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.
