A computer is a programmable machine designed to
sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic
or logical operations. The particular sequence of operations can
be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than
one kind of problem.
Conventionally a computer consists of some form of memory for
data storage, at least one element that carries out arithmetic and
logic operations, and a sequencing and control element that can
change the order of operations based on the information that is
stored. Peripheral devices allow information to be entered from
an external source, and allow the results of operations to be
