Differentiate between Analog and Digital Computers


The differences between analog and digital computers are as follows:



1
 Analog Computers Work on continuous values. Digital computers Work on discrete values.

2
 Analog Computers have low memory. Digital computers have a very large memory

3
 Analog computers have Slow speed. Digital computers have fast speed.

4
 Analog computers are less reliable. Digital computers are more reliable.

5
 Analog computers used in engineering and science and medical fields. Digital computers are used in all fields of life.

6
 Analog computers are used to calculate / measure analog quantities like speed and temperature. Digital computers are used to calculate mathematical and logical operations. It can solve addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and other mathematical and statistical operations.

7
 Analog computers provide less accurate results. Digital computers provide 100% accurate results.
8 Normally Analog Computers are specific purpose Digital Computers are general purpose
9 Analog computers are difficult to use Digital computers are easy to use
10 Examples of Analog computers are: thermometer, analog clock, speedometer etc. Examples of digital computers are:
Personal Computer, laptops, smart phones etc.

Explain The Concept of A Computer System

A system is a set of inter related components that work together to fulfill a purpose. For example a Road Transportation System will consist of the parts - roads, vehicles- trucks, buses, vans, cars etc, passengers, the staff for ticketing and maintenance of vehicles and roads etc. And the transportation system will fulfill the purpose of carrying of passengers and luggage from place to place. Similarly, a computer system consists of many components that work together to fulfill the purpose of data processing. A Computer system consists of the following four parts: 1.    Hardware 2.    Software 3.    Data 4.    User 1.    Hardware The mechanical devices that makeup the computer are called HARDWARE , for example, Keyboard, hard disk, monitor, processor and mother board etc. Hardware are physical devices . They can be touched. Hardware device are interconnected and perform input, processing and output o...
