PART A: COMPUTER APTITUDE

COMPUTER GENERATIONS

A computer is a device that operates upon data. A computer can store, process, and

retrieve data as and when desired. Charles Babbage, a nineteenth century Professor at

Cambridge University, is considered the father of modern digital computers.

The custom of referring to computer era in terms of generations came into wide use

only after 1964. There are totally five computer generations known till today.

• First Generation (1942-1955): These machines and others of their time used

thousands of vacuum tubes. The memory of these computers used electromagnetic

relays, and all data and instructions were fed into the system from punched cards.

The instructions were written in machine and assembly languages because high-

level programming languages were introduced much later.

• Second Generation (1955-196(d): The second-generation computers were

manufactured using transistors instead of vacuum tubes. On software front, high-

level programming languages (like FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL, and

SNOBOL) and batch operating system emerged during second generation. High-

level programming languages were easier for people to understand and work with

than assembly or machine languages making second-generation computers easier

to program and use than first-generation computers.

The first-generation computers were mainly used for scientific computations.

However, the second-generation computers were increasingly used in business

and industry for commercial data processing applications like payroll, inventory

control, marketing, and production planning.

• Third Generation (1964-1975): Integrated circuits (called ICs) are circuits

consisting of several electronic components like transistors, resistors, and

capacitors grown on a single chip of silicon eliminating wired interconnection

between components. Computers built using integrated circuits characterized the

third generation.

On software front, standardization of high-level programming languages,

timesharing operating systems, unbundling of software from hardware, and

creation of an independent software industry happened during third generation.

FORTRAN and COBOL were the most popular high-level programming

languages in those days. Development and introduction of minicomputers also

took place during the third-generation period.

• Fourth Generation (1975-1989): Average number of electronic components

packed on a silicon chip doubled each year after 1965. This progress soon led to

the era of large scale integration (LSI) when it was possible to integrate over

30,000 electronic components on a single chip, followed by very large scale

integration (VSLI) when it was possible to integrate about one million electronic

components on a single chip. This progress led to a dramatic development –

creation of a microprocessor. It started a new social revolution – personal

computer (PC) revolution.

Another significant development during fourth-generation period was spread of

high-speed computer networking enabling interconnection of multiple computers

to enable them to communicate and share data. Local area networks (LANs)

became popular for connecting computers within an organization or within a

campus. Similarly, wide area networks (WANs) became popular for connecting

computers located at larger distances. Several new operating systems were

developed for PCs. Notable among these were MS-DOS, MS-Windows, and App

le’s propriety OS. Since PCs were for individuals who were not computer

professionals, companies developed graphical user interfaces for making

computers more users friendly.

• Fifth Generation (1989-Present): VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large

Scale Integration) technology in fifth generation resulting in production of

microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components. Due to this fast

pace of advancement in computer technology, we see more compact and more

powerful computers being introduced almost every year at more or less the same

price or even cheaper. Storage technology also advanced very fast making larger

and larger main memory and disk storage available in newly introduced systems.

During fifth generation, optical disks also emerged as a popular portable mass

storage media such as CD – ROM (Compact Disk – Read Only Memory). Also

there is an emergence and popularity of the Internet and associated technologies

and applications.

BASIC ORGANIZATION OF A COMPUTER

A Computer is comprises of an Input Unit, Output Unit, Storage Unit, Arithmetic

Logical Unit (ALU) and Control Unit (CU). Control unit (CU) and arithmetic logic

unit (ALU) of a computer system are together known as the Central Processing Unit

(CPU).

MBA FORUM

The basic organization of a Computer is diagrammatically presented below.

Input Unit

In short, an input unit performs following functions:

• It accepts (or reads) instructions and data from outside world.

• It converts these instructions and data in computer acceptable form.

• It supplies the converted instructions and data to computer system for further

processing.

Output Unit

An output unit performs following functions:

• It accepts the results produced by a computer, which are in coded form and

hence, we cannot easily understand them.

• It converts these coded results to human acceptable (readable) form.

• It supplies the converted results to outside world.

Storage Unit

A storage unit holds (stores):

• Data and instructions required for processing (received from input devices).

• Intermediate results of processing.

MBA FORUM



~ 7 ~

• Results for output, before they are released to an output device.

Storage unit of all computers is comprised of following two types of storage:

• Primary storage. Primary storage of a computer, also known as its main

memory, is used to hold pieces of program instructions and data, intermediate

results of processing, and recently produced results of those job(s) on which the

computer is currently working. However, primary storage can hold information

only while computer system is on.

• Secondary storage. Known as its auxiliary storage, is used to take care of the

limitations of primary storage. That is, it supplements the limited storage capacity

and the volatile characteristic of primary storage. This is because secondary

storage is much cheaper than primary storage and it can retain information even

when a computer system switches off or resets.

Arithmetic Logic Unit

Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of a computer system is the place where actual

execution of instructions takes place during processing operation. To be more precise,

calculations are performed and all comparisons (decisions) are made in the ALU.

Data and instructions stored in primary storage before processing are transferred as

and when needed to the ALU where processing takes place. Hence, data may move

from primary storage to ALU and back again to storage many times before processing

is over. Almost all ALUs are designed to perform the four basic arithmetic operations

(add, subtract, multiply, and divide) and logic operations or comparisons such as, less

than, equal to, and greater than.

Control Unit

Although, it does not perform any actual processing on data, the control unit acts as a

central nervous system for other components of a computer system. It manages and

coordinates the entire computer system. It obtains instructions from the program

stored in main memory, interprets the instructions, and issues signals causing other

units of the system to execute them.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Control unit (CU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of a computer system are together

known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The CPU is the brain of a computer

system. In a human body, the brain takes all major decisions and other parts of the

body function as directed by the brain. Similarly, in a computer system, all major

MBA FORUM



~ 8 ~

calculations and comparisons take place inside the CPU and the CPU is responsible

for activating and controlling the operations of other units of the computer system.

Input & Output Devices

Input Devices

An input device is an electromechanical device that accepts data from outside world

and translates them into a form a computer can interpret. The important input devices

are - Keyboard devices, Point-and-draw devices, Data scanning devices, Digitizer,

Electronic cards based devices, Speech recognition devices, Vision based devices etc.

Some important input devices based upon which you will often find questions in

OJEE MBA Entrance Test are as follows:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Device: In this case, the scanner is

equipped with character recognition software (called OCR software) that

converts the bitmap images of characters to equivalent ASCII codes. That is,

the scanner first creates the bitmap image of the document and then the OCR

software translates the array of grid points into ASCII text that the computer

can interpret as letters, numbers, and special characters.

• Optical Mark Reader (OMR): These scanners are capable of recognizing a

pre-specified type of mark made by pencil or pen. For example, in objective

type tests applicants mark their choices of correct answers on a special pre-

printed test scoring sheet by darkening a small square, circular, or oval shaped

box by a pencil.

• Bar – Code Reader: A bar-code reader is a device used for reading

(decoding) bar – coded data. A bar-code reader uses laser-beam scanning

technology.

• Magnetic-Ink Character Recognition (MICR): MICR is similar to OCR. It

is used by banking industry for faster processing of large volume of cheques

handled every day by this industry. A bank cheque has bank’s identification

code (name, branch, etc.), account number, and cheque number pre-printed

(encoded) on it by using characters from a special character set.

• Digitizer: A digitizer is an device used for converting (digitizing) pictures,

maps, and drawings into digital form for storage in computers.

Output Devices

The important output devices of a computer are - Monitors, Printers, Plotters, Screen

image projector, Voice response system etc.

Registers

CPU is the brain of a computer system. All major calculations performed by a

computer are carried out inside its CPU. The CPU is diagrammatically presented

below:

In order to handle this process satisfactorily and to speed up the rate of information

transfer, a number of special memory units called registers are used. These registers

are used to hold information on a temporary basis and are part of the CPU (not main

memory).

The length of a register equals the number of bits it can store. Hence, a register that

can store 8 bits is referred to as an 8-bit register. Most CPUs sold today have 32-bit or

MBA FORUM



~ 10 ~

64-bit registers. The length of registers of a computer is sometimes called its word

size.

Although, the number of registers varies from computer to computer, these are some

registers common to all computers. Functions of these registers are described below in

the Table.

Sl.

No. Name of Register Function

1 Memory Address

(MAR) Holds address of the active memory location

2 Memory Buffer (MBR) Holds information on its way to and from

memory

3 Program Control (PC) Holds address of the next instruction to be

executed

4 Accumulator (A) Accumulates results and data to be operated upon

5 Instruction (I) Holds an instruction while it is being executed)

6 Input / Output (I/O) Communicates with I/O devices

Processors

Processor Speed

The CU and ALU perform operations at incredible speed. These operations are

usually synchronized by a built-in electronic clock (known as system clock) that emits

millions of regularly spaced electric pulses per second (known as clock cycles).

Hence, the speed at which an instruction is executed is related directly to a computer’s

built-in clock speed, which is the number of pulses produced per second. This clock

speed is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz), where mega means 106,

giga means 109.

Types of Processors

The different type of Processor is elaborated below:

• CISC Processors: CPUs with large instruction set, variable-length instructions,

and a variety of addressing modes are said to employ CISC (Complex Instruction

Set Computer) architecture.

• RISC Processors: CPUs with a small instructions set, fixed-length instructions,

and reduced references to memory to retrieve operands are said to employ RISC

(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture. Since RISC

MBA FORUM

• EPIC Processors: The Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC)

technology breaks through the sequential nature of conventional processor

architectures by allowing the software to communicate explicitly to the processor

when operations can be done in parallel.

• Multicore Processors: Now building multicore processor chips instead of

increasingly powerful (faster) single-core processor chips. The multicore chips do

not necessarily run as fast as the highest performing single-core models, but they

improve overall performance by handling more work in parallel.

MEMORY OF A COMPUTER

Main Memory

Every computer has such has such a storage space known as primary storage, main

memory, or simply memory. It is a temporary storage area built into the computer

hardware. Instructions and data of a program reside mainly in this area when CPU is

executing the program.

Main Memory Organization

A primary storage or main memory of a computer system is made up of several small

storage areas called locations or cells. Each of these locations can store a fixed

number of bits called word length of the memory.

Main Memory Capacity

Memory capacity of a computer system is normally stated in terms of kilobytes (KB),

which is equal to 1024 (210) bytes of storage, or megabytes (MB), which is equal to

1,048,576 (220) bytes of storage, or gigabytes (GB), which is equal to 1,073,741,824

(230) bytes of storage. Notice that 1 KB is about 103 bytes, 1 MB is about 106 bytes,

and 1 GB is about 109 bytes hence, the origin of the prefixes kilo (thousand), mega

(million) and giga (billion). Therefore, a computer having 32 MB of memory is

capable of storing 32 × 1048576 = 33,554,432 bytes or characters.

RAM, ROM, PROM and EPROM

Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system,

application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly

MBA FORUM



~ 12 ~

reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to

than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-

ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is

running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your

computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into

RAM, usually from your hard disk.

Read – only Memory (ROM)

A special type of RAM, called read-only memory (ROM), is a non-volatile memory

chip in which data is stored permanently and cannot be altered by usual programs.

ROMs are mainly used to store programs and data that do not change and are

frequently used. ROMs are used by computer manufactures to store these micro-

programs so that they cannot be modified by the users.

Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM)

There are two types of read-only memory (ROM) - manufacturer-programmed and

user-programmed. A manufacturer-programmed ROM is one in which data is burnt in

by the manufacturer of the electronic equipment in which it is used.

Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM)

Once information is stored in a ROM or PROM chip it cannot be altered. Erasable

Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) overcomes this problem.

EPROM chips are of two types – one in which the stored information is erased by

exposing the chip for some time to ultraviolet light and the other one in which the

stored information in erased by using high voltage electric pulses. The former is

known as Ultra Violet EPROM (UVEPROM) and the latter is known as Electrically

EPROM (EEPROM). It is easier to alter information stored in an EEPROM chip as

compared to an UVEPROM chip. EEPROM is also known as flash memory.

Cache Memory

Even with the use of main memory, memory-processor speed mismatch becomes a

bottleneck in the speed with which the CPU can process instructions because there is

a 1 to 10 speed mismatch between the processor and memory. Obviously, the overall

performance of a processor can be improved greatly by minimizing the memory-

processor speed mismatch. Cache memory is commonly used for this purpose. It is an

extremely fast, small memory between CPU and main memory whose access time is

closer to the processing speed of CPU. It acts as a high-speed buffer between CPU

MBA FORUM



~ 13 ~

and main memory and is used to temporarily store very active data and instructions

during processing.

TYPES OF SOFTWARE

The Software can be divided into two types of classes – System Software and

Application Software.

System Software

System software is a set of one or more programs designed to control the operation

and extend the processing capability of a computer system. The different types of

System Software are as follows:

• Operating Systems. Operating system software takes care of effective and

efficient utilization of all hardware and software components of a computer

system.

• Programming Language Translators. Programming language translators

transform the instructions prepared by programmers in a programming language

into a form that can be interpreted and executed by a computer system.

• Communications software. In a network environment (where multiple computers

are interconnected together by communications network) communications

software enables transfer of data and programs from one computer system to

another.

• Utility Programs. Utility programs (also known as utilities) are a set of programs

that help users in system maintenance tasks, and in performing tasks of routine

nature.

Application Software

Application software is a set of one or more programs designed to solve a specific

problem, or do a specific task Known application software. Some commonly known

Application Software are - Word-Processing Software, Spreadsheet Software,

Database Software, Graphics Software etc.

The relationship between the Computer Hardware, Application and System Software

can be understood from the following diagram.

COMPUTER LANGUAGES

A language acceptable to a computer system is called computer language or

programming language, and the process of writing instructions in such a language for

is called programming or coding.

All computer languages can be classified broadly into following three categories:

Machine Language, Assembly Language or High-level Language

Machine Language

Although computers can be programmed to understand many different computer

languages, every computer understands only one language without using a translation

program. This language is called machine language of the computer.

However, writing a program in machine language has many disadvantages. The

machine language is machine dependent, difficult to program, error prone and

difficult to modify.

Assembly Language

A language that allows instructions and storage locations to be represented by letters

and symbols instead of number is called assembly language or symbolic language. A

program written in an assembly language is called assembly language program or

symbolic program.

This translation is done with the help of a translator program called assembler.

Assembler is system software supplied by computer manufacturers. The assembly

MBA FORUM



~ 15 ~

language is translated to a program into its equivalent machine language program by

using an assembler.

All the limitations of machine language are not solved by using assembly language.

The machine dependency is still there.

High Level Language

Machine and assembly languages are often referred to as low-level programming

languages. High-level programming languages were designed to overcome these

limitations of low-level programming languages.

• They are machine independent

• They do not require programmers to know anything about the internal

structure of the computer which the high-level language programs are

executed.

• Rather, they deal with high-level coding, enabling the programmers to write

instructions using English words and familiar mathematical symbols and

expressions.

Hence, a high-level language program must be converted (translated) into its

equivalent machine language program before it can be executed on a computer. This

translation is done with the help of a translator program called compiler.

Some high languages are elaborated below:

FORTRAN: As FORTRAN language is oriented towards solving problems of a

mathematical nature, it is an algebra-based programming language.

COBOL: COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language. It was designed

for business data processing applications.

BASIC: BASIC stands for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.

BASIC was the first high-level language to be implemented on personal computers

when they were instroduced.

Pascal: Pascal wad developed based on the concepts of structured programming. It

was designed to enable writing of complete Pascal programs without the use of any

GO TO statement, unlike BASIC where Go TO is used extensively for branching.

Object Oriented Programming Languages

Object-Oriented Programming (often referred to as OOP) is one such concept used in

programming languages. OOP concept was introduced first in 1967 by the developers

of a programming language named Simula – 67.

The basic idea behind OOP is that programming languages are used for simulating

real-world problems on computers. Since much of the real world is made of objects, a

simulation of such a world must include simulated objects.

C and C++

C soon became the language of choice of systems programmers who wanted to write

portable systems software and commercial software packages like operating systems,

compilers, spreadsheet, word processing, and database management systems. C++

contains all the elements of the basic C language but has been expanded to include

numerous object-oriented programming features.
