Explanation:
The CPU is made up of two parts: ALU and registers. There are two types
of registers: dedicated and status. Dedicated registers are program counters that
point to memory locations which hold the next instructions. Status registers hold
state information.
Dedicate registers are NOT program counters. Dedicate registers hold information such as program counter, stack pointer and PSW.
