computer performs the necessary calculations or manipulations on the data and finally the
organized information is displayed by an output device e.g. a monitor.

FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY A COMPUTER

i) Arithmetic functions on numeric data (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing)

ii) Test relationships between data items (by comparing values).

iii) Store and retrieve data

These skills are really no more than people can do, but the computer can accomplish the
task more;

 Faster
 Accurately
 Reliable
