What are the Categories of Computers?

You know friends there are 3 types categories of computers, these are

(a) Based on Mechanism
(b) Based on the size
(c) Based on the purpose

Based on mechanism

There are 3 types of computers based on mechanism,

(a) Analog Computer
(b) Digital Computer
(c) Hybrid Computer

(a) Analog Computer

“An analog computer might be a category of a computer system that utilizes the regularly unstable condition of physical data like electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic capacities to figure the schedule is stored

Analog means regularity of identified volume just as an Analog clock allowances time utilizing the space well-traveled by the clock around a dial. They react in a predefined way to changes in the specified quantities.

It accepts input data in continuous form and output is obtained in the form of graphs. It is faster than the digit computer but can give an accuracy of not more than 99%. These computers are suitable for use as controlling devices in factories, military forces, and weaponry, etc.

Examples- Speedometers, Thermometers, Analog clock, Voltmeters, Wall clock, and Flight simulators for training pilots.

Advantages – (a) Devices that media represents (b) Store images (c) Sound, motion, pictures, etc.

Disadvantages – (a) Analog computers can have a really wide selection of complexity. (b) Slide rules and monographs are the only while naval gunfire control computers and enormous hybrid digital/analog computers are among the foremost complicated. (c) Very complicated for containing output for the users sometimes.

(2) Digital Computers

Digital computers taking in the form of numbers, letters, and special characters stock it, operates it, and provide the output in the form of numbers, letters, and unique characters.

Like these computers always operates information (consisting of text, sound, graphics, and video) into a digital value(in 0’s and 1’s) information continues in the design of pulses.
