ELI5. If a computer is made up of preprogrammed circuits, then how does it display anything on its screen, even if that particular thing hasn’t been preprogrammed in its circuits?
In: Technology
A computer is made up of preprogrammed circuits that allow it to interpret instructions from a program and display the results on a screen (or do one of many, many other things with the output, whether it be music, instructions to a peripheral device, whatever). The computer is at its heart a giant set of millions of If / Then statements. It takes input, does something with it, and displays the results.
