Question

The processing of data in a computer involves the interplay between its various hardware components.

Answer 1

True.

Data processing involves the conversion of raw data and the flow of data through the Central Processing Unit and Memory to output devices. Each CPU in a computer contains two primary elements: the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and the control unit. The Arithmetic Logic Unit performs complex mathematical calculations and logical comparisons. On the other hand, the control unit accesses computer instructions, decodes them, and controls the flow of data in and out of the Memory, ALU, primary and secondary storage, and various other output devices.
