Von Neumann structure

The Von Neumann structure is a design for computers where both data and instructions are stored in the same memory space. This means the computer's memory holds not only the information it processes but also the programs that tell it what to do. The CPU fetches instructions and data from this shared memory, processes them, and then stores the results back. This architecture simplifies design and allows flexible programming, forming the foundation of most modern computers, making it easier to develop and run a wide variety of software.
