Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is an arithmetic-logic unit (ALU)? An arithmetic-logic unit is the part of a central processing unit that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units: an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU).

Detailed explanation-2: -…of a control unit, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a memory unit, and input/output (I/O) controllers. The ALU performs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and logic operations, such as OR and AND. The memory stores the program’s instructions and data.

Detailed explanation-3: -An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a key component of a computer’s central processor unit. The ALU performs all arithmetic and logic operations that must be performed on instruction words. The ALU is split into two parts in some microprocessor architectures: the AU and the LU.

Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution ALU: It stands for an arithmetic-logic unit. It is a part of a computer processor (CPU), capable of carrying out arithmetic and logic operations.

Detailed explanation-5: -ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logical Unit which performs Arithmetic functions like Addition, subtraction, division, etc. CU stands for control unit which performs the task of controlling functions of the computer.
