A computer can only do these things:Load a register from memory.Write a register to memoryConditionally turn a bit on. (or)Conditionally turn a bit off. (and)Conditionally invert a bit. (xor).Negate a registerAdd two numbers.Shift a number.Test the adder’s output for positive, negative, zero, or overflow and conditionally change the address of the next instruction.Everything else is an extension of the instruction set or a program responding to attributes assigned to data.
