Information processor

An information processor or information processing system, as its name suggests, is a system (be it electrical, mechanical or biological) which takes information (a sequence of enumerated states) in one shape and processes (transforms) it into another shape, e.g. to statistics, by an algorithmic process.

An information processing system is made up of four basic parts, or sub-systems:

Input
Processor
Storage
Output
