  • Data procesing refers to the transformation of raw data into meaningful output (primarily done by a computer).
  • It is the conversion of human language (text or sometimes speech) into a machine-readable form- mainly to binary form, with quantum computers being an exception.
  • It is very important because machines and algorithms cannot understand human language.
