Types of computer

Since the invention of computers from 1st generation and 4th generation computers, they have been classified according to their types and how they operate that is input, process and output information. Following you will get a brief discussion on various types of computers. Computer types can be divided into three categories according to electronic nature. Types of computers are classified according to how a particular Computer functions. These computer types are

> Analogue Computers

> Digital Computers

> Hybrid Computers

Analogue Computers:-

Analogue computer uses which is known as analogue signals that are represented by a continuous set of varying voltages and are used in scientific research centers. hospitals and flight centers with analogue types of computer no values are represented by physical measurable quantities voltages. Analogue computer types program arithmetic and logical operations by measuring physical changes that is temperatures or pressure.

Digital Computers:-

These types of computers operation are on electrical input that have two inputs, states of ON and state of OFF. With digital type of computers data is represented by digital of 0 and 1 or off state and on state. Digital computer type recognizes data by counting discrete signal of (0 , 1), they are high speed programmable. they calculate values and stores results. they are commonly used in now days.

Hybrid Computers

Hybrid computer are very unique, in the sense that they combined both analogue and digital features and operations. With Hybrid computers operate by using digital to analogue convertor and analogue to digital convertor. By linking the two types of computer above you come up with this new computer type called Hybrid.
