Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is a fundamental component of a
computer's central processing unit (CPU) that performs
arithmetic and logical operations on binary data.The
arithmetic operations performed by the ALU include
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The
ALU can also perform bitwise operations, such as shifting
bits left or right, as well as logical operations, such as
AND, NOT.

The ALU operates on binary data, which is represented in
a computer as a series of 1s and 0s. The ALU takes in one
or more inputs, performs the requested operation, and
produces a result as output. The ALU is responsible for
carrying out the instructions of a program and providing
the results of those instructions to the rest of the CPU for
further processing. The speed and efficiency of the ALU
have a significant impact on the overall performance of a
computer

An arithmetic unit is a component of a computer's
central processing unit (CPU) that performs
arithmetic and logic operations on binary data. It is
responsible for carrying out basic arithmetic
operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division, as well as logical
operations such as AND, OR, and NOT
Logic Unit
The ALU performs simple addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, and logic operations, such
as OR and AND. The memory stores the program's
instructions and data.
