Computer Questions

The smallest unit of data storage in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). Half a byte (four bits) is called a Nibble.

1 bit (binary digit) = the value of 0 or 1

8 bits = 1 byte

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte

1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte

1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte

Hence, Computer storage units smallest to largest i.e, in ascending order is

 1 bit  <  1 byte  <  1 KB  <  1 MB  <  1 GB  <  1TB  <  1 PB.

The main function of input devices is to direct commands and data into computers. Computers then use their CPU to process this data and produce output.

Examples of input devices - keyboards, mouse, barcode readers, Magnetic Ink Character Readers (MICR), Optical Character Readers (OCR), touch screens, etc...

Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. It falls under the category of Preemptive scheduling. In computing, the running task is interrupted for some time without requiring its cooperation and resumed later when the priority task has finished its execution. This is called preemptive scheduling. 

In computing, the expansion card or board or accessory card is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an electrical connector or expansion slot, on a computer motherboard, to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion bus.

The term computer is derivrd from the latin keyword 'computare' which means to calculate or to compute.

EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory.

It is a programmable read-only memory that can be used for erased and re-used.
