A programme counter is a register in a computer processor that stores the address (position) of the currently executed instruction. The programme counter increments its stored value by one for each instruction fetched. The programme counter moves to the next instruction in the sequence after each instruction is fetched. The programme counter generally resets to 0 when the machine restarts or is reset.
A programme is a set of ordered operations for a computer to do in computing. A computer processor receives an instruction from a software. An address in a computer refers to a specific memory or storage space. A register is one of the processor's modest number of data storage areas.
