It prevents other cases from being tested if the current one returns true.
What is the CPU?
Central Processing Unit
The “brain” of the computer.
What is the ISA?
Instruction Set Architecture
The specific set of low-level instructions available to a CPU.
What is the ALU?
Arithmetic & Logic Unit
Responsible for performing arithmetic calculations as well as logical operations (comparisons of equality and inequality, etc.)
What is the Main Memory (RAM)?
Random Access Memory
Storage close to CPU that is faster to access than the hard disk. It stores executing programs and data being currently worked on.
What is Secondary Memory?
SSD, Hard Disk, DVD, etc.
What are some examples of input devices?
Mouse, keyboard, scanner, network card, etc.
