Basic Computer Terms and Glossary Byte is a combination of Eight bits. A standard keyboard has a total of or keys. Combination of four bits is Nibble A Command is a kind of coded message. Word is the combination of two or more than two bytes. Binary code is a term which describes a way of counting. A, Binary digit, or bit for short is a number. It is either or. Data is a plural word which means facts or information. A Floppy disk is a part of a computer and it stores data and programes. A Hard disk stores information inside some kinds of computer. Input is information which flows into a computer. A mouse is a part of Computer A random access memory (RAM) is a part of a Computer A read-only memory, or ROM for short, is a part of a Computer Software, programs and data that are used by Computers A general collection of data shared by a variety of users is Database Firmware is defined as software embedded into the hardware. A Keyboard is a part of a computer; it has rows of buttons, called keys. Logic is a set of rules which controls the way in which computers work. A Laser is a device which produces a beam of very bright and powerful light. A Byte is a number, it carries instructions or information inside computers. A Mainframe computer is the largest and most powerful kind of computer. A Megabyte is a unit of measurement which measures an amount of data or the size of the memory in a computer. A Modem is a part of computers which connects a computer to a telephone line. A postprocessor is a Computer which uses a special kind of program.
