What is the difference between a calculator and a computer?
Calculator
We know that a calculator works with numbers. So does a computer. We also know that calculators are very fast... so ar computers. So what is the difference between them?
To put it very simply, calculators can do only one thing a time. When you want to solve a problem, you have to press the various buttons after each step to tell it what to do next. On the other hand, a computer can be given a series of instructions. These instructions are know as computer programmes.
A program tells the computer what to do next, when you assign a task to it. The computer will follow all the steps according to the program, and give you the answer without any further instructions from you.
