    Well that is not correct. YOu are basically talking about the microprocessor.
    A muController is a Microprocessing unit with in-built memory, serial & parallel communication modules, A-to-D converters and a host of other features which make it a standalone computational device.

    1.Micro controller :- A highly integrated chip that contains all the components comprising acontroller.
    2.Array :- An array can be defined as a number of memory locations , each of which can store the same data type and which can be referenced through the same variable name.
    An array is a collective name given to a group of similar quantities.
    3.C.P.U :- C.P.U stands for Central Processing Unit.
    CPU is the brain of the computer where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system.The central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system.

    @zaveri, development is a specified state of growth or advancement.
    And, my question is what is a markup language?

    A markup language is the one in which you cannot build logic but just the outer design.

    A switch can be an example. You can make the physical switch with markup language, but what happens when the switch is pressed has to be done in programming language.
