Program counter

A program counter (PC) is a register that stores where a computer program is being executed by a processor. It is also commonly called the instruction pointer (IP) in Intel x86 and Itanium microprocessors, and sometimes called the instruction address register (IAR), the instruction counter, or just part of the instruction sequencer.
