| processor | A processor is the part of a computer that interprets commands and performs the processes the user has requested. [computing] See also food processor, word processor. 3. countable noun. |
| operating system | An operating system (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all of the other application programs in a computer. |
| memory | Memory is the electronic holding place for the instructions and data a computer needs to reach quickly. It's where information is stored for immediate use. |
| storage | Storage is a process through which digital data is saved within a data storage device by means of computing technology. |
| ethernet ports | Alternatively referred to as an Ethernet port, network connection, and network port, the LAN port allows a computer to connect to a network using a wired connection. |
| motherboard | A motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer. The motherboard is a computer's central communications backbone connectivity point, through which all components and external peripherals connect. |
| random access memory | RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device's processor. |
| monitor | In concurrent programming, a monitor is a synchronization construct that allows threads to have both mutual exclusion and the ability to wait (block) for a certain condition to become false. |
| mouse | A computer mouse is a handheld hardware input device that controls a cursor in a GUI (graphical user interface) for pointing, moving and selecting text, icons, files, and folders on your computer. |
| keyboard | A keyboard is one of the primary input devices used with a computer. Similar to an electric typewriter, a keyboard is composed of buttons used to create letters, numbers, and symbols, and perform additional functions. |
| hard drive | A hard drive is the hardware component that stores all of your digital content. |
| input/output devices | An application, also referred to as an application program or application software, is a computer software package that performs a specific function directly for an end user or, in some cases, for another application |
| software applications | An application, also referred to as an application program or application software, is a computer software package that performs a specific function directly for an end user or, in some cases, for another application |
| WIFI | Wi-Fi is defined as an abbreviation for wireless fidelity, meaning you can access or connect to a network using radio waves, without needing to use wires. |
| IP Address | a computer software package that performs a specific function directly for an end user or, in some cases, for another application. |
| hex | It can be used to represent large numbers with fewer digits. |
| binary language | binary code, code used in digital computers, based on a binary number system in which there are only two possible states, off and on, usually symbolized by 0 and 1. |
| sequence of commands | Command sequences are perhaps most useful when you need to perform the same processing operations on a set of similar images. |
| conditional structures | In selection control structures, conditional statements are features of a programming language which perform different computations or actions depending on whether a programmer-specified Boolean condition evaluates to true or false. |
| looping | In computer programming, a loop is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached. |
