The computer system works in the principle of IPO:-
1. INPUT (I):-the computer accepts data and instructions from the user. The input function is performed by input devices. Such as keyboard, mouse, microphone etc.
2. PROCESSING (P):- the computer processes the data as per the given instruction. It is performed by the central processing unit (CPU).
3. OUTPUT (O):- the computer produces the result of processing. It is done through output devices such as monitor, speakers, printer, etc.
