Machine Cycle

Now we're done with Binary, let's move on to Machine Cycle.

Machine cycle is the basic process performed by a CPU which is the main logic unit of a computer. Machine Cycle only consists of four processes, mainly:

1. Fetch - retrieve an instruction from the main memory
2. Decode - translate the retrieved instruction into a series of computer commands.
3. Execute - execute the computer commands
4. Store - write the results back in memory.
