Computer based on the latest literature classifies four things, namely that the data is processed, use, shapes and sizes, and generation.
1. Data Processed
a. Analog Computer
Used to process qualitative data, to work continuously and in parallel. usually do not require an intermediary language. for example, computers used to measure temperature, speed of sound, and electrical voltage.
b. Digital Computer
Used for quantitative data processing (letters, numbers, combinations of letters and numbers, and special characters). typically, require an intermediary language, one example is a PC computer.
c. Hybrid Computer
combination of analog and digital computer, for example fax.
