• Analog computers As the name suggests, these types of computers are
primarily designed to process and analyze analog data that can be measured.
Here, digital data is not processed, but instead, the data is represented by a
physical quantity, such as distance, pressure, temperature, speed, or length.
Examples of analog computers include speedometers, thermometers,
voltmeters, calculators, and clocks.

• Digital computers These types of computers are designed to work on digital
data that is presented in the form of binary numbers (0 and 1). Therefore,
any input is typically converted to binary language to enable the computer to
process the data to produce information. They can perform mathematical
calculations and also process logical operations. Examples of digital
computers include most forms of personal computers, laptops, mobile
phones, and tablets.
