    IPO CYCLE

                      The working of a computer can be defined by three steps: input, process and
                      output.

                                      INPUT                     PROCESS                         OUTPUT

                         Input:  The information  or data  given

                         to  the computer  is called  input.                          Just as ants build a colony
                         A mouse  is  an example  of an  input                       together, computers gather

                         device.                                                     information to help us solve
                                                                                       problems and learn new
                         Process:  The actions performed on                                       things.
                         the input to convert it into meaningful

                         information (output) is called processing.
                         CPU is the brain of the computer. It performs suitable actions on the input

                         provided.

                         Output: The result of processing is called the output. The monitor shows the
                         result of the work done by the CPU. A monitor is an example of an output
                         device.

                              Input device                             Processing device                    Output device

                           Tick ( ) if you know this.

                           ▶  A computer works in three steps.

                           ▶  P in IPO stands for Process.
