In a modern PC, RAM is used to hold the operating system and any open documents and programs that are running. RAM can be read from and written to. The contents of RAM can be changed at any time by overwriting it with other data and instructions.

Detailed explanation-2: -RAM stores the data that helps your computer perform its most important tasks, such as loading apps, browsing websites, and editing documents. RAM lets you open apps and files quickly, because your computer can easily find the data in its short-term memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the CPU executes a program, that program is stored in the computer’s main memory (also called the RAM or random access memory). In addition to the program, memory can also hold data that is being used or processed by the program.
