Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -RAM is a temporary data storage domain, whereas ROM serves as a semi-permanent storage domain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of its volatility, RAM can’t store permanent data. RAM can be compared to a person’s short-term memory, and a hard disk drive to a person’s long-term memory. Short-term memory is focused on immediate work, but it can only keep a limited number of facts in view at any one time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Read only memory (ROM) is the permanent memory which is used to store these important control programs and systems software to perform a variety of functions, such as booting up or starting up programs. ROM is non-volatile. Data in RAM is not permanently written.
