In this post we will see the classification of computer
Direct classification of computers is very difficult. Computers can be classified on the basis of their functions, uses, and purposes. Computers can also be classified according to their data handling capacity, purpose, working capacity, size, storage capacity and performance.
Computers can be the size of a large room, mobile micro-controllers, laptops and embedded systems. There are four such computers – super computer, mainframe computer, mini computer and microcomputer.
Computers can be classified on the basis of their functions, uses, and
purposes. Therefore, we classify computers on three basis.
