21. What is fetch execute cycle ?
The fetch execute cycle is the basic operation (instruction) cycle of a computer.During the fetch execute cycle, the computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory. It then establishes and carries out the actions that are required for that instruction. The cycle of fetching, decoding, and executing an instruction is continually repeated by the CPU whilst the computer is turned on.
22. What is a cache ?
