Qualities of the Computer

Characteristics of the Computer
1. Speed:
The speed of electronic computer is very fast because the signal can pass at the speed of electricity which is near to that speed of light Pe 2.997x108 m/sec. Thus millions of the calculation can be done in a second. Such speed are beyond the comprehension of human brain.

2. Accuracy
The accuracy of computer is consistently high and every calculation is performed with the same accuracy i.e. Almost 100% accurate result are same as per design.

3. Diligence
Computer can perform repetitive task without being bore. Diligence means being constant and earnest in effort and application. It can continuously work for several hours and day after the data and programs are fields in it.

4. Storage
A computer can storage great amount of data. It has data storage area called Memory. Any data stored in memory can be retrieve at any time and at very fast speed.

5. Automatic
Computer is an automatic machine, capable of functioning, automatically, once the appropriate set of instruction and data are provided to the computer.

6. Reliability
Computer System is particularly adept a lot of work without any mistake and tiredness. That's why they are widely used everywhere because of their reliability.

7. Versatility
Computer can perform different tasks depending upon different program fed to it, is known as Versatility. It has wide range of applications areas i.e. it can do many types of jobs. It can perform operations managing from simple mathematical calculation to highly computer and logical multiplication. Some of the applications areas of computer are education, business, technology, banks, etc. So, it is Versatility in nature

8. Word Length
Digital Computer operates one binary digits(bit) combination of 1(one or high) and 0(zero or low) which means all data or information are kept in computer in terms of 0's and 1's. 8 bit is equal to 1 byte. The number of bits that a computer can process
