Memory

Memory is a fundamental component of a computer system, used to store data and instructions required for processing. It ensures that the CPU can access information quickly during program execution.

1.4.1 Primary Memory (RAM)

Primary memory, also called Random Access Memory (RAM), is the main working area of a computer. It is a fast storage area where the computer keeps the data and instructions temporarily. Its data is erased when the computer is turned off. Example: When you open a Word document, the computer quickly places the program and the document into RAM so the CPU can work on them right away.
