control unit
compiler unit
arithmetic/logic unit
primary memory unit
I assume the control unit consists of the arithmetic/logic unit %26amp; the primary memory unit refers to the RAM??? ...so my guess is the compiler unit is not an electronic part of the computer...but i'm not sure...which is why i'm asking! =)|||You are correct, compiler unit is not. It is software used to translate high level language code to machine or assembly code.|||Right. A compiler is software that converts human readable text into binary data that can be read into memory and executed by the control/ALU unit. So it's software, not hardware.|||A "compiler unit" would be something electronic. A compiler is software. (Any teacher using the phrase "compiler unit' when teaching about computers isn't qualified to even use a computer, let alone teach about them.)
