Give an example of how the stored program concept work?

Back (Answer)

Fetch – the first instruction fetched is the ADD instruction. The next two items (9 and 5) fetched are determined by the control unit as data. Decode – translate the instruction so the processor understands that the first number is to be added to the second number. Execute – Calculate 9 + 5 = 14. Note that the process is serial and line 1 goes through the cycle, followed by line 2, etc.
