Information Processing Cycle

Data - is organised information. It can be numbers, words, measurements, observations or even just descriptions of things.


Information 

• a message received and understood
• knowledge acquired through study or experience or instruction
• formal accusation of a crime
• data: a collection of facts from which conclusions may be drawn; "statistical data"
• (communication theory) a numerical measure of the uncertainty of an outcome; "the signal contained thousands of bits of information"

Information Processing
          -   is the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer.





Information Processing Cycle
Information processing cycle of computer can be well described by the following points:

1. Input - entering data to the computer
2. Processing - performing operations on the data.
3. Output - presenting the results.
4. Storage - saving data, programs, or output for future use.
