D is for Digital is a book written by Brian Kernighan.
A digital computer contains a (1) and (2).
The (1) executes simple (3) very quickly. It can decide what to do next based on the results of earlier computations and (4) from the outside world. The (2) contains both (5) and (3) that determine how to process the (5).
A computer is a general-purpose machine. It stores its (3) in (2), and one can change the computations it performs by putting different (3) in the (2).
These are digital computers: everything is ultimately reduced to bits (binary digits), which individually or in groups represent information, whether (3) or (5), as binary numbers. Anything that we are able to reduce to bits can be represented and processed by a digital computer.
