Classification/Types of computer
The grouping of computer on the different attiributes is known as classification o types of computer.Computers can be classified on the basis of function,size,brand and model.
The types of computer on the basis of function or application or use are:

1.Analog Computer
Analog computer measures continuous changing condition such as temperature,voltage,current flow etc,and convert them into quality.Analog computer operate by measuring rather than counting.They are faster but their accuracy is poor as compare to Digital computer.They are mostly used in scientific and engineering field.Plesley is the example of Analog Computer.

2.Digital Computer
Digital computer measures digital(discrete or discontinuous)data and perform arthematic and logical operation on such data.They are slower but their accuracy is high as compare to analog computer.They are mostly used in preparation of report,graphical representation,researation system ,bank cheque processing etc.Digital computer are the most widely used computer.IBM PC is an example of the Digital computer.

3.Hybrid Computer
Hybrid computer is the combination of analog and digital computer.They perform the function of the both analog and digital computer as they combine the features of both computers.Hybrid computers are mostly used in hospital,industries,aeroplanes,scientific research,etc.FMC (Flight Management Computer) is an example of Hybrid Computer.
