To Sum Up


                           Digital computer refers to a device that uses binary digits (0’s and 1’s) to generate, process,
                         and display data.
                           Microcomputers are made to be used by one person at a time.
                           Minicomputers are small general-purpose computers having the capability to serve a number
                         of users simultaneously.
                           Mainframe computers are massive computers that occupy a huge space and often fill an entire
                         room.
                           Supercomputers are the largest and fastest of all types of computers, and they can process
                         very large amounts of data quickly.
                           An embedded computer is a special type of microprocessor-based computer that is developed
                         for performing a specific task.
                           A handheld computer can easily be stored in our pockets and used by holding it in palms of
                         our hands.
                           The language that is required by a computer to communicate with its users is called computer
                         language.
                           Assembler, Compiler, and Interpreter are types of program that convert the source code written
                         in high-level language or assembly language into machine language before executing it.
