The outputs or results are the information
that we need.

The computer can work very fast. It takes only a few seconds for calculations that
we take hours to complete. A computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions
and even more per second

• Speed

• Accuracy

• Versatility

• Diligence

The degree of accuracy of a computer is very high and every calculation is
performed with the same accuracy

• Diligence
