Computer Organization By: Kimberly Chiffens Maria Jannelli

THE DEFINITION  Computer Organization is learning about the computer’s input and output. It is learning about what the computer understands which is 1s and 0s. An example is the Binary System.  It is learning the ins and outs of the computer such as the CPU.  The computer organization shows the essential parts of the system and how they are interconnected.  Computer organization shows how the parts of the system work in order to apply to the architectural specification.

THE MAIN CONCEPTS 1.THE BINARY SYSTEM- uses only 1 and 0, usually used to convert decimal numbers into binary numbers. 2.THE CPU- “the brains” of the computer. It includes the most important parts of the computer to help it function. 3.THE INPUT- the data that is put into the computer. It will be stored into the memory.

THE MAIN CONCEPTS 4. THE OUTPUT- after the data is inputted, the result is printed out. 5. THE MACHINE LANGUAGE- the language made to understand the binary system that is made up of 1s and 0s.

THE EXAMPLES  THE BINARY NUMBERS  EXAMPLE:  2 is inputted to be converted into binary.  The result is 10  The Binary system will only use 1s and 0s in the result.

THE EXAMPLES  THE CPU  EXAMPLE:  The CPU chip  Known as the microprocessor  Serves as the processing elements of a computer system, embedded system, or handheld device

THE EXAMPLES  INPUT/OUPUT  EXAMPLE  Info is processed into the computer  And the result is printed

THE EXAMPLES  THE MACHINE LANGUAGE  EXAMPLE  The computer only reads 1s and 0s  In Binary, the decimal number 2 is 10.

OUR EXAMPLE  Our programming example will ask the user to enter a character.  The program will then convert the character into binary form.

OUR EXAMPLE  #include  #include  int main(){ int bin[8]; int bin[8];  int pe, np,q;  char c;  printf("Please enter a character to be converted to binary\n");  scanf("%c",&c);  printf("decimal form:%d\n",c);  pe=7;  while(c>0){  bin[pe]=c%2;  c=c/2;  pe--;  }  for(np=pe;np>=0;np--){  bin[np]=0;  }  printf("bin:");  for(q=0;q<8;q++){  printf("%d",bin[q]);  }  printf("\n");  return 0;  }

OUR PROGRESS  We’ve explored the languages in the Binary System  We will be using the Binary System for our programming example.
