The Keyboard of a computer consists of keys similar to those of a typewriter. It contains the usual range of alphabetic characters (A – Z), digits 0 – 9, and other symbols frequently used to represent data items. However, it has some command keys for giving special instructions to the computer.



Data & programs are input into the computer by pressing the appropriate keys. When you type data into the Keyboard devices, it converts it into machine-sensible forms.
