Just as ants build a colony
                  After calculating, we’ll find that the answer                  together, computers gather

                  is 15. Similarly, we give instructions to the                  information to help us solve
                  computer, and then the computer works                           problems and learn new

                  on the instructions and gives us the result.                               things.

                  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.
                     A mouse is an example of an input device.

                     Process: The actions performed on 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.

                       ▶  A computer works in three steps.

                       ▶  P in IPO stands for Process.
