What are the two main types of operations performed by the arithmetic logic unit (ALU)?

A
  • Input operations (e.g. keyboard, sensors)
  • Output operations (e.g. display, printing)
B
  • Fetch operations (e.g. reading, loading)
  • Decode operations (e.g. interpreting, signalling)
C
  • Transfer operations (e.g. moving, copying)
  • Control operations (e.g. timing, coordinating)
