what is output

Output refers to any information processed by and sent from a computer or electronic device. It can be viewed on a screen or printed on paper as a result of a particular program. Outputs are the signals or data sent from a system, while inputs are the signals or data received by the system. There are four basic types of output: audio output, graphics output, text output, and video output. Examples of output include digital music files, digitized speech, podcasts, screen readers, speech synthesis, text-to-speech, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) . The amount of output produced by a person or machine in a given time is also referred to as output. In addition, output can refer to the result of an activity, such as a new feature launched by a music streaming service.
