Detailed explanation-1: -RAM (Random Access Memory) is the internal memory of the CPU for storing data, programs, and program results. It is a read/write memory that stores data until the machine is working. As soon as the machine is switched off, data is erased.
Detailed explanation-2: -While RAM is a computer’s short-term memory, ROM (read-only memory) is the unique set of instructions a computer needs to turn on. Your computer’s general storage is where information is stored in bulk. Since their acronyms are so similar, you may confuse RAM and ROM. But they’re two very different types of memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: RAM is short-term memory. It is used to store information over the short term, while the computer is processing it. Afterwards, such as when the program ends or when the computer is shut down, the memory is erased.
