What part of a computer performs arithmetic and logical operations?

The computer's central processing unit (CPU) contains three sections: the control unit, the registers and the arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The ALU is mainly a digital circuit and has two parts itself: the arithmetic unit and the logic unit - this latter functions with the AND, NOT and OR commands.

The ALU works in this way: the operation code tells the ALU what operation to perform and the operands perform it. It has direct contact with input and output devices and memory (RAM)

The part of the computer which performs the arithmetic and logical operations is called ALU(Arithmetic Logical Unit).
