COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device’s processor. RAM is the main memory in a computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -(It can execute programs written in other languages if they are first translated into machine language.) When the CPU executes a program, that program is stored in the computer’s main memory (also called the RAM or random access memory).

Detailed explanation-3: -RAM is used to hold data and instructions that are currently in use. 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-4: -It allows the CPU to store data, program, and program results when you switch on the computer. It is the read and write memory of a computer, which means the information can be written to it as well as read from it. RAM is a volatile memory, which means it does not store data or instructions permanently.

Detailed explanation-5: -RAM stands for Random Access Memory. Physically, it is a series of chips in your computer. When your computer is turned on, it loads data into RAM. Programs that are currently running, and open files, are stored in RAM; anything you are using is running in RAM somewhere.
