  2. Output device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_device

    A display device is the most common form of output device which presents output visually on computer screen. The output appears temporarily on the screen and can easily be altered or erased. With all-in-one PCs, notebook computers, hand held PCs and other devices; the term display screen is used for the display device.

  3. Input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output

    In computing, input/output (I/O, i/o, or informally io or IO) is the communication between an information processing system, such as a computer, and the outside world, such as another computer system, peripherals, or a human operator. Inputs are the signals or data received by the system and outputs are the signals or data sent from it.

    I/O is the means by which a computer exchanges information with the outside world. [125] Devices that provide input or output to the computer are called peripherals. [126] On a typical personal computer, peripherals include input devices like the keyboard and mouse, and output devices such as the display and printer.

  5. Garbage in, garbage out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out

    In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.

    An output state of a system, see state (computer science) Output (economics), the amount of goods and services produced Gross output in economics, the value of net output or GDP plus intermediate consumption; Net output in economics, the gross revenue from production less the value of goods and services; Power (physics) or Work (physics) output ...

  7. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic and logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to the instructions that have been sent to the processor. It directs the operation of the other units by providing timing and control signals. Most computer resources are managed by the CU.

  8. Parameter (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter_(computer...

    More precisely, one may distinguish three types of parameters or parameter modes: input parameter s, output parameters, and input/output parameter s; these are often denoted in, out, and in out or inout. An input argument (the argument to an input parameter) must be a value, such as an initialized variable or literal, and must not be redefined ...

  9. State (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_(computer_science)

    The output of a sequential circuit or computer program at any time is completely determined by its current inputs and current state. Since each binary memory element has only two possible states, 0 or 1, the total number of different states a circuit can assume is finite, and fixed by the number of memory elements.
