enabling everything to happen. A microprocessor is made from miniaturized
transistors and other circuit elements on a single

semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) . These are made up oof semiconductor and
silicon.

Microprocessor are composed of components which has only two states either 0
or 1. Binary number system is also composed of these two states.

Microprocessor till today only understand the machine language and machine
language is only based on binary number system. Even today’s 64 bit
microprocessors are also based on this technology.
