Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
CISC stands for ____
A
Complex instruction set computer
B
Computer instruction set complex type
C
Common instruction set computer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A computer in which individual instructions may perform many operations and take many cycles to execute, in contrast with reduced instruction set computer (RISC).

Detailed explanation-2: -A complex instruction set computer (CISC /ˈsɪsk/) is a computer architecture in which single instructions can execute several low-level operations (such as a load from memory, an arithmetic operation, and a memory store) or are capable of multi-step operations or addressing modes within single instructions.

Detailed explanation-3: -CISC supports complex instructions that can be carried out across multiple clock cycles, while RISC must use simple instructions that can be executed within a single cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -RISC is an abbreviation for Reduced Instruction Set Computer, while CISC is an abbreviation for Complex Instruction Set Computer. Out of these, the RISC processors have a comparatively smaller set of instructions along with few addressing nodes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: CISC Processor : It is known as Complex Instruction Set Computer.
