👉 Analog computing is a method of processing information using continuous physical quantities, such as voltage or current, rather than discrete binary values like those in digital computing. In analog systems, data is represented by physical properties that vary smoothly over a range of values, allowing for the direct manipulation of signals in accordance with mathematical functions. This approach can offer advantages in terms of speed and efficiency for certain types of computations, particularly those involving complex, non-linear relationships, as it can inherently handle a wide range of input values simultaneously. However, analog systems are generally more susceptible to noise and require careful design to maintain accuracy, unlike digital systems which use error-correcting codes and redundancy to mitigate these issues.
