What are the steps involved in following a particular instruction given by the CPU?

The following steps are followed-

- The instruction pointer tells the instruction fetch where in the memory the instruction is.

- The fetch takes the instruction and gives it to the decoder, which determines the steps that are necessary to fulfill the instructions.

- The information is then sent to the ALU, which performs the instructions that need to be performed. This includes adding, subtracting, or manipulating the data further.

- Finally, the instructions are sent out into the computer where they are needed.
