Data Processing

Logical and arithmetic operations performed on data. These operations may be performed manually, mechanically, or electronically: sorting through a card file by hand would be an example of the first method; using a machine to obtain cards from a file would be an example of the second method; and using a computer to access a record in a file would be an example of the third method.
