Any information processed in a computer (225-2) undergoes three main phases. First, data entry ¹ or input ¹ which may be done by using an on line ² device such as a keyboard console (227-8). Data which is already stored in the computer may be accessed from either central memory (226-2) or from one of the mass storage devices (226-3) and used as input data. This is part of the data collection ^3★ which goes from extraction (220-1) to the transcription on an electronic medium, through validity checks (221-7) and consistency checks (221-8) that can be made during data entry when working on line. The second phase, processing (220-2), is divided into two main types: numerical processing ⁴ and non-numerical processing ⁵. Statistical or arithmetic computations are normally the operations contained in the former while data manipulation operations are the focus in the latter. In a third phase, occasionally referred to as output phase, the processed results ⁶ or output ⁶ may be printed out on the line printer (227-6) or saved as a file on a mass storage device (226-3) for further processing. Results may also be diverted to a plotter ⁷ to obtain processed results in the form of a graph or a figure. More...
