  • Peripheral have a unique task to perform on computer
  • Peripheral input device to send input value
  • Peripheral is used to provide the output data
  • Peripheral is used to store the data


Let's discuss the points listed above about the computer system and peripherals related to the topic of "What is the function of peripherals?" explanation following below here:


Peripheral have a unique task to perform on computer

Peripherals have a unique task to perform on the computer system because they are used to make a schedule and fast to manage the instructions on the computer system.

Peripherals are used to perform a task according to the program that manages the instructions which is used to process by the CPU on the computer system.

The peripheral is used to perform a task such as:- to send input data to the computer system, to store the data on the memory space of the storage device on the computer system, to provide the output data takes some instructions to provide the output data to the end user as computed by the program of the operating system or application software.

The peripheral is a device that provides the service to the end user and the user can use the service on the computer system to get the solution on the application software or operating system depending on the program to compute the value for providing the output data.


Peripheral input device to send input value

Peripheral input devices to send the input value on the computer system depends on the application software or operating system to compute the input value and provide the output data to the output interface for display form through the output peripheral is known as a monitor output device of the computer system.

The input peripherals such as:- keyboard input device is basically used for typing work on the document file application software to enter the text data on the file.

The mouse input peripheral is used to perform editing work on the application software on the image file, audio file, video file and the text data on the file.

The editing work such as:- cut the data and replace the data from the different data on the file depends on the data type and its file to store the edited data on the file on the application software or operating system on the computer system.


Peripheral is used to provide the output data

Peripherals are used to provide the output data to the end user through the output peripheral depending on the category of the peripheral of the computer system.

Peripheral is used to provide the output data to the end user on the computer system and the output data is provided by the program to control the peripheral to provide the output data to the end user.

The output data comes from the program which is used to provide the output data and control the peripheral to provide the output data through the specific output peripheral on the computer system.

The peripheral is used to provide the output depending on the data type such as if the output data is used to display on the output peripheral is a monitor output device to provide the display form of the data on the screen of the monitor output device of the computer system.


Peripheral is used to store the data

Peripheral is used to store the data on the space of the memory device of the permanent memory category devices of the computer system. The peripheral is used to store the data on the storage device of the computer system which is a category of the permanent memory to store the data for a long time to access the data and retrieve the data when the user wants to access and use the data from the permanent memory.

The temporary memory is used to store the data on the space of the memory of the temporary memory peripheral of the computer system that is used to store the data for a short time till another program will execute on the temporary memory or store some file on the temporary memory of the computer system.

The temporary memory is used to remove the data when the end user turns off the computer system then the temporary memory is used to provide the blank space of the memory of the computer system to store the executed program or running file on the operating system or the application software is running on the computer system.
