Is it a linear system? Casual system? Please explain why and how.
MATLABdude said:This sounds like homework. Nevertheless...
Neglecting the fact that computers are enormously complex and flexible systems--will computers do preempting or in the absence of user input?
As for linearity--I think... think... FATAL EXCEPTION #2477: DOES NOT COMPUTE
EDIT: Okay, a philosophical discussion item: what do you consider as computer input...?
MATLABdude said:That's supposed to be a joke: neither linearity nor causality apply.
DragonPetter said:how does causality not apply? A PC can create outputs based on inputs from the future?
A computer PC, or personal computer, is a type of electronic device that is designed for personal use and is capable of performing various tasks such as word processing, internet browsing, and data storage.
Computer PCs can be categorized into desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Desktops are stationary computers that typically have a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Laptops are portable computers that have a built-in screen, keyboard, and trackpad. Tablets and mobile devices are smaller, lightweight devices that are designed for touch screen use.
The majority of computer PCs use a Windows operating system, developed by Microsoft. Other popular operating systems for computer PCs include MacOS, developed by Apple, and Linux, which is open-source software.
A computer PC typically consists of a central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage (hard drive or solid state drive), motherboard, and power supply. It also has input/output devices such as a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Computer PCs offer many benefits, including faster processing speeds, larger storage capacities, and the ability to perform various tasks simultaneously. They are also more versatile and customizable compared to other types of devices.
