ABSTRACT
All valuers are familiar with the need for efficient means of storing and gaining access to data, together with the need for efficient aids to calculation in the form of valuation tables or electronic calculators. The computer combines both these functions together with other aids to the professions of the land. The computer is a sophisticated and very fast-calculating machine with an ability to record information and present it on demand neatly and rapidly and in all kinds of arrays. It cannot make independent judgments but can only carry out instructions. A computer would be an aid to many of the calculations and methods adopted in this book.
