This is the machine cycle

The next topic is about the Machine Cycle.
 The machine cycle is a 4 process cycle that includes reading and interpreting the machine language, executing the code and then storing that code.

4 steps:
  1. Fetch - Retrieve an instruction from the memory.
  2. Decode - Translate the retrieved instruction into a series of computer commands.
  3. Execute - Execute the computer commands.
  4. Store - Sand and write the results back in memory
