Describe the main functions of the Arithmetic a... - SS2 ICT Central Processing Unit (CPU) Question

The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is responsible for performing mathematical calculations (arithmetic operations) and logical operations on binary data. It receives inputs from registers, processes the data based on the instructions received from the Control Unit, and produces outputs that are either stored back in registers or sent to memory. The ALU performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, AND, OR, NOT, and other basic operations using binary logic.
