 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First of all, I am immensely indebted to almighty God for his
blessings and grace without which I could not have undertaken
this task and my efforts would never had been a success. I would
like to thank the management for the academic and technical
support.
I humbly consider a privilege and honour to express my heartiest
and profound gratitude to Mr. Raj Paulson Shekhar, Principal,
Zoom International School, Durgapur for his appropriate
direction, valuable suggestions, under judging assistance so
generously extended to me.
Above all, I wish to express my deepest feelings of gratitude to
Sourav Paul, Sajal Gorai and Lina Mukherjee madam without
whom this project would have never taken place. I am deeply
grateful for her help, valuable guidance and support. Her in-depth
knowledge and vast experience proved to be the guiding light
throughout the course of my project.
I also owe a sense of gratitude to my parents for the
encouragement and support throughout the project

 INTRODUCTION
 Introduction to Computer System
A computer is an electronic device that can be programmed to
accept data (input), process it and generate result (output). A
computer along with additional hardware and software together
is called a computer system.
A computer system primarily comprises a central processing
unit (CPU), memory, input/output devices and storage devices.
All these components function together as a single unit to
deliver the desired output. A computer system comes in various
forms and sizes. It can vary from a high-end server to personal
desktop, laptop, tablet computer, or a smartphone.
Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram of a computer system. The
directed lines represent the flow of data and signal between the
components.

 Hardware:
The physical electronic components of a computer are called
hardware, e.g., keyboard, CPU, monitor, printer, etc.

7
 Software:
These are recorded instructions and programs that govern the
working of a computer. A program is a set of instructions to
carry out a specific task or achieve a special work goal.

 MAJOR COMPONENTS
OF THE COMPUTER
SYSTEM
1.Central Processing Unit (CPU)
It is the electronic circuitry of a computer that carries out the actual
processing and usually referred as the brain of the computer. It is
commonly called processor also. Physically, a CPU can be placed
on one or more microchips called
integrated circuits (IC). The ICs comprise
semiconductor materials. The CPU is
given instructions and data through
programs. The CPU then fetches the
program and data from the memory and
performs arithmetic and logic operations
as per the given instructions and stores the
result back to memory. While processing, the CPU stores the data
as well as instructions in its local memory called registers.
Registers are part of the CPU chip and they are limited in size and
number.
2.Random Access Memory (RAM)
It is volatile, i.e., as long as the power is supplied to the
computer, it retains the data in it. But as soon as the power
supply is turned off, all the contents of
RAM are wiped out. It is used to store data
temporarily while the computer is
working. Whenever the computer is started
or a software application is launched, the
9
required program and data are loaded into RAM for processing.
RAM is usually referred to as main memory and it is faster than
the secondary memory or storage devices.

3.Motherboard
A motherboard (also called mainboard, main circuit
board, MB, board, backplane board, base board, system board, or
in Apple computers logic
board) is the main printed
circuit board (PCB) in general-
purpose computers and other
expandable systems. It holds
and allows communication
between many of the crucial
electronic components of a
system, such as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory,
and provides connectors for other peripherals. Unlike a backplane,
a motherboard usually contains significant sub-systems, such as
the central processor, the chipset's input/output and memory
controllers, interface connectors, and other components integrated
for general use.
4.Hard Drive
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk,
[b]
is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and
retrieves digital data using magnetic
storage with one or more rigid rapidly
rotating platters coated with magnetic
material. The platters are paired
with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a
moving actuator arm, which read and write
10
data to the platter surfaces.[2] Data is accessed in a random-
access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be
stored and retrieved in any order. HDDs are a type of non-
volatile storage, retaining stored data when powered off.
Modern HDDs are typically in the form of a small rectangular
box.
5.Monitor
A computer monitor is an electronic device that displays what's
what programs are running on your
computer so a user can see. Some
computer technicians may wear anti-static
gloves when handling computer monitors
to avoid static electricity. They may also
troubleshoot monitor issues by
disconnecting it from the computer and
trying a new power cord.
6.Printer
This is a machine that produces copies of text or images on
paper using ink. Popular printers include
laser or inkjet and computer technicians
may be skilled in troubleshooting issues
across multiple brands and varieties.
Computer technicians may service
printers including verifying power is
running to the machine. They may also
check to see if the paper tray is full and
ready for printing. Technicians might replace or refill any ink
cartridges and toner.

11
 7.Network Card
The fifth major component of
computer is the network card.
Network card would be separate card
or integrated into the motherboard.
The major work of network card is to
enable your computer to connect to
the network and Internet.
Many computers have an integrated
network card into the motherboard. If you are using a laptop,
you can also choose to connect Wi-Fi networks through a Wi-Fi
card which is usually close to the outer edges of the devices.

12
 MENU DRIVEN
PROGRAMS
Write a menu driven program on factorial of a number and
volume of a sphere.
Ans:
print("1.Factorial of a number.")
print("2.Volume of a sphere.")
ch=int(input("Enter your choice: "))
if ch==1:
a=int(input("Enter a number: "))
f=1
c=a
while(a>=1):
f=f*a
a=a-1
print("Factorial of",c, "is",f)
elif ch==2:
import math
r=int(input("Enter the radius: "))
v=4/3*22/7*math.pow(r,3)
print("Volume = ",v)

13
Output
#1.
1.Factorial of a number.
2.Volume of a sphere.
Enter your choice: 1
Enter a number: 5
Factorial of 5 is 120
#2.
1.Factorial of a number.
2.Volume of a sphere.
Enter your choice: 2
Enter the radius: 7
Volume = 1437.3333333333335

 CONCLUSION
A computer is an electronic device that accepts
data, performs operations, displays results, and
stores the data or results as needed. It is a
combination of hardware and software resources
that integrate together and provides various
functionalities to the user. Hardware is the physical
components of a computer like a processor,
memory devices, monitor, keyboard, etc., while
software is a set of programs or instructions that are
required by the hardware resources to function
properly.
Menu driven program in Python provide an
intuitive and easy-to-use interface for users.
1. They limit the characters that can be entered
making program unambiguous
2. Input is taken by single keystrokes reducing the
chances of user error.
