👉 Computers compute through the processing of data using algorithms and instructions stored in their memory, typically represented as binary code. At the core of this process are the Central Processing Unit (CPU), which executes instructions and performs calculations, and the memory (RAM), which temporarily holds data and instructions for immediate use. The CPU interacts with other hardware components like the motherboard, storage devices (hard drives or SSDs), and input/output devices to fetch, process, and store information. This involves complex mathematical operations, logical reasoning, and data manipulation, all of which are executed in a series of steps to solve problems or perform tasks. Modern computers also utilize specialized hardware like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for parallel processing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) chips for advanced machine learning tasks, enhancing their computational capabilities.
