I/O Operations

Input/Output (I/O) operations are the processes computers use to communicate with the outside world. Input involves receiving data from devices like keyboards, mice, or sensors, while output sends data to devices such as monitors, printers, or speakers. These operations enable users to interact with computers and for devices to exchange information. Essentially, I/O bridges the internal workings of a computer and its external environment, allowing data to flow in and out efficiently. Proper I/O management is crucial for smooth system performance and effective communication between hardware and software.
