Project

🧑‍💻 This is an individual project. It will require a bit more work than the weekly exercises you have done so far. However, the course material has covered everything you need to attempt this successfully.

If you get stuck, confused, or have trouble with the project, you should use the #help-prog1 channel in Discord or message an instructor. Try not to spoil the project for others - use Discord spoiler tags if you are going to include a screenshot or code sample.

Microprocessor Simulation

The microprocessor is the chip at the heart of every computer. Inside the microprocessor is an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that performs very simple operations on numbers.

In this project, you will write a program that simulates a bit of what a microprocessor does. You'll use lots of helper functions. Since your program will be larger than the programs you've written before, you'll have to think carefully about how you organize your code, and how it works together.
