Input in computer refers to any information or data that is sent to a computer for processing. This information is typically sent to the computer from an external device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen.

In addition to these devices, input can also come from a piece of software. Once the data has been entered into the computer, it can be processed and the inputted instruction can be carried out.
