Computer System: -
A Computer is an electronic device which accepts data through input devices, processes it through central processing unit (CPU) and provides information through output devices. Computer System is made up of many components which works together in co-ordination.Input Devices
Instructions are provided to CPU through input devices. Some of the input devices are mouse, keyboard, scanner, and joystick etc., . Data or program's are entered into the computer system through these input devices. Input devices accept data from us and process it through CPU.
