The part of the computer that performs calculations is the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The CPU is often referred to as the "brain" of the computer because it carries out instructions from programs, processes data, and performs arithmetic and logical operations. Specifically, the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), a component within the CPU, is responsible for carrying out the actual calculations and logical decisions.
