The ALU (arithmetic logic unit) An ALU loads data from input registres, an external Control Unit then tells the ALU what operation to perform on that data, and then the ALU stores its result into an output register. Other mechanisms move data between these registers and memory.

An arithmetic operation combines two numbers while a logical operation uses two logical values which can be true or false. The arithmetic operation uses adding or subtraction to reach the correct answer.
In computing, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit that performs arithmetic and logical operations. The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central processing unit of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessors contain one for purposes such as maintaining timers. The processors found inside modern CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs) accommodate very powerful and very complex ALUs; a single component may contain a number of ALUs.
