PC HARDWARE & SOFTWARE INSTALLATION


Task 1
IDENTIFYING THE PERIPHERALS OF A COMPUTER
AIM

To identify the peripherals of a computer, components in a CPU and its functions.

Introduction to Computer
The computer is an electronic device which takes the input information from the input devices and
generates the output information and it will be displayed on the output. It enables arithmetic computations,
data processing, information management and knowledge reasoning in an efficient manner.
The computer is derived from the word compute which means ‘to calculate’. So a computer generally
considered to be calculating device that perform operations at very faster rates.

Block diagram of computer

Basically the computer system has three major components. They are:
1. System unit
a. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
b. Memory unit
2. Input unit
3. Output unit

Peripherals and Components of a Computer


1. Cabinet
A computer Cabinet is also known as a "computer chassis". It holds the CPU,
memory, connectors for the hard drive and optical drives, expansion cards to control
the video and audio, and connections to your computer's ports. The components
housed inside the case (such as the CPU, motherboard, memory, mass storage
devices, power supply unit and various expansion cards) are referred as the internal
hardware, while hardware outside the case (typically cable-linked or plug-and-play
devices such as the display, speakers, keyboard, mouse and USB flash drives) are
known as peripherals.

P a g e 9 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

2. Monitor
A monitor is an electronic output device used to display information being
entered and processed on a computer. The primary use of a monitor is to
display images, text, video, and graphics information generated by the
computer via a computer's video card.

3. Keyboard
A computer keyboard is a peripheral input device. Keyboard keys
typically have a set of characters engraved or printed on them, and each
press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. In a
modern computer, the interpretation of key presses is generally left to the
software: the information sent to the computer, the scan code, tells it only
which physical key was pressed or released.

4. Mouse
A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-
dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically
translated into the motion of the pointer (called a cursor) on a display,
which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface of a
computer.

5. Printer
A printer is a peripheral machine which makes a persistent representation
of graphics or text, usually on paper. While most output is human-readable,
bar code printers are an example of an expanded use for printers. Different
types of printers include 3D printers, inkjet printers, laser printers, and
thermal printers.

6. Speakers
A computer speaker is a piece of output gear that connects to a computer to
produce sound, and as a result, we can listen to the sound like an outcome.
Speakers work by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy
(motion). The speaker allows software and firmware to provide auditory
feedback to a user, such as to report a hardware fault.

7. Scanner
A scanner is a device that captures images from photographic prints,
posters, magazine pages and similar sources for computer editing and
display. Scanners work by converting the image on the document into
digital information that can be stored on a computer through optical
character recognition (OCR).

8. System board/Motherboard
A computer's motherboard is typically the largest printed circuit board in a
machine's chassis. It distributes electricity and facilitates communication
between and to the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory
(RAM), and any other component of the computer's hardware.

P a g e 10 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

9. Socket 478
A CPU socket is a specific part on a motherboard that is purposely designed
to hold a central processing unit (CPU). A CPU socket or CPU slot is
designed with thousands of pins or contact points for power and data
transfer between the CPU and the rest of the processors on the motherboard.

10. CPU
A processor (CPU) is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the
basic instructions that drive a computer. The CPU is seen as the main and
most crucial integrated circuitry (IC) chip in a computer, as it is responsible
for interpreting most of computers commands.

11. RAM slots and RAMs


RAM is a temporary memory bank where your computer stores data
it needs to retrieve quickly.
A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot allows RAM (random-
access memory) to be inserted into the computer. Most
motherboards have two to four memory slots, which determine the
type of RAM used with the computer.

12. North bridge


A northbridge is connected directly to a CPU via the front-side bus (FSB) to
handle high-performance tasks, and is usually used in conjunction with a
slower southbridge to manage communication between the CPU and other
parts of the motherboard.

13. South bridge


The southbridge typically implements the slower capabilities of the
motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture.
South Bridge chips usually provide dual IDE ports for connecting up to and
disks, two in each channel. South Bridge chip also controls USB support on
a motherboard. South Bridge keeps a watch over overall electrical power
consumption by different parts of PC to save power.

14. CMOS battery


CMOS stands for “Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor.” The CMOS battery powers the BIOS
firmware in your laptop. BIOS need to remain operational
even when your computer isn't plugged into a power source.

15. Primary & Secondary (IDE – 1 & IDE – 2)


It Allows you to connect a hard drive or other IDE device to the system.
Usually a hard drive is connected to the IDE0/Primary connector on the
IDE cable and the IDE cable is plugged into the primary IDE controller.

P a g e 11 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

16. Input & Output ports

17. AGP slot & AGP card

An Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a point to point channel that is used for high-speed video output.
This port is used to connect graphic cards to a computer's motherboard. It increases the speed at which
machines can render graphics while using the system's resources more efficiently.

18. CI slots & PCI cards


a built-in slot on a device that allows for the attachment of various
hardware components such as network cards, modems, sound cards,
disk controllers and other peripherals.

19. BIOS chip


BIOS, pronounced "BYE-oss," stands for Basic Input Output System
and is software stored on a small memory chip in your system's
motherboard. When you boot up your system and look at the screen at
the right time, you may see a startup message that uses the term
"BIOS."

20. ATX power connector


An ATX power supply provides a number of peripheral power
connectors and (in modern systems) two connectors for the
motherboard: an 8-pin (or 4+4-pin) auxiliary connector providing
additional power to the CPU and a main 24-pin power supply
connector, an extension of the original 20-pin version.

21. Floppy connector


A floppy cable is a ribbon cable found in PCs that allows one or
more floppy disk drives to connect to a computer.

P a g e 12 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

22. Bus cables or data cables


A bus is a collection of wires through which data is transmitted from
one device to another device.

23. Hard disk drive


A hard drive or hard disk drive (HDD) is a type of data storage
device that is used in laptops and desktop computers. An HDD is a
“non-volatile” storage drive, which means it can retain the stored
data even when no power is supplied to the device.

24. CD ROM drive & CD – Writer


An external writable CD drive, also called a CD burner, lets you take
music or data files from your computer and make your own CDs.
The advent of CD burners marked a huge cultural shift.

25. Floppy disk drive


A floppy disk drive, also called FDD or FD for short, is a computer
disk drive that enables users to save data to removable diskettes.

26. SMPS
SMPS stands for Switched-Mode Power Supply. It is an electronic
power supply that uses a switching regulator to convert electrical
power efficiently. It is also known as Switching Mode Power Supply.
It is power supply unit (PSU) generally used in computers to convert
the voltage into the computer acceptable range.

Task 3

SEARCH ENGINES & NETIQUETTE


AIM

To learn about the operations of search engines.

SEARCH ENGINE:

• Even before the World Wide Web, there were search engines that attempted to organize the Internet.
• The first of these was the Archie search engine from McGill University in 1990, followed in 1991 by
WAIS and Gopher.
• All three of those systems predated the invention of the World Wide Web but all continued to index the
Web and the rest of the Internet for several years after the Web appeared.
• As the Web grew, search engines and Web directories were created to track pages on the Web and allow
people to find things.
• The first full-text Web search engine was WebCrawler in 1994. Before WebCrawler, only Web page
titles were searched. Another early search engine, Lycos, was created in 1993 as a university project,
and was the first to achieve commercial success. During the late 1990s, both Web directories and Web
search engines were popular—Yahoo! (founded 1994) and AltaVista (founded1995) were the respective
industry leaders.
• By August 2001, the directory model had begun to give way to search engines, tracking the rise of
Google (founded 1998), which had developed new approaches to relevancy ranking. Directory features,
while still commonly available, became after-thoughts to search engines. Database size, which had been
a significant marketing feature through the early 2000s, was similarly displaced by emphasis on
relevancy ranking, the methods by which search engines attempt to sort the best results first. Relevancy
ranking first became a major issue circa 1996, when it became apparent that it was impractical to review
full lists of results. Consequently, algorithms for relevancy ranking have continuously improved.
Google's PageRank method for ordering the results has received the most press, but all major search
engines continually refine their ranking methodologies with a view toward improving the ordering of
results. As of 2006, search engine rankings are more important than ever, so much so that an industry
has developed ("search engine optimizers", or "SEO") to help web-developers improve their search
ranking, and an entire body of case law has developed around matters that affect search engine rankings,
such as use of trademarks in meta tags. The sale of search rankings by some search engines has also
created controversy among librarians and consumer advocates

NETIQUETTE:

History:
Netiquette began before the 1991 start of the World. Text-based email, Telnet, Usenet, Gopher ,Wais, and
FTP from educational and research bodies dominated Internet traffic. At that time, it was considered somewhat
indecent to make commercial public postings, and the limitations of insecure, text-only communications
demanded that the community have a common set of rules. The term "netiquette" has been in use since at least
1983, as evidenced by posts of the satirical "Dear Emily" Postnews column.

Definition:
Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet. Good netiquette involves respecting others'
privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people. Three areas where good
netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups. For example, people that spam other
users with unwanted emails or flood them with messages have very badnetiquette. You don't want to be
one of those people. If you're new to a newsgroup or online chat room, it may help to observe how people
communicate with each other before jumping in.

P a g e 43 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

Netiquette (a portmanteau formed from "network etiquette") is a set of social conventions that facilitate
interaction over networks, ranging from Usenet and mailing lists to blogs and forums. However, like many
Internet phenomena, the concept and its application remain in a state of flux, and vary from community to
community.

Common characteristics:
Common rules for e-mail and USENET such as avoiding flame wars and spam are constant across most
mediums and communities. Another rule is to avoid typing in all caps or grossly enlarging script for emphasis,
which is considered to be the equivalent of shouting or yelling. Other commonly shared points, such as
remembering that one's posts are (or can easily be made) public, are generally
intuitively understood by publishers of Web pages and posters to USENET, although this rule is somewhat
flexible depending on the environment. On moreprivate protocols, however, such as e-
mail and SMS, some users take theprivacy of their posts for granted. One-on-one communications, such as
private messages on chat forums and direct SMSs, may be considered more private than other such protocols,
but infamous breaches surround even these relatively private media. For example, Paris Hilton's Sidekick PDA
was cracked in 2005, resulting in the publication of her private photos, SMS history, address book, etc.

LaTex and Word


Task 1

LaTex and Word Orientation

AIM

To study about the basic tools in LaTex and Microsoft Word.

PROCEDURE
MS – WORD

Title Bar: This is a close-up view of the Title Bar, where file information is located. Notice the three buttons on
the right side, controlling program features.

Ribbon Menu System: The tabbed Ribbon menu system is how you navigate through Word and access the
various Word commands. If you have used previous versions of Word, the Ribbon system replaces the
traditional menus.

File menu
From this menu you can perform the same functions as were found under the Microsoft Office Button menu,
such as; create a new document, open existing files, save files in a variety of ways, and print.

P a g e 51 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

Home Tab: The most commonly used commands in MS Word are also the most accessible. Some of these
commands available in the Home Tab are:

The Home Tab Toolbar offers options that can change the font, size, color, alignment, organization and style of
the text in the document. For example, (starting from the left side of the Toolbar) the "Calibri" indicates the
FONT of your text, the "11" indicates the SIZE of your text; and so on.

The Ruler: The ruler is found below the Ribbon. The ruler tells you where you are on the page, along with the
dimensions of the overall document. Just like a real-world piece of paper, the default setting is 8.5 x 11 inches,
and margins have been incorporated for you. Similar to most options in MS Word, this is entirely customizable
and the user can create document of any dimension.

P a g e 52 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

Formatting Text: Changing the look of what you've written is called "formatting." This can include changing the
text style, size, color, and more. This is a sentence that features many different fonts. This is a sentence that
features many different sizes. From the Home Tab, the "B" will make your text bold, the "I" will put it in italics,
and the "U" will add an underline to your text. These features do not have to be used independently of each other
either—in other words, you can bold, underline, and italicize a single piece of text.

Saving Documents: Click on the File Tab, then click Save to get started. You can change the file name that
Word has automatically chosen just by typing a new one in the “File name” box at the bottom of the window
that appears.

MS Word will automatically save your document with the suffix (“extension”) “.docx”—this simply lets your
computer know that the file needs to be opened in Word 2010. You do not have to type this extension name—
just highlight the words (the default is “Document1”) and write a new file name.

Finding More Help: You can get help with MS Word by clicking the Question Mark Button located in the top
right corner of the window.

LaTex

LATEX is a tool for typesetting professional-looking documents. However, LaTeX’s mode of


operation is quite different to many other document-production applications you may have used, such
as Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer: those “WYSIWYG” tools provide users with an interactive
page into which they type and edit their text and apply various forms of styling. LaTeX works very
differently: instead, your document is a plain text file interspersed with LaTeX commands used to
express the desired (typeset) results. To produce a visible, typeset document, your LaTeX file is
processed by a piece of software called a TeX engine which uses the commands embedded in your text
file to guide and control the typesetting process, converting the LaTeX commands and document text
into a professionally typeset PDF file. This means you only need to focus on the content of your
document and the computer, via LaTeX commands and the TeX engine, will take care of the visual
appearance (formatting).

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
First document. This is a simple example, with no
extra parameters or packages included.
\end{document}

The first line of code, \documentclass{article}, declares the document type known as its class, which
controls the overall appearance of the document. Different types of documents require different classes;
i.e., a CV/resume will require a different class than a scientific paper which might use the
standard LATEX article class. Having set the document class, our content, known as the body of the
document, is written between the \begin{document} and \end{document} tags. After opening the
example above, you can make changes to the text and, when finished, view the resulting typeset PDF
by recompiling the document.

P a g e 54 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

The document content was entered after the \begin{document} command; however, everything in
your .tex file appearing before that point is called the preamble, which acts as the document’s “setup”
section. Within the preamble you define the document class (type) together with specifics such as
languages to be used when writing the document; loading packages you would like to use, and it is
where you’d apply other types of configuration.

The preamble of a document

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

where \documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article} defines the overall class (type) of document.


Additional parameters, which must be separated by commas, are included in square brackets ([...]) and
used to configure this instance of the article class; i.e., settings we wish to use for this particular article-
class-based document.

Adding images

1. Use the Insert Figure button( ), located on the editor toolbar, to insert an image into Visual
Editor or Code Editor.
2. Copy and paste an image into Visual Editor or Code Editor.
3. Use Code Editor to write LaTeX code that inserts a graphic.

Creating lists in LATEX

An environment starts with \begin{environment-name} and ends with \end{environment-


name} where environment-name might be figure, tabular or one of the list types: itemize for unordered
lists or enumerate for ordered lists.

Unordered lists
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item The individual entries are indicated with a black dot, a so-called bullet.
\item The text in the entries may be of any length.
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Ordered lists
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is the first entry in our list.
\item The list numbers increase with each entry we add.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

CREATE A PROJECT CERTIFICATE USING LATEX AND WORD

AIM

To create a project certificate using LaTex and Microsoft Word.

PROCEDURE

LaTex

Bold, italics and underlining

• Bold: bold text in LaTeX is typeset using the \textbf{...} command.


• Italics: italicised text is produced using the \textit{...} command.
• Underline: to underline text use the \underline{...} command.

Title, author and date information

Adding a title, author and date to our document requires three more lines in the preamble (not the main
body of the document). Those lines are:
• \title{My first LaTeX document}: the document title
• \author{Hubert Farnsworth}: here you write the name of the author(s) and, optionally,
the \thanks command within the curly braces:
o \thanks{Funded by the Overleaf team.}: can be added after the name of the author,
inside the braces of the author command. It will add a superscript and a footnote with
the text inside the braces. Useful if you need to thank an institution in your article.
• \date{August 2022}: you can enter the date manually or use the command \today to typeset the
current date every time the document is compiled

Headers and footers

To customize the footer and header in your document use \usepackage{fancyhdr} in your preamble of
your document
• After that put \pagestyle{fancy} to set default fancy page style.
• \fancyhf{} clears any predefined header and footer control.
• \rhead{text} right side of the header.
• \lhead{text} left side of the header.

Example:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{Share\LaTeX}
\fancyhead[RE,LO]{Guides and tutorials}
\fancyfoot[CE,CO]{\leftmark}

INTRODUCTION TO MS EXCEL:
MS-EXCEL is a part of Microsoft Office suite software. It is an electronic spreadsheet with
numerous rows and columns, used for organizing data, graphically representing data(s), and
performing different calculations. It consists of 1048576 rows and 16384 columns, a row and column
together make a cell. Each cell has an address defined by column name and row number example A1,
B1, etc. This is also known as a cell reference.

What is MS Excel?
Microsoft Excel is a software application designed for creating tables to input and organize
data. It provides a user-friendly way to analyze and work with data. The image below provides a visual
representation of what an Excel spreadsheet typically appears like

What is a Cell?
A spreadsheet takes the shape of a table, consisting of rows and columns. A cell is created at the
intersection point where rows and columns meet, forming a rectangular box. Here’s an image
illustrating what a cell looks like:

What is Cell Address or Cell Reference?


The address or name of a cell or a range of cells is known as Cell reference. It helps the
software to identify the cell from where the data/value is to be used in the formula. We can reference
the cell of other worksheets and also of other programs.
Referencing the cell of other worksheets is known as external referencing.
Referencing the cell of other programs is known as remote referencing.
There are three types of cell references in Excel:
1. Relative reference.
2. Absolute reference.
3. Mixed reference.

Features of MS Excel
Ribbon

or numerically, ascending or descending (that is, from A to Z (or Z to A) for text, or lower to
higher, or higher to lower for numbers).

Boolean and Logical operators


IF function
The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel, and it allows you to make logical comparisons between a
value and what you expect.
So an IF statement can have two results. The first result is if your comparison is True, the second if your comparison is
False.

P a g e 103 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

For example, =IF(C2=”Yes”,1,2) says IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2).

cell D2 says: IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise return a 2)

AND function
Use the AND function, one of the logical functions, to determine if all conditions in a test are TRUE.
Example

The AND function returns TRUE if all its arguments evaluate to TRUE, and returns FALSE if one or more arguments
evaluate to FALSE.
One common use for the AND function is to expand the usefulness of other functions that perform logical tests. For
example, the IF function performs a logical test and then returns one value if the test evaluates to TRUE and another
value if the test evaluates to FALSE. By using the AND function as the logical_test argument of the IF function, you
can test many different conditions instead of just one.

Syntax
AND(logical1, [logical2], ...)

OR function

Use the OR function, one of the logical functions, to determine if any conditions in a test are TRUE.
Example

The OR function returns TRUE if any of its arguments evaluate to TRUE, and returns FALSE if all of its arguments
evaluate to FALSE.
One common use for the OR function is to expand the usefulness of other functions that perform logical tests. For
example, the IF function performs a logical test and then returns one value if the test evaluates to TRUE and another
value if the test evaluates to FALSE. By using the OR function as the logical_test argument of the IF function, you
can test many different conditions instead of just one.
P a g e 104 | 142
23CSE202 – IT WORKSHOP

Syntax
OR(logical1, [logical2], ...)

NOT function
Use the NOT function, one of the logical functions, when you want to make sure one value is not equal to another.
Example

The NOT function reverses the value of its argument.


One common use for the NOT function is to expand the usefulness of other functions that perform logical tests. For
example, the IF function performs a logical test and then returns one value if the test evaluates to TRUE and another
value if the test evaluates to FALSE. By using the NOT function as the logical_test argument of the IF function, you
can test many different conditions instead of just one.
Syntax
NOT(logical)
The NOT function syntax has the following arguments:
▪ Logical Required. A value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.

TRUE function

Returns the logical value TRUE. You can use this function when you want to return the value TRUE based on a
condition. For example:
=IF(A1=1,TRUE())
You can also enter the value TRUE directly into cells and formulas without using this function. For example:
=IF(A1=1,TRUE)
If the condition is met, Excel returns TRUE in both examples. If the condition is not met, Excel returns FALSE in
both examples.
Syntax
TRUE()
The TRUE function syntax has no arguments.

Apply conditional formatting


1. Select the range of cells, the table, or the whole sheet that you want to apply conditional formatting to.
2. On the Home tab, click Conditional Formatting.

P a g e 105 | 142

VLOOKUP Formula
VLOOKUP stands for Vertical Lookup. As the name specifies, VLOOKUP is a built-in Excel function that helps you
look for a specified value by searching for it vertically across the sheet. VLOOKUP in Excel may sound complicated,
but you will find out that it is a very easy and useful tool once you try it. Look at the example below to understand
VLOOKUP.
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_number,[range_lookup])

Where,
• lookup_value: This specifies the value that you want to look up in our data.
• table_array: This is the location where the values are present in excel.
• col_index_number: This specifies the column number from where we need to return the value.
• range_lookup: This has two options; if the value is set to FALSE, that means we are looking for an exact
match. If the value is TRUE, then we are looking for an approximate match.

How To Find an Exact Match Using VLOOKUP?

VLOOKUP makes it effortless to look for an exact match from the table. Let’s take a look at how to do this with the
help of an example:
• In the example below, we are using the VLOOKUP function to find the value of the exact match of ID from
the given table. So, we set the first parameter as the lookup value, which is the cell H5.

• We specify the location of the table in the second argument. As you can see, the table location is A2:F11.
• The third argument specifies the Column Index number. This tells us what value should be returned from the
row that we are looking up for. In the example, the product column is 3.
• The last argument is a Boolean Expression. Here, the value is set to FALSE for the VLOOKUP function to
return an exact match for the value. An N/A error is displayed in case the exact value is not found.

AI TOOLS – CHATGPT
Task 1

PROMPT ENGINEERING

Aim

To study about the prompt engineering and different types of prompts using ChatGPT.

PROCEDURE

What is Prompt Engineering?


Communication with AI is crucial and understanding how to communicate with it effectively is
helpful. The entire communication process revolves around writing commands which are referred to
as prompts.
High quality inputs will result in better output. Similarly, poorly defined prompts will lead to
inaccurate responses or responses that might negatively impact the user. After all, "With great power
comes great responsibility".
Prompt engineering cuts across different applications, including chatbots, content generation tools,
language translation tools, and virtual assistants.

What are Prompt Categories?

1. Information-seeking prompts - These prompts are specifically designed to gather information.


The prompts mostly answer the question What and How. Examples of such prompts: "What are
the most popular tourist attractions in Kenya?", "How do I prepare for a job interview?"
2. Instruction-based prompts - These are used to give instructions to the model to perform a
specific task. A good example of such prompts is the use of Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
For example, an instruction prompt might be "Call mom”, or “Play the latest episode from my
favorite TV show."
3. Context-providing prompts - Just as the name suggests, these prompts provide information to
the AI to help it better understand what the user needs as a response. For example, if you’re
planning a party and need some decoration ideas and activities for attendees, you can structure
your prompt like so: "I am planning a party for my child, what are some decoration ideas and
activities that the attendees might do to make it enjoyable and memorable?"
4. Comparative prompts - These are used to compare or evaluate different options given to the
model to help the user make an appropriate decision. For example: "What are the strengths and
weaknesses of Option A compared to Option B?"
5. Opinion-seeking prompts - These are designed to get the AI's opinion on a given topic. For
example: "What would happen if we could travel back in time?"
6. Reflective prompts - These prompts are designed to help individuals gain a deeper
understanding of themselves, their beliefs, and their actions. They are more like
encouragement/self-growth prompts based on a topic or personal experience. You might be
required to give the model a bit of info before getting a desirable response.
7. Role-based prompts - These prompts provide responses by framing the user's request within a
specific role. It's the most commonly used category of prompts. By giving the AI a role, it gives
responses based on the role given.

Task 2
CREATIVE WRITING

Aim

To study about creative writing using ChatGPT.

PROCEDURE

Creative writing is a major aspect of content creation that includes the development of texts, both
fictional and not, that go beyond the standard structures and norms that define styles such as
journalistic, academic, or technical writing. It's difficult to imagine that an AI system could simulate
the spontaneity that lies at the heart of creative writing; but what if we view it as an "idea generator?"
In all processes, especially creative ones, there are times when one faces a figurative or literal blank
page or even writer's block. It's in those precise moments that ChatGPT can help us find a starting
point.

Advantages of writing content with ChatGPT

1. Overcoming creative block


When writing, we often know what we want to say but not necessarily how to say it. That's where
ChatGPT can help. In those cases, you can write your idea into the prompt and receive a proposal that
may help you improve your own. The response likely won't be perfect, but you may be able to pick
and choose some words or expressions and spruce up your own writing.

2. Maintaining a consistent tone


In addition to answering specific questions, ChatGPT can also continue or complete texts. You can
make sure that all the text follows the same tone, whether it's formal and respectful for a serious topic
or familiar and colloquial for a more lighthearted one.

3. Adapting a text to the reader


ChatGPT is also able to summarize or rewrite a text to make it more understandable. This option can
be useful for adapting the information to various readers according to their level of understanding of
the subject, their context, or other needs.

4. Imitating a particular style

One of the most interesting features of ChatGPT is its ability to replicate a style of a professional, a
brand, or even a person. If you enter the keywords “act like” in the prompt, the chat will respond with
a written text emulating how it may have been written, for instance, by a journalist, by Domestika, or
by Gloria Fuertes.

5. Detecting keywords
Nowadays, it's important to ensure that your content is well-positioned and optimized for online
searches. With that in mind, ChatGPT can be used to generate and rank keywords related to the topic
you're writing about.

6. Avoiding plagiarism
When writing a text that will exist in a digital environment, it's essential to avoid publishing repeated
content. Since ChatGPT is a unique generator of text that has never been written before, it can be
used as an effective tool to avoid any hint of plagiarism.

Task 3

LANGUAGE TRANSLATION

Aim

To study about the language translation using CHatGPT.

PROCEDURE

At present ChatGPT can translate over 10,000 languages that are spoken worldwide and can be hailed
as one of the best translation tools. Also, ChatGPT is capable of handling over 25,000 words, which
can allow users to largely rely for content creation and translation.
Unlike other translation tools, ChatGPT doesn’t just provide mere translation of text from one
language to another but rather gives deep cultural and contextual meaning to the user-given
text. ChatGPT is capable of delivering the roots of the given phrase, present usage, and changes the
given phrase has taken over in time.
Tools such as Google Translator are incapable of giving a customized translation and merely giving
the meaning. By using ChatGPT, a user can adjust the tone and style of translation by giving suitable
prompts in this translation tools. As this AI bot is culture-specific, you can include cultural
connotations for such works.

Translate Languages With ChatGPT

Step 1: No Prerequisite Knowledge Required


Using ChatGPT as a language translator doesn’t demand any prior knowledge. What’s important is
your understanding of the context and the desired output.
Step 2: Create an OpenAI Account
To see the full potential of ChatGPT, you need an OpenAI account. Sign up
to https://chat.openai.com/auth/login to access the benefits it offers.
Step 3: Input Your Translation Request
Once you have your OpenAI account ready, it’s as simple as typing your translation request into the
chat box. For example, you can say, “Translate the following text from X language to Y language:
[Your Text Here].” This straightforward command initiates the translation process.
