Description
When purchasing a new computer, have you wondered what “3,” “5,” and “7” mean in Core i3, i5, or i7? (Hint: these are not the number of cores in the processor!) Learn the explanation to this and many more intriguing questions in this course!
Ace basic computer organization, von Neumann architecture, data representation, number representation questions in competitive exams, job interviews, and computer organization and architecture course exams. Genuinely understand the basic organization of a von Neumann machine, how instructions are executed in our computers, and representation of numbers in modern computers.
Specifically, the course will cover the following in detail.
- What is a computer?
- Basic computer organization
- What is a program?
