What is the primary function of the CPU in a computer, as described in the text?

<p>The primary function of the CPU in a computer is to process the coded commands and instructions, acting as the central processing unit that executes the organized commands to perform actions and provide output or results.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the two types of instructions mentioned in the text and provide examples for each type.

<p>The two types of instructions mentioned are (1) Instruction given by the user and (2) Instruction that is pre-CODED in any device. An example of user instruction is typing a command to perform a specific task, while an example of pre-CODED instruction is a built-in command in a software.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Discuss the significance of a program or software in the context of obtaining desired output, as explained in the text.

<p>A program or software helps a user to obtain the desired output by processing input data according to pre-coded instructions or user-defined commands. It acts as a tool to facilitate efficient and accurate execution of tasks, ultimately providing the expected results.</p> Signup and view all the answers
