What is computer and machine?
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. A computer system is a “complete” computer that includes the hardware, operating system (main software), and peripheral equipment needed and used for “full” operation.
What is the difference between computer and washing machine?
A desktop computer stores the files that are written on them but a washing machine can only follow a diverse set of commands only for washing clothes. It is the computer that makes the program for the washing machine to run and not otherwise.
What is the difference between equipment and device?

What is the difference between computer science and machine learning?
The purpose of Computer Science vs Machine Learning is almost the same. Computer science is an evolutionary development of statistics capable of dealing with the vast quantities of data using informatics technology. Machine learning is a study field that gives computers the ability to learn without explicit programming.
Is it possible to make a mechanical computer?
There is nothing in the idea of a “computer” that couldn’t be done mechanically. However current computers are not mechanical machines – they are electronic machines with few (if any) moving parts. Mechanical computers have been designed and built.
How to tell if a computer is a laptop or desktop?
