A microprocessor, sometimes called logic chip is a computer processor or microchip. It incorporates the fuctions of a computer's central procesing unit(CPU) on a singel integrated cirtuit(IC).
It runs programmes from the operating system to user applications; it just runs programmed instructions in low-level language, performing arithmetic operations, such as add, subtract, multiply, divide, binary logic and memory accesses.
