Differentiate between Analog and Digital Computer with suitable examples
The difference between Analog and Digital computers are as follow:
Analog Computer
(1) Information is represented by the magnitude of continuously varying signals
(2) They are not accurate as digital computers.
(3) Things done in analog computer can be done in digital computer.
(4) Analog computer is used for scientific research only and it is rarely used.
(5) It needs much mathematical background to use and understand
(6) Plesely, Speedometer, thermometer, seismograph etc
Digital Computer
Information is represented by electronic pulses( "On" or "Off")
They are very much accurate

Things done in digital computer cannot be done in analog computer

Digital computer is widely used even for general purpose

There is no need of much mathematical background to use and understand

Calculater, video games etc.
