Digital Computer: These are computer that perform calculations by counting precisely. It
is so called because it functions by taking discrete numbers and performing
mathematical calculation on them. E.g. 0,1,2,3,4,………….), counting on ones
fingers is probably the simplest digital operations we know. Another example is
the digital wristwatch, which shows the exact time in discrete form.

Analogue Computer:  These are
computers, which measures changes in continuous and physical form. Example,
Gas- pressure, temperature, voltage, shift rotation, electric current e.g. NEPA
control room. A fuel pump at the filing station uses analogue device, which
measure the quantity petrol to the nearest kobo. A speedometer is another
example and also winds vane weather prediction etc. 
Hybrid Computer:  These are computers that combine both the quality
analogue and digital computers, hybrid computers are known to have found
appreciation in control and feed back processes.
