Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.2CP

Explanation of Solution

Five major hardware components:

The five major hardware components of a Computer System are listed below:

  • Main memory
  • Central Process Unit (CPU)
  • Secondary storage devices
  • Input devices
  • Output devices

Main memory:

  • Main memory is also called as “Random-Access Memory” or “RAM”. It is used to store the data inside the memory.
  • RAM is a “volatile” type of memory which is used to store data temporarily while running a program.

Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • CPU is the most important part in Computer. Without CPU, the Computer cannot perform any operation.
  • The main function of the CPU is to fetch the instructions, follow them and produce the output.

Secondary storage devices:

  • Secondary storage device is used to store the data inside the memory for a long period of time, even though, when the Computer does not get any power...
