An Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a critical component of a computer's CPU that performs arithmetic and logical operations. Examples of ALUs include the 74181, a 4-bit ALU used in early microprocessors, and the ALUs integrated into modern processors like Intel's Core series or AMD's Ryzen series, which can handle complex calculations and logical operations at high speeds. Additionally, ALUs are found in digital circuits and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) designs used for various applications.
Arithmetic logic unit
The Arithmetic Logic Unit as suggested by the name carries out the arithmetic calculations of the computer.
The arithmetic logic unit or ALU performs arithmetic, logic, and integer operations. ALU was created by mathematician John von Neumann in 1945.
The ALU performs arithmetic and logic operations. ALU stands for Arithmetic Logic Unit.

That's done by the ALU (arithmetic and logic unit).
There is a special part of the CPU that performs Arithmetic and Logical calculations. Its called Arithmetic Logic Unit ( ALU ).
The arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) within the computer's central processing unit (CPU) carries out arithmetic operations. Some designs also support a dedicated floating-point processing unit (FPU), which carries out arithmetic, trigonometric and logic operations based on floating-point variable types.
