Fundamental of Computer
CPU
Its meaning is Central Processing Unit. Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor or Nerve
Centre or heart, but more commonly called processor, the CPU is where mostcalculations take place. The
CPU is the brains of the computer. A central processing unit —also called a central processor or main
processor—is the most important processor in a given computer. Its electronic circuitry executes instructions
of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operations

In terms of computing power, the computer processor is the most important element of a computer
system. It add and compare its data in cpu chip. A CPU of all computers, whether micro, mini or muste
CPU
ALU CU
Parts of CPU
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): It is the part of computer processor (CPU) can be used to
perform arithmetic and logic operations. An arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) is further divided into
two parts, (AU) arithmetic unit and a (LU) logic unit.
Control Unit (CU): Decodes the program instruction. CPU chip used in a computer is
partially made out of Silica. on other words silicon chip used for data processing are called
Micro Processor.
Keyboard -
A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and functions into the computer
system by pressing buttons, or keys. It is the primary device used to enter text. A keyboard typically
contains keys for individual letters, numbers and special characters, as well as keys for specific
functions. A keyboard is connected to a computer system using a cable or ,
6
Most keyboards have a very similar layout. The individual keys for letters, numbers and special
characters are collectively called the character keys. The layout of these keys is derived from the
original layout of keys on a typewriter. The most widely used layout in the English language is called
QWERTY, named after the sequence of the first six letters from the top left.
Mouse:
A computer mouse is a handheld hardware input device that controls a cursor in a GUI and canmove
and select text, icons, files, and folders. For desktop computers, the mouse is placed on a
flat surface such as a mouse pad or a desk and is placed in front of your computer. The picture tothe right
is an example of a desktop computer mouse with two buttons and a whee
The mouse was originally known as the X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System and was
invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1963 while working at Xerox PARC. However, due to Alto's lack of
success, the first widely used application of the mouse was with the Apple Lisa computer. Today, this
pointing device is on virtually every computer.
7
Monitor -
Monitors, commonly called as Visual Display Unit (VDU), are the main output device of a computer.
It forms images from tiny dots, called pixels that are arranged in a rectangular form. The sharpness of
the image depends upon the number of pixels.
A finite number of characters can be displayed on a screen at once. The screen can be divided into a
series of character boxes - fixed location on the screen where a standard character can be placed. Most
screens are capable of displaying 80 characters of data horizontally and 25 lines vertically.
Large in Size
High power consumption
8
Flat-Panel Display Monitor-
The flat-panel display refers to a class of video devices that have reduced volume, weight and power
requirement in comparison to the CRT. You can hang them on walls or wear them on your wrists. Current
uses of flat-panel displays include calculators, video games, monitors, laptop computer, and graphics
display.

Printers :
Printer is an output device, which is used to print information on paper.There are
Impact Printers
Non-Impact Printers
Impact Printers :
Impact printers print the characters by striking them on the ribbon, which is then pressed on thepaper.
Character printers
Line printers
Character Printers
Character printers are the printers which print one character at a time.These
1
Daisy Wheel
Head is lying on a wheel and pins corresponding to characters are like petals of Daisy (flower) which
is why it is called Daisy Wheel Printer. These printers are generally used for word- processing in
offices that require a few letters to be sent here and there with very nice quality.
Line Printers:
Line printers are the printers which print one line at a time.

Drum Printer
Chain Printer
Drum Printer :
This printer is like a drum in shape hence it is called drum printer. The surface of the drum is divided
into a number of tracks. Total tracks are equal to the size of the paper, i.e. for a paper width of 132
characters, drum will have 132 tracks. A character set is embossed on the track. Different character
sets available in the market are 48 character set, 64 and 96 characters set. One rotation of drum prints
one line. Drum printers are fast in speed and can print 300 to 2000 lines per minute.
Chain Printer:
In this printer, a chain of character sets is used, hence it is called Chain Printer. A standardcharacter set
may have 48, 64, or 96 characters.
Non-impact Printers:
Non-impact printers print the characters without using the ribbon. These printers print acomplete page
at a time, thus they are also called as Page Printers.
Laser Printers
Inkjet Printers
Characteristics of Non-impact Printers :
Faster than impact printers
They are not noisy
High quality
Supports many fonts and different character size
1
Laser Printers:
These are non-impact page printers. They use laser lights to produce the dots
Inkjet Printers :
Inkjet printers are non-impact character printers based on a relatively new technology. They print
characters by spraying small drops of ink onto paper. Inkjet printers produce high quality output with
presentable features.
They make less noise because no hammering is done and these have many styles of printing modes
available. Color printing is also possible. Some models of Inkjet printers can produce of

Storage Devices
A USB Flash Drive is a small, ultra-portable storage device which is used to store data and transfer
information. Flash drives are also called as pen-drives, jump-drives, and thumb-drives. Basically, every
USB flash drive are re-writable and removable. Actually, USB Flash Drive is robust because there are
no moving parts. At the time of First stage the size of USB Flash Drive was just like 8 MB and now the
size of USB Flash Drive is just like 2 GB to 1 TB.
1 - Memory Cards
A Memory Card is a small storage device just like 16 MB to 64 GB and this storage device is used for
storing media and data files. Memory card is Non-Volatile, permanent storage device which is used
inside of Phone, Camera, and many other electronic devices. There are so many types of memory card
in market, and it's totally depended on size.

CD (Compact Disk) :
The CD was created by Pilips factory in Germany on august,1982. Compact Disk is the full formof CD,
it‘s looks like a flat, round and the measures of standard CD is 120 millimeters and across
1.2 mm thick. The size of Compact Disk is 650 Megabytes to 700 Megabytes. A compact Disk isa
portable storage medium that can store audio, video, picture, and also Data.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
IBM company‘s engineer created the first Hard Disk Drive in 1953.The size of Hard Disk was just like
two refrigerators. A Hard Disk Drive is a non-volatile secondary storage device, here data can store
permanently. unlike RAM, it is non-volatile means data is retained when the computer is turned off. A
Hard Disk Drive is actually a set of stacked disks. The first production IBM hard Disk was 305 disk
storage which was shipped in 1957.

Windows Operating System :
The operating system window is the extension of the disk operating system. It is the most popular and
simplest operating system; it can be used by any person who can read and understand basic English, as
it does not require any special training.
However, the Windows Operating System requires DOS to run the various application programs
initially. Because of this reason, DOS should be installed into the memory and then window can be
executed.
Elements of Windows OS
Following are the significant element of Windows Operating System (WOS) −
Many of the options have shortcut icon readily available on your computer screen; however, in some
computers, you may not find any such option on the screen; in such a case, you can take the help of
menu button (as shown in the image given below) −
1
Start MenuOptions
The following table lists down the options that appear after clicking on the Start menu −
1. All programs
2. Document
1
It displays all the installed computer programs (software).
8. Printer
It displays the installed printers (if printer is installed in the system, user can takeprint
easily).
9. Help (support)
It helps users to know how to do a particular task.
10. Search
It helps a user to find a file in computer.
11. Run
It helps to start an application program or execute a DOS command.
12. Setting
It has different options that help to manage different settings of the computer,software as
well as hardware.
13. Log Off
It helps a user to log off the currently logged in user of the system.
14. Sleep
It makes the system non-functional; however, puts the ongoing work and settings in
memory and also keeps drawing small amount of power.
15. Hibernation
Hibernation puts the open documents and programs on hard disk and then turns offyour
computer; in comparison to ‗sleep‘, it uses very low power.
16. Restart
Its function is to shut down and again start (log on) computer; it is done normally torefresh
computer especially when computer is hanged.
17. Shut down
It simply shuts down the system.
Recycle Bin
Recycle Bin is a trash location where deleted files remain stored. Once you delete any sort of file, it
gets stored (automatically) into recycle bin; therefore, if you mistakenly deleted some important file,
don‘t panic, go to recycle bin and restore it. However, ifyou deleted file from recycle bin as well,
then it is very difficult to restore that permanently deleted file.

Accessories
Windows operating system ships with some handy applications known as Windowsaccessories.
Calculator, Notepad, Paint, Explorer, WordPad are some of the most frequently used accessories.
Calculator
Windows Calculator is a calculating application included in all the versions of Windows. It canbe
used to perform simple calculation, scientific calculation and Programming calculation.
Choose Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Calculator to start Calculator application,
or
2
Alternately you can open Run dialog box (Start >> Run) dialog box then type calc and hit
enter.
From View menu choose the required type of calculator – Standard, Scientific,
Programmer, Statistical
Edit >> Copy and Paste commands can be used to input the numbers into calculator or
paste the result to other applications
Calculator was first included with Windows 1.0 as a simple arithmetic calculator. In Windows 3.0, a
Scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial- based functions,
trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic
operations, Statistic functions such as single variable statistics and linearregression.
Paint
Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been included
with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The
program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome)
.BMP, JPEG, GIF. Paintbrush supports GIF without animation ortransparency. Since Windows 98
Paint supports GIF with transparency. It also supports PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF (without
multiple page support).
The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For
its simplicity, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in
2
the early versions of Windows—introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time—and
still has strong associations with the immediate usability of the old Windows workspace.
Notepad
Notepad is a common text-only (plain text) editor. The resulting files—typically saved with the
.txt extension—have no format tags or styles, making the program suitable for editing system
files that are to be used in a DOS environment.
Notepad supports both left-to-right and right-to-left based languages, and one can alternate between
these viewing formats by using the right or left Ctrl+Shift keys to go to right-to-left format or left-to-
right format, respectively.
WordPad
2
Microsoft WordPad is a free rich text editor included with Microsoft Windows 95 and thelater. Earlier
to Windows 95 there used to be an application called Write for the same task. Although capable of
doing much more than Notepad, WordPad is not as advanced as Microsoft Word.
WordPad can format and print text, but lacks intermediate features such as a spell checker, thesaurus,
and support for tables. As such, it is suitable for writing letters or short pieces, but underpowered for
work that relies heavily on graphics or typesetting.
Control Panel
The Control Panel is a section of Microsoft Windows that enables a user to change various
computer hardware and software features. Settings for the mouse, display, sound, network, and
keyboard represent just a few examples of what may be modified in the Control Panel. Below the
Control Panel appeared in Windows.

Important components of the screen:
1. Title bar: - The title bar displayed the name of the currently active word document like other
windows applications.
2. Toolbar: - Word has a number of tool bar that help you perform task faster and with great
easy two of the most commonly toolbar are the formatting toolbar and the standard toolbar.
3. Ruler bar:- the ruler bar allows you to format the vertical alignment of text in a document.
4. Status bar:- The status bar displays information about the currently activate document. This
includes the page no. that you are working.
5. Scroll bar:- This bar helps scroll the content or body of document.
6. Work space:- The work space is the document windows where you enter/type the text of
your document.
7. Main menu:- The word main menu is displayed at the top if the screen.

Saving New Document
Once you are done with typing in your new Word document, it is time to save your document to avoid
losing work you have done on a Word document. Following are the steps to save an edited Word
document −
Step 1 − Click the File tab and select the Save As option.
Step 2 − Select a folder where you will like to save the document, Enter the file name which
you want to give to your document and Select the Save Asoption, by default it is
the .docx format.

Step 3 − Finally, click on the Save button and your document will be saved with the entered
name in the selected folder.
There may be an instance when you open an existing document and edit it partially or
completely, or an instance where you may like to save the changes in between editing of the
document. If you want to save this document with the same name, then you can use either of the
following simple options −
Optionally you can click on the floppy icon available at the top left corner and just above
the File tab. This option will also help you save the changes.
You can also use the third method to save the changes, which is the Save option
available just above the Save As option as shown in the above screenshot.

If your document is new and it was never saved so far, then with either of the three options, Word will
display a dialogue box to let you select a folder, and enter the document name as explained in case of
saving new document.
View Buttons
The group of five buttons located to the left of the Zoom control, near the bottom of the screen, lets
you switch through the Word's various document views.
Print Layout view: This displays pages exactly as they will appear when printed.
Full Screen Reading view: This gives a full screen view of the document.
Web Layout view: This shows how a document appears when viewed by a Web
browser, such as Internet Explorer.
Outline view: This lets you work with outlines established using Word‘s standard
heading styles.
Draft view: This formats text as it appears on the printed page with a few exceptions.
For example, headers and footers aren't shown. Most people prefer this mode.

MS Excel
Microsoft Excel is a very powerful tool for you to use for numeric computations and analysis Excel can
also function as a simple database but that is another class. Today we will look at how to get starting
with Excel and show you around the neighborhood sort of speak.
In Excel 2007, the new Office Fluent user interface replaces the traditional menus and toolbars from
previous versions of Excel with a single mechanism designed to help users find theright features more
efficiently.

Open a New Workbook
Sometimes you have to create a new workbook.
1. Click on the Office Button
2. Click on New
You are now able to open recently used or new workbooks from this panel. You can also open
up templates that are available with Excel or ones that you create. If you click on Blank
Workbook, Excel will create a new workbook for you.
Selecting a cell

Basic data entry, fill handle
From the example, we have numeric (year, numbers) and text (months) entered as data in our
worksheet. Let us practice by re-creating the example on our own.
Method 1
1. Click on cell A2 to select it.
2. Type in 1981 and hit Enter. Notice by hitting Enter, we automatically move down to the
next row. (we can also do the same by hitting the down arrow)
3. Click on cell B1 to select it.
4. Type in January and hit Tab. By hitting Tab (or right arrow), we move to the next
column.
We can continue to doing this to enter the data from 1981 to 1992 and so on, but Excel provides
us with a tool to complete sequences.
Method 2:

Copy, Cut, Paste
You can Copy, Cut and Paste anything into your worksheet. You can copy from one worksheet to
another worksheet in another book. Let‘s concentrate on the basics. We are going to copy cells D4 to
H9.
You can also use the toolbar shortcuts for cut/copy/paste as the functionality is the same.
We want to insert a new row for Anne Frank‘s contact information between John Doe 1. And Fred
Johnson but this time we will create her record in line 5.
1. Select cells A1 to G5
2. Go to the Data tab, then click on Sort
3. In the sort option window, use the pull down boxes to select the sort criteria. In this case
we want to sort by Last Name, ascending order A-Z, then click on OK.

Inserting & deleting new worksheets
There will be many times when you need to add a whole worksheet rather than columns or rows.
Insert a worksheet
1. Right Click on the tabs where the name of the worksheets are.
2. Click on Insert
3. Select what kind of insert you want from the window.
4. To move the worksheet, click and hold the left mouse button on the worksheet tab. Drag
the tab to where you want it to be placed. Note: you can only move the worksheet tabs to
the left or right.
Delete a worksheet
Printing
Printing your worksheets out to a printer would be a nice thing to know how to do. If the information
that you have on the worksheet fits on an 8.5‖x11‖ paper, you have no trouble printing your worksheet
out. The problem arises when you have a larger worksheet. You may have noticed that your worksheet
has dashed lines running down and across it; this is your print area.

Web browser & E-Mail
A web browser is a software application which enables a user to display and interact withtext, images,
videos, music, and other information that could be on a website. Text and imageson awe page can
contain hyperlinks to other web pages at the same or different website. Web browsers allow a user to
quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages atman websites by traversing these
links. Web browsers format HTML information for displays the appearance of a web page many differ
between browsers.
Purpose:
Web browser defines the application software that is designed for the Web browser is used to run the
software application that allows retrieving, presenting and traversing the information from one place to
another Web browser provides the resources using the WWW (World Wide Web) this can be identified
by URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).Web browser fetches the data like web page, image, video or
other piece of content from the server and displays it accordingly Web browser uses hyperlinks to
display the resources and allow the users to navigate their browsers user to access and retrieve the
documents using the Internet.
Web browsers communicated with web servers primarily using HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) to
fetch web pages. HTTP allows web browsers to submit information to web serversas well as fetch
web pages from them. Pages are identified by means of a URL (uniform resource locater), which is
treated as an address, beginning with ―http://‖ for HTTP access. The file format for a web page is
usually HTML (hyper-text markup language) and is identified in the HTTP protocol. Most web
browsers also support a variety of additional formats, such aspen, PNG, and GIF image formats, and
can be extended to support more through the use of plug-in. The combination of HTTP content type
and URL protocol specification allows webpage designers to embed images, animations, video, sound,
and streaming media into a webpage, or to make them accessible through the web page.
Popular Browsers
1. Firefox
Firefox is a very popular web browser. One of the great things about Firefox is that it is supported on
all different OSs. Firefox is also open source which makes its support group Avery large community of
open source developers. Firefox is also known for its vast range of plugins/add-ons that let the user
customize in a variety of ways. Firefox is a product of the
3
Mozilla Foundation. The latest version of Firefox is Firefox 3.Some of Firefox‘s most prominent
features includes: tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download
manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user‘s favorite search engine. Like mentioned
before, one of the best things about Firefox is its vast amount of plugging/add- ons. Some of the most
popular include No Script (script blocker), Foxy Tunes (controls music players), Ad block Plus (ad
blocker), Stumble Upon (website discovery), Down Them All! (Download functions), and Web
Developer (web tools).
2. Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (IE - created by Microsoft) is a very prominent web browser for the Windows. IE is
the most popular web browser. It comes pre-installed on all Windows computers. The latest version of
IE is IE7 with IE8 in beta. IE was designed to view a broad range of web pages and to provide certain
features within the OS.IE almost fully supports HTML 4.01, CSS Level 1, XML 1.0, and DOM Level
1. It has introduced a number of proprietary extensions to many of the standards. This has resulted in
number of web pages that can only be viewed properly using IE. It has been subject to many security
vulnerabilities just like Windows has. Much of the spyware, adware, and viruses across the Internet are
made possible by exploitable bugs and flaws in the security architecture of IE.These are drive-by
downloads come into play (see computer security lesson for more details on that).
3. Others
Safari (created by Apple) is a very popular web browser among Apple computers. Safari is also the
native browser on the phone and iPod touch. Safari is available for Windows, but has not reached a
very high level of Windows users since. In May 2008 Safari controlled 6.25% of market share among
all web browsers. Opera (created by the Opera Software Company) is another fairly popular web
browser. It handles common Internet-related tasks. Opera also includes features such as tabbed
browsing, page zooming, mouse gestures, and an integrated download manager. Its security features
include phishing and malware protection, strong encryption when browsing secure web sites, and the
ability to easily delete private data such as cookies and browsing history. Opera runs on Windows, OS
X, and Linux.
