Can you tell me about the components of a computer?

A computer is made up of several parts that are essential to its function. These components include the processor, which is responsible for executing commands; the main memory, which stores data; the secondary storage, which consists of hard drives, flash memory, and optical discs; the input devices, which allow the user to interact with the computer; the output devices, which display the results of commands; and the motherboard, which connects all of the components, making them able to communicate with one another.
