Q

What is the name for a microprocessor’s sequence of commands and instructions?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Microprocessor basics – what it does with instructions stored in memory • Difference between instructions/commands and data • Common term in computing for a stored set of instructions that a processor follows

💭 Think About

• Which option names something that could contain MANY individual instructions, not just one? • Which word is most commonly used in computers when you talk about what a CPU or microprocessor is told to DO step‑by‑step? • Which choices sound more like types of data versus the list of instructions that act ON the data?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice means a complete set of instructions for a processor, not just a part or pattern • Eliminate any answers that mainly describe data itself rather than instructions for processing data • Ask: could this term correctly describe the software that tells hardware what steps to take?
