Mention what is the difference between microprocessor and microcontroller?..

Answer / Girvinder Kour

A Microprocessor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) designed to perform general-purpose computing. It lacks built-in peripherals like memory, timers, and input/output controllers. In contrast, a Microcontroller is a compact computer that incorporates one or more microprocessors, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals all on a single integrated circuit. This makes microcontrollers ideal for embedded systems.
