The - is a fundamental process that occurs within the central processing unit () of a computer. It consists of multiple s, executed in a specific , to and execute s stored in .
Once the instruction is fetched, the CPU moves on to the step. In this step, the CPU analyzes the fetched instruction and determines what operation it needs to . The decode step is crucial as it allows the CPU to understand the instruction and prepares it for execution.
