The document discusses the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), including its functions, history, and uses. The ALU is a digital circuit that performs integer arithmetic and logical operations. It is part of computer microprocessors and was first proposed in 1945 by mathematician John Von Neumann. The ALU allows computers to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction using binary code, as well as logical operations on data during processing.

operation and logic It’s part of computer microprocessor simplest microprocessors contain one for purposes such as maintaining timers. History of ALU
John Von Neumann proposed the ALU in 1945
He was a Mathematician WHAT IS ALU?
ALU is the digital circuit that performs integer
arithmetic and logical operation. ALU stand for Arithmetic logic unit ALU DIAGRAM ARITHMETIC OPERATION
The basic Arithmetic operation is calculation most
operation.
Arithmetic operation using for adding,
subtracting.
The computer uses binary code system to do
arithmetic operations. LOGICAL OPERATION There are several logical operation. NOT and or NOT.
Logical operation is performed on data it is called by data
processing
To perform logical operation examples performed certain
logical operation
MEMORY USAGE Two type of memory RAM and ROM.
RAM is main working memory used by the computer
When you switch on the computer it is copied into ram
Rom it is a special type of memory it holds software
Video cards and network card also contain in rom
