        The actually computer bit of a computer is called a central processing unit or CPU for short. It is an electronic circuit that does most of the work for the computer and carries out the computer programmes.

        Thanks for your question!

        There are lots of pieces that go into a computer however the central processing unit (CPU) is like the brain of the computer.
