FAMILIARIZATION OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER SYSTEM

AIM: To Familiarize a Digital Computer System

Computer : A computer is an ultrafast electronic counting machine that can store, transmit and manipulate informa tion(data).
Because of the large scale use of computers for data processing, they are also called Electronic Data Processing Machines.

A Computer system consists of two components, Hardware and Software. For the working a computer system, both the hardware
and the software are essential. One component cannot function without the other.

A
Hardware : The electronic and mechanical components of a computer constitute its physical structure and are called the hardware.
Hardware components include the processor, main memory unit consisting of Random Access Memory(RAM) and Read Only
Memory(ROM) and secondary memory devices such as hard disc, flop disc, CD, DVD, etc., motherboard and its circuitry, Input /
Output devices like keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc.

N
Software : Software give life to the hardware. Software are the programs or instructions, which are used for the functioning of the
computer as well as for processing data and solving problems. Software can be broadly classified into two:

M
1. System Software and

2. Application Software.

P
System Software :System Software are the programs used for the functioning and administration of the computer system. The
common system software are Operating Systems, and Compilers, etc.

Application Software: These are the programs developed for specific applications or utility. They are developed by the
programmers based on customer’s needs and demands.
C
Operating System : Operating system (OS) acts as an intermediate layer between the application programs and computer
hardware. We can say that the Operating System is the administrator of the computer. In modern terminology Operating Systems
T
are generally referred to as Platforms. The main functions of Operating System are :

1. Process Management.
P

2. Memory Management.

3. I/O Management
_G

4. Job Scheduling

5. Data Transfer.
E

COMPONENTS OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER SYSTEM

The Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The processor and the main memory unit are jointly called the Central Processing Unit. As the name indicates the processing of
data are done in this unit. Pentium-4, AMD Athelon, Core 2 Duo, Core i5, etc. are some of the processors available in the market.

Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)

The arithmetical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, etc. and the logical ope rations of

A
comparisons like less than, greater than, equality, etc. are done in this Unit.

Control Unit

N
Another logical unit of the processor is the control unit which controls all the operations of the CPU. It co -ordinates all the functions
of different logical units in the CPU and I/O devices.

Main Memory Unit

M
Main memory or the primary memory is made up of electronic circuits. They consists of semiconductor devices. They are very fa st
but volatile in nature.

All GUI based operating systems use desktop environment. GNOME and KDE are the most popular
desktop environments use in GNU/Linux operating Systems.
The major components of the Desktop are -
Desktop
The desktop itself is behind all of the other components on the desktop. The desktop also has
several special objects on it. A typical desktop consists of - The Computer icon which gives access to
CDs, removable media such as floppy disks, and also the entire filesystem. Home Folder, labelled

A
username's Home, where all of users personal files are kept. The Trash is a special folder in which to
place files and folders tat are no longer need.

Panels

N
The panels are the two bars that run along the top and bottom of the screen. By default, the top
panel shows you the GNOME main menu bar, the date and time, and a set of application launcher icons,
and the bottom panel shows the list of open windows and the workspace switcher.

M
Customising the Desktop
A theme is a group of coordinated settings that specifies the visual appearance of a part of the
Desktop such as buttons, scroll bar, panels, windows, etc.

To Change Theme

Background

_G

Screensaver
1. Select System / Preference. Select the Screensaver theme from the list.

Workspaces
E

Workspaces allows to manage which windows are on the screen. Every workspace contains the
same desktop, the same panels, and the same menus. However, users can run different applications, and
open different windows in each workspace. The applications in each workspace will remain there when
user switch to other workspaces. By default, four workspaces are available.
E

Switching Between Workspaces

Switching between workspaces can be done in any of the following ways:
E

 In the Workspace Switcher applet in the bottom panel, click on the workspace where you want to
work.
 Move the mouse pointer over the Workspace Switcher applet in the bottom panel, and scroll the
mouse wheel.
 Press Ctrl+Alt+right arrow to switch to the workspace on the right of the current workspace.
 Press Ctrl+Alt+left arrow to switch to the workspace on the left of the current workspace

Panel Properties
Moving a Panel: To move a panel to another side of the screen, press and hold <Alt> and drag the panel
to its new location. Click on any vacant space on the panel to begin the drag.
Adding panel
To add a panel, right-click on a vacant space on any panel, then choose New Panel. The new panel
is added to the Desktop. The new panel contains no objects.
Deleting Panel

_G

Suspend
To save energy, put computer into sleep mode, which will save its current condition and allows to start
more quickly while remaining on but using very little energy. Suspending the computer spins down the
hard disk and saves your session to memory, so it is very quick to suspend and resume from suspension.
E

Hibernate
Hibernate is similar to suspend, except that instead of saving your session to memory, hibernate
will save your session to the hard disk. This takes a little longer, but with the added benefit that
hibernation uses no power while it is in a hibernated state.
E

Rebooting
To reboot your computer, select Restart from the session menu.
E

Shut down
To totally power down your computer, select Shut Down from the session menu.

FAMILIARIZATION TO LINUX COMMANDS

AIM:
To familiarize various Linux commands.

Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and
open source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the

A
Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on 5 October 1991, by Linus Torvalds.
Because it considers Linux to be a variant of the GNU operating system, initiated in 1983 by

N
Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation prefers the name GNU/Linux when referring
to the operating system as a whole.

M
The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source
software collaboration: the underlying source code may be used, modified, and distributed

P
commercially or non-commercially by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public
License. Typically, Linux is packaged in a format known as a Linux distribution for desktop
C
and server use.
T
Some popular mainstream Linux distributions include

 Debian (and its derivatives such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint)

P

 Fedora (and its derivatives such as the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its open
_G

equivalent CentOS)
 Mandriva / Mageia, open SUSE (and its commercial derivative SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server),
E

 Arch Linux.
E

A distribution oriented toward desktop use will typically include the X Window System
and an accompanying desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE Plasma. Some such
E

9 EEE_GPTC PMNA
IIT LAB (1008)

distributions may include a less resource intensive desktop such as LXDE or Xfce for use on
older or less powerful computers. A distribution intended to run as a server may omit all
graphical environments from the standard install and instead include other software such as the
Apache HTTP Server and an SSH server such as Open SSH. Because Linux is freely
redistributable, anyone may create a distribution for any intended use. Applications commonly
used with desktop Linux systems include the Mozilla Firefox web browser, the LibreOffice

A
application suite, and the GIMP image editor.

PYTHON PROGRAMMING

THEORY:

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level

data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. It is a
general purpose, interpreted, interactive, object oriented, and high level programming

A
language. Python is designed to be highly readable. It uses English keywords frequently where
as other languages use punctuation, and it has fewer syntactical constructions than other

N
languages.

M
Control Structures
A program’s control flow is the order in which the program’s code executes. The

P
control flow of a python program is regulated by conditional statements, loops and function
calls. Python has three types of control structures:
C
1. Sequential - default mode
2. Selection - used for decisions and branching
T

3. Repetition - used for looping; i.e. Repeating a piece of code multiple times
P

1. Sequential Statements
_G

Sequential statements are a set of statements whose execution process happens in a

sequence. The problem with sequential statements is that if the logic has broken in any
one of the lines, then the complete source code execution will break.
E

2. Selection / Decision Control Statements:

E

In Python, the selection statements are also known as Decision control statements.
The selection statement allows a program to test several conditions and execute
E

instructions based on which condition is true.

Some decision control statements are:
● Simple if
● if-else
● Nested if
● if-elif-else

3. Repetition statements:
E

Repetition is used to repeat a group(block) of programming instructions. In python,

we generally have two loops, repetitive statements:

 while loop
 for loop

 while loop
In python, while loops are used to execute a block of statements repeatedly until a
given condition is satisfied. Then, the expression is checked again and, if it is still true,
the body is executed again. This continues until the expression becomes false.
Syntax: while(test_condition): Statements

 for loop

A
A for loop is used to iterate over a sequence that is either a list, tuple, dictionary, or a
set. We can execute a set of statements once for each item in a list, tuple, or dictionary.

N
Syntax: for variable in range (start value, end value): Statements

6. Program Documentation
P

Program Design can be done before actual program coding. For designing, any of these
_G

three methods (Algorithm, Flowchart and pseudocode) can be used.

ALGORITHM:
E

An algorithm is a set of well-defined instructions to solve a particular problem. A set

of sequential steps usually written in Ordinary Language to solve a given problem is called an
E

Algorithm.

FLOWCHART:

A flow chart is a step-by-step pictorial representation of the logic paths to solve a given
problem.
