Explanation by: Rakesh Yadav 
When a computer obeys the instructions in a computer program it is said to be running or executing the program. Before a computer can execute a computer program, the program must be resident in memory. Once the program is loaded into memory then the following sequence is carried out: Set instructions address to the address of the first instruction. While program not finished { Fetch instruction from current instruction address. Update current instruction address, execute the fetch instruction. } This sequence is called the execution cycle.
