What makes a computer programmable and not a single purpose machine?
In: Technology
It’s whole structure.
The CPU is just a blank calculation machine. It gets data and commands from the memory and writes data back into the memory, so what it does depends fully on what is saved in there.
An analogy would be a toolbox, you have different tools, for different tasks, but the order and how you use them can be freely chosen.
I hope this answers what you were asking because I don’t fully understand your question
