Question on: SS2 ICT - Central Processing Unit (CPU)
How does the ALU handle arithmetic and logical operations on binary data?
The ALU operates on binary data by using the principles of Boolean logic. It uses electronic circuits to perform addition, subtraction, and other arithmetic operations by manipulating binary digits (0s and 1s). For logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT, the ALU compares corresponding bits in the input data and produces the desired output based on the logical rules. The ALU's circuits and components are designed to handle these operations at the electronic level, converting binary data into the desired results.
