  Basic Computer Operation  Booting (Description/Definition), Types of Booting, Components of Windows Desktop, Process of Shutting Down the System Definition of Booting 1. Booting is defined as the process of starting the computer. 2. Booting can also be defined as the initial set of operations that the computer performs when power is switched on. Description of the Booting Process When the computer’s power is first turned on, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) initializes itself to look for the system’s ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input Output System) which is the first program that runs every time the computer is turned on. The BIOS performs the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which begins by checking the BIOS chip and then testing CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) RAM. If the POST does not detect a battery failure, it then continues to initialize the CPU (Central Processing Unit), checking the hardware devices to ensure they are functioning properly. Once the POST has de

  COMPUTER AS A PROCESSING TOOL  IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER AS A TOOL FOR PROCESSING DATA AND INFORMATION OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1. State the importance of computer as a tool for processing data and information The following are advantages of using computers for  data  processing: Speed:   data  is processed at a very fast rate when using the  computer . Accuracy: The  computer  is very accurate when processing  data , it is not prone to errors like human beings. Reliability: Computers can work for long periods of time performing repetitive tasks without complaining and a user can be sure that a directive given to the  computer  will be carried out. Storage:  Computer  storage is far more efficient such that the quantity of  data  stored at any point can be accessed anytime it is required. Memory Capability:  Computer  systems can store a huge amount of  data  or information and they have total and instant recall of these  data . Exchange of in

      High Level Language (HLL)  Definition – Modes of Translation – Classification of High Level languages- Advantages of HLL & ML (Machine Language) Definition of Terms Program:  A computer program is a sequence of related instruction (command) that tell the computer how to accomplish a specific task. *Computer language:  Computer language is a language used by, or associated with the computer. *Syntax  Syntax are set of rules governing how the words in the language are written. *Semantics  These are the meaning associated with each word in a particular language.  Markup languages like HTML are generally not regarded as programming languages, but they are computer language. *High Level Language:  These are programming languages that allow for programs to be written in forms that are readable to human beings. A high level language is a programming language that, in comparison to low level programming languages, may be more abstract, easier to use, or more portable across pl

BASIC Programming Language III  (One Dimensional Arrays) Operation on Arrays/Writing BASIC Program using loops Definition of Array An array is a list of variables of the same kind. A variable is a name the computer assigns value to. Definition of One-Dimensional Array A one-dimensional array is a linear collection or arrangement of variables of the same kind. How to Create an Array in BASIC Language To create an array, the  DIM  (dimension) command is used. The DIM statement has the following syntax for a one-dimensional array: DIM  arrayName (n) . Where "n" is a whole number. For example DIM Score (5) will reserve 6 spaces, Score (0) Score (1), Score (2), Score (3), Score (4) and Score (5) in the memory to hold Numeric values. While DIM NAME$ (10) will reserve 11 memory locations to store string values, that is, NAME$(0) ... NAME$(10). The number inside the parentheses of the individual variables are called subscripts, and each variable is called a subscripted variable or el
