Detailed explanation-1: -Control: The function of the control unit is to execute the instructions of a program, one by one, in the desired sequence. It interprets each instruction and then prompts its execution by one of the units like input, output, ALU, storage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The actual mathematical operation for each instruction is performed by a combinational logic circuit within the CPU’s processor known as the arithmetic–logic unit or ALU. In general, a CPU executes an instruction by fetching it from memory, using its ALU to perform an operation, and then storing the result to memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -The arithmetic/logic unit executes the arithmetic or logical instruction. That is, the ALU is given control and performs the actual operation on the data. Thc arithmetic/logic unit stores the result of this operation in memory or in a register. Steps 3 and 4 together are called execution time, or E-time.
