What is Data - What is Data?

Facts and information about something are called data. This information includes the number, word, picture, symbol, opinion, etc. These facts are meaningless and beyond the comprehension of ordinary human beings. Data is gathered from various sources.

The data is subsequently processed by various means to create new data (meaningful data). A computer is an electronic machine. Therefore, the process of processing data by a computer is called EDP.

The data for a computer is Numbers which is a group of bytes. Which is represented in Binary Digits (0 and 1)? It goes into the CPU for data processing. Where New Data (Output) is created by doing Logical Operations over it.

What is Information - What is Information?

Information is called information in English. Information is meaningful information about something. Which the normal person can understand. For example, the average age of students in a class is information that is useful.

When instructions are given to perform a task in the computer, this data is processed and a meaningful result is given, which is called information.

We have written an example of the information given above by correcting the example given in the data. This is a person's address. It is clear from this example of how much difference between data and information. And how different the two are despite being similar.

Difference Between Data and Information

1. Data is meaningless and unprocessed information. However, information is meaningful and processed information.
2. An ordinary person cannot understand the data, but the information is understandable to an ordinary person.
3. Data is less useful, but the information is always useful.
4. Data is self-sufficient but the information is dependent on data.
5. There is no fixed form of data. At the same time, information is found in a special form.

What Have You Learned?

In this Lesson, we have given you complete information about data and information. What is your data and what is information? Both have to be known and the difference in this two information is also understood. We hope that this Lesson will prove useful to you.
