The ALU also performs the following logical operations:
Computer Software
Software is a set of computer programs that perform a particular task.
2. Compiler:-It is a program that translates a high-level language program into machine language. For
example C++ compiler.
3. Interpreter:-It is a program that translates a high-level language into machine language program line by
line. For example, Visual basic Interpreter.
Application Software
Application software is a computer program that is designed to perform a certain type of work. This type of
software pertains to one specific application. For example, software written to calculate salary of the school
employees cannot be used to prepare school result.

Page 4 of 28
Disk Management Tools:- These programs include
• Disk Cleaner:-This utility scans for the files that have not been used since long. These files may be
occupying large amount of space. It prompts the user to delete such files to create more disk space.
• Disk Defragmenter:-It rearranges the files and free space on the computer so that files are stored in
contiguous and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. This speeds up the disk access.
• Backup:- backup means making a duplicate of the files and data stored on the computer. This program is
used to take backup copy of the data. In case the original data is lost, the backed up data can be used.
Primary Storage
The primary storage is also called the primary memory. It is directly accessible by the CPU. It can be:
• RAM (Random Access Memory)
• ROM (Read Only Memory)
Memory Units
Units of computer memory are:- Bit (Binary Digit), Byte (Kilobyte, Megabyte, GigaByte, TeraByte, PetaByte,
ExaByte, ZettaByte, YottaByte)
The elementary unit of memory is a bit. A group of 4 bits is called a nibble and a group of 8 bits is called a byte.
One byte is the minimum space required to store one character.
1 Byte = 8 bits
One kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes
One Megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB = 1024 x 1024 bytes
One Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB =1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
One Terabyte (TB) = 1024 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
One petabyte (PB) = 1024 TB=1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
One ExaByte (EB)=1024 PB=1024 x 1024 x1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
One ZettaByte (ZB)=1024 EB)= 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes
Until it is written over, data and instructions stored in ROM are permanent.
If the power is turned off, the contents of the ROM are not lost. ROM is referred to as non-volatile memory for
this reason.
Page 5 of 28
Secondary Storage
The secondary memory is used because the computer’s primary memory only temporarily saves the data and
information. The majority of information is stored in secondary memory. Secondary memory is also a non-
volatile memory because the data it contains is not lost when it is used. Since data is stored on these devices
until it is removed, they are non-volatile.
Hard drives, CDs, DVDs, Pen drives, and other secondary storage media are examples.
Input devices
Input devices are used for entering data or instructions into the computer.
Output Devices
The output unit comprises of devices such as Monitor, Printer, speaker, etc. to display information to the user.

A printer is a device used to print the files stored on the computer on paper. The output produced on paper is
called the hard copy. Commonly used printers are:
• Dot matrix printer – It is the most commonly used character printer, i.e, it prints one character at a time.
Most of the dot matrix printers are bidirectional, i.e., they print one line of text from left to right and then
the next line from right to left.

• Laser printer – These printers print one page at a time and are very fast.
Storage Devices
CDs/DVDs
Compact Disc (CD) and Digital Versatile disc (DVD) are optical media that is used to record data from computer.
Data can then be read from the CD. To read data from the CD, we need to have a CD Drive in our computer.
