  8. 1.1How Does a Computer Work?

  9. 1.1How Does a Computer Work? Every computer operation can be divided into three stages: input, process and output.

  10. 1.1How Does a Computer Work? Example of ‘input  process  output’ A student working on a worksheet Washing clothes by a washing machine

  11. Input Enter data and command into a computer. Process The computer works on the data. Output The computer shows the processed results. 1.1How Does a Computer Work? ‘Input  process  output’ represents the three stages of a computer operation process. Three stages of a computer operation process
