                                  I have learnt about tables, addition, subtraction, etc. in previous classes

                                  and it is all saved in my memory. How does a computer save so much

                                  data and information?

                                  Computers also have memory to store all the data and instructions for

                                  performing various tasks and functions. Let me tell you about memory

                                  and its function.


                   Memory



                  The storage space in a computer is called memory. The data and instructions that are
                  entered into the computer using input devices are stored inside the memory. Computer

                  memory is where data and information are kept. The CPU (Central Processing Unit)
                  gets data from memory to work on it. Once it has finished processing, it sends the

                  updated data back to memory for storage. There are two types of memory: Primary
                  memory and Secondary memory.
