most computers, individual instructions are stored as machine code with each instruction being given a unique number (its operation code or opcode for short). the command to add two numbers together

the location of this required data is typically stored within the instruction code. since the program counter is (conceptually) just another set of memory cells, it can be changed by calculations done in the ALU. adding 100 to the program counter would cause the next instruction to be read from a place 100 locations further down the pro It is noticeable that the sequence of operations that the control unit goes through to process an instruction is in itself like . each cell has a numbered In almost all modern computers, each memory cell is set up to store binary numbers in groups of eight
