Computer
According to Electronic Transaction Act, 2063, chapter 1 section 2, A computer means an electro-magnetic, optical or other high-speed data processing device or system which performs logical, arithmetic and memory functions by manipulating electro-magnetic or optical impulses and also included all acts of input, output, processing, storage and computer software or communication facilities which are connected or related to the computer in any computer system or computer network.
A computer is a digital electronic device that manipulate given information or data to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operation automatically through computer programming as demanded by the users. In short, it is a device that accepts raw data as input and processes it with a set of instructions command by the users to produce the result as output. A computer is designed to execute applications and provides a variety of solutions through integrated hardware and software components. It works with the help of programs and represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits. It also has a memory that stores the data, programs, and result of processing. The components of a computer such as machinery that includes wires, transistors, circuits, hard disk are called hardware. Whereas, the programs and data are called software.
