Explanation

Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and logic operation.

Explanation

A register is a small, high-speed storage location within the CPU that temporarily holds data or instructions needed for immediate processing.

The control unit directs the CPU to access data from registers and use it for various operations. 

Explanation

Explanation

Distributed data entry refers to the process where data is entered by multiple individuals or from multiple locations,

Eather than being done at a single central location

This approach can improve efficiency and speed in large-scale operations.

Explanation

A register in which data can be shifted only in one direction is called unidirectional shift register, while if data can shifted in both directions, it is known as a bidirectional shift register.

Explanation

• CPU  is used to process data in the PC
• ***
• The processor, more formally known as the central processing unit (CPU)
• A processing device is any device inside a computer that interprets and manipulates incoming data during this stage.
  

Explanation

• The arranging of data in a logical sequence is called Sorting.
• ****
• Sorting is the process of rearranging a sequence of objects so as to put them in some logical order.
• Sorting plays a major role in commercial data processing and in modern scientific computing
  

Explanation

There are five basic types of computer operations: Inputting, processing, outputting, storing, and controlling.
