Question Question 12
What is the role of memory in a computer functioning ? What types of memory does the computer work with?
The memory of a computer is more like a predefined working place, where it temporarily keeps information and data to facilitate its performance. When the task is performed, it clears its memory and memory space is then available for the next task to be performed.
The computer works with two types of main memory:
- Random Access Memory
- Read Only Memory
Since the main memory is volatile, the computer also uses secondary memory to store data permanently.
