What is a Microprocessor?
A Microprocessor is a device that executes instructions. It is a single-chip device that fetches the instruction from the memory, decodes it and executes it. A Microprocessor can carry out 3 basic functions:
Mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Move data from one memory location to another
Make decisions based on conditions and jump to new different instructions based on the decision.
