Central processing

Central processing refers to the core functions of a computer's brain—the central processing unit (CPU). It interprets and executes instructions from programs, managing tasks like calculations, data handling, and decision-making. Essentially, it coordinates all activities in a computer, ensuring information flows correctly between memory, storage, and peripherals. The CPU's speed and efficiency significantly impact overall system performance. Think of it as the control center that processes incoming information and directs the computer’s actions.
