The instructions that a processor understands are known as the Instruction Set.

The task of combining instructions to perform some task is known as programming. This is not necessarily done directly. Writing a program by specifying entities from the Instruction Set is called machine code programming if the instructions' numeric values are used, or Assembly Language programming if the instructions are called up by short names called mnemonics. These are both low level procedures, referred to by their users as 'working on the bare metal'.

Most programming today is done using high level languages. Here the programmer writes instructions which are often close to english, where one instruction calls for something quite complex to be done. The processor does not understand these instructions. Another program, called an Interpreter or a Compiler, is used to translate the high level instructions into the (low level) ones from the Instruction Set which the processor does understand.

A processor built in instructions are store as?

A processor's built-in instructions are stored in its microcode, which is a low-level set of commands that control the processor's hardware. These instructions dictate how the processor executes higher-level machine code and manage the various operations of the CPU. Typically, microcode resides in a special memory within the processor, allowing it to be quickly accessed during instruction execution. This enables the processor to perform complex tasks efficiently by translating higher-level instructions into machine-level operations.
