits (VLSIC) replacedLSICs.
Thus the computer which was occupying a very large room in earlier days can now be placed on atable. The personal computer (PC) that you see in your school is a Fourth Generation Computer.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666FIFTH GENERATION COMPUTER (PRESENT AND BEYOND) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEThe computers of 1990s are said to be Fifth Generation computers. The speed is extremely high in fifthgeneration computer.

I have seen nothing that gives details on how to build up your characters. As for builds, I'm not the best so I'll leave that to someone else. I should warn you, however, that KOTOR 2 has a lot of skill checks.
Apart from this it can perform parallel processing. The concept of Artificial intelligencehas been introduced to allow the computer to take its own decision.
It is still in a developmental stage.BASICCOMPUTEROPERATIONA computer performs basically five major operations or functions irrespective of their size and make. Theseare 1) it accepts data or instructions by way of input, 2) it stores data, 3) it can process data as required bythe user, 4) it gives results in the form of output, and 5) it controls all operations inside a computer. Wediscuss below each of these operations.1. Input: This is the process of entering data and programs in to the computer system.
You should knowthat Computer is an electronic machine like any other machine which takes as inputs raw data and performssome Processing giving out processed data. Therefore, the input unit takes data from us to the computer inan organized manner for processing.2. Storage: The process of saving data and instructions permanently is known as storage. Data has to be fedinto the system before the actual processing starts. It is because the processing speed of Central ProcessingUnit (CPU) is so fast that the data has to be provided to CPU with the same speed. Therefore the data is firststored in the storage unit for faster access and processing. This storage unit or the primary storage of thecomputer system is designed to do the above functionality.
It provides space for storing data andinstructions.The storage unit performs the following major functions:. All data and instructions are stored here before and after processing.
Intermediate results of processing are also stored here.3. Processing: The task of performing operations like arithmetic and logical operations is called processing.The Central Processing Unit (CPU) takes data and instructions from the storage unit and makes all sorts ofcalculations based on the instructions given and the type of data provided. It is then sent back to the storageunit.4. Output: This is the process of producing results from the data for getting useful information. Similarly theoutput produced by the computer after processing must also be kept somewhere inside the computer beforebeing given to you in human readable form. Again the output is also stored inside the computer for furtherprocessing.5. Control: The manner how instructions are executed and the above operations are performed.
Controllingof all operations like input, processing and output are performed by control unit. It takes care of step by stepprocessing of all operations inside the computer.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666TYPESOFCOMPUTERSWhen most people hear the word 'computer' they think of a personal computer such as a desktop or laptopcomputer. However, computers come in many shapes and sizes, and they perform many different functionsin our daily lives.
When you withdraw cash from an ATM, scan groceries at the store, or use a calculator,you're using a type of computer.Desktop ComputersMany people use desktop computers at work, home, school, or the library. They can be small, medium, orlarge in style, and usually sit on a desk. Once you add a monitor, mouse, and akeyboard, you have what is typically known as a desktop computer.Most desktop computers are easy to upgrade and expand, or add new parts.Another benefit of desktop computers is the cost.
If you compare a desktop anda laptop with the same features, you will most likely find that the desktopcomputer is priced lower.Some desktop computers have a built-in monitor to save space. These are often called all-in-one desktopcomputers.Laptop ComputersThe second type of computer that you may be familiar with is a laptop computer or laptops as they are oftenreferred to. Laptops are battery or AC-powered personal computers that are moreportable than desktop computers, allowing you to use them almost anywhere.Since a laptop is smaller than a desktop, it's more difficult to access the internalcomponents. That means you may not be able to upgrade them as much as a desktop.However, it's usually possible to add more RAM or a bigger hard drive.A laptop computer is sometimes called a notebook computer because of its size.ServersA server is a computer that 'serves up' information to other computers on a network. Many businesses havefile servers that employees can use to store and share files. A server can look like a regular desktopcomputer, or it can be much larger.Servers also play an important role in making the internet work: they are where web pages are stored. Whenyou use your browser to click a link, a web server delivers the page you requested.Other Types of ComputersToday, there lots of everyday devices that is basically specialized computers, even though we don't alwaysthink of them as computers.
Here are a few common examples:Tablet Computers: These use a touch-sensitive screen for typing andnavigation. Since they don't require a keyboard or mouse, tablet computersare even more portable than laptops. The i Pad is an example of a tabletcomputer.Mobile Phones: Many mobile phones can do a lot of things a computer can do, such asbrowsing the internet or playing games. These phones are often called smartphones.Ex- Samsung Galaxy series.COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL BY RITESH KHETAN- 8349 333 666Game Consoles: A game console is a specialized kind of computer that is used for playing videogames. Although they are not as fully-featured as a desktop computer, many newer consoles allowyou to do non-gaming tasks like browsing the internet.TVs: Many TVs now include applications (or apps) that let you accessvarious types of online content. For example, you can view your Facebooknews feed or watch streaming movies on NetflixPCs and MacsPersonal computers come in two main 'styles': PC and Mac.
Both styles are fully functional, but they dohave a different look and feel, and many people prefer one or the other.PC: This type of computer began with the original IBM PC that wasintroduced in 1981. Today, this is the most common type of personalcomputer, and it typically includes the Microsoft Windows operatingsystem.Mac: The Macintosh computer was introduced in 1984, and it was the firstwidely sold personal computer with a Graphical User Interface, or GUI(pronounced gooey). All Macs are made by one company, Apple Inc., and theyalmost always use the Mac OS X operating system. Although PC can refer toany personal computer, including Macs.About This TutorialIn this tutorial, we'll mostly be focusing on PCs and the Windows operating system. If you're using a Mac,you may notice some differences with the way that your computer works.
