What Do You Know About The Types Of Computer?

Analog Computers: An analog computer does not operate with digital signals. It recognized data as a continuous measurement of a Physical property. It has no state. Analog computer is difficult to operate and use. Its output usually displayed on a meter of graphs. Voltage, pressure speed and temperature are some physical properties that can be measured in this way. Analog computer has low memory and fewer functions. It is usually built for special purposes. Analog computer is mainly used in the field of engineering and medicine.

Digital Computers: A digital computer works with digits. Everything is described in to states i.e. either on or off. The number 1 represents on and 0 represents off state. It is operates by counting numbers or digits and gives output in digital form.

The digital computers are very fast. They can be programmed to perform mathematical calculations, compare values etc. These computers store results in digital format. Digital computers are manufactured in a wide variety of sizes, speeds and capacities. They have big memory. Digital computers are commonly used in office and educational institutions.

Hybrid Computers: A hybrid computer is a combination of both analog and digital computer. Some part of processing is done on analog computer and some part on digital computer. A hybrid computer combines the best characteristics of both the analog and digital computers.
