What is RAM?

 

RAM (read only memory ) 

RAM stands for random access memory whether all the data will be stored. in fact the RAM has been provided for storing the data as primary storage devices, while typing anything it directly stores in electronic circuit and it works continuously till power continues for instance while studying anything it comes at our mind then only we can write it into our copies or any source, it means it goes through a reading procedure from input devices to RAM to secondary devices like floppy/hard-disk etc. Due to its features it is also known as Read/write memory.

functioning of RAM when you run a application on your computer, it is loaded into memory and the instructions coded in it are executed. program code and data are a simple collection of bytes. memory 

memory is a device that holds that state of this collection of bytes. any new application that is demands more more memory for running. The processor needs to access the code and data in any area of memory in any order. This method of access is called Random Access. it's much quicker to access data in memory as compared to reading from your hard drive or a floppy disk.

Point to be remembered.

Damage with power failure: it should be noted that this data is lost once you shutdown you machine interruption in electric supply causes an immediate loss of data. when your machine is switched on again, the operating system loads that necessary files from secondary memory into the RAM and the required information is accessible once that focuses on data currently in use.
