About

Operational Concepts GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTERS 1-19. Most people will probably use this type of computer. General purpose computers are designed to perform a wide variety of functions and operations. The reason they can perform a wide variety of operations is because they can store and execute different programs in its internal storage. Unfortunately, having this ability is often achieved at the expense of speed and efficiency. However, in most situations, the flexibility of these types of computers makes this compromise a most acceptable one. ANALOG COMPUTERS 1-20. All analog computers are special purpose computers. They are designed to measure continuous electrical or physical conditions (such as current, voltage, flow, temperature, length, or pressure). They then convert these measurements into related mechanical or electrical quantities.
