A '''program counter''' ('''PC''', or sometimes '''instruction counter''') is a register in the [[CPU]] of a computer which indicates where, in the execution of the program in [[main memory]], the CPU is. The PC is usually updated automatically during the execution of each instruction to point to the next instruction. If the instruction is a jump, that updating is usually replaced by loading the target of the jump into the PC.
