Question

Name and explain the types of memory in computer

Answer 1

Answer:

RAM and ROM

Explanation:

• RAM (Random Access Memory) - Random access memory is a type of memory that can access information of any file and can store it anywhere. Hence, the name, random. It is a volatile memory, ie., if the electricity goes off, all the stored data will be lost. For example, when we install a game or an app, the temporary files are firstly stored into RAM.And when we close it, it may or may not run on the background.
• ROM ( Read Only Memory) - As the name suggests, this part of memory does only reading function and not writing function. It's also known as non-volatile because since we don't make any changes, even if the power goes down, it will not affect the already written ones.

Hope you got a better view about the main types of memory in a computer.
