6. The main concepts
Binary number system- a numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols.
Gates- A device that performs a basic operation on electrical signals, accepting one or more input signals and producing a single output signal
Circuit- A combination of interacting gates designed to accomplish a specific logical function.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU)- a description of logic machines that can execute computer programs it is the “brains” of the computer.

7. The main concepts
Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)- performs basic arithmetic operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing two numbers.
Input unit- A device that accepts data to store in the memory
Output unit- A device that prints or otherwise displays data stored in memory or makes a permanent copy of information stored in memory or another device.
Control unit- computer component that controls that controls the actions of the other components so as to execute instructions in sequence.
Assembly language- A low-level programming language in which a mnemoric represents each of the machine- language instructions for a particular computer.
