more stringent to check crime.
Answer: The basic organization of computer__ Input Unit: · It accepts (or reads) instructions and data from outside. · It converts these instructions and data in computer acceptable form · It supplies the converted instructions and data to the computer system for further processing. Central Processing Unit (CPU): Control Unit: Control unit of a computer system manages and coordinates the operations of all other components of the computer system. Arithmetic Logic Unit(ALU): Arithmetic logic unit of a computer system is the place, where the actual executions of instruction, takes place during processing operation. Storage Unit: Primary Memory: It is volatile ( loses data on power dissipation). It is used to hold running program instruction, data, intermediate results, and results of ongoing processing of jobs. Secondary Memory: It i
