On the basis of data handling capabilities, the computer is of three types:

1.Analogue Computer
2.Digital Computer
3.Hybrid Computer





1.ANALOGUE COMPUTER-

Analog computer, any of a class of devices in which continuously variable physical quantities such as electrical potential, fluid pressure, or mechanical motion are represented in a way analogous to the corresponding quantities in the problem to be solved.


2. DIGITAL COMPUTER-

In computer science, a digital electronic computer is a computer machine which is both an electronic computer and a digital computer. Examples of a digital electronic computers include the IBM PC, the Apple Macintosh as well as modern smartphones.




3. HYBRID COMPUTER--

Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computers and digital computers. The digital component normally serves as the controller and provides logical and numerical operations, while the analog component often serves as a solver of differential equations and other mathematically complex equations.
