Memory is used for the purpose of running programs, for example, your text editor. The text editor stores the file you are editing as what is known as a 'buffer' in your memory instead of modifying the file in-place. This is what makes undo/redo possible.

What can be stored in the main memory of a computer system?
Computer memory
Global variables are stored in?
Main memory (RAM).
What is a cache?
Answer:- The Cache memory is placed between the CPU and the main memory. It is a fast speed memory and is expensive and faster than the main memory. Cache memory is used to store the frequently accessed data of main memory. The instructions that are frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache memory. It is used to reduce the average access time for address, instructions or data, which are normally stored in the main memory. Cache memory increases the operating speed of the system. But is much costlier than main memory. From economic considerations, the capacity of the cache memory is much less as compared to main memory..
Where is the operating system stored in the computer for quick access by microprocessor?
in main memory
Where is the operating system stored before it is loaded into main memory?
on the hard drive
Where the variables are stored in the computer?
Variable stored in the memory block inside the RAM. whenever we declare a variable it would take space in main memory and consume it's size from RAM.
What is a main memory hardware that loses the data stored in it when power is withdrawn?
I think you maybe thinking about the RAM ( random access memory).
Is software stored in main memory or non volatile memory?
Both. The software resides in the nonvolatile memory when it is not being run, and a copy is loaded into main memory when it is being run. Programs have to reside in RAM in order for the CPU to process their instructions.
Where is memory stored in?
Memory is stored in the brain's grey matter.
Where does global variables stored in C?
It depends entirely on what platform you are using. In an embedded environment, for instance global/static variables go into different RAM memory segments depending on whether or not they are initialised. constants are often left in ROM automatic variables are normally placed of the stack of the currently running task but not always.
How can the processor find data items stored in main memory?
The software would tell it where to find the items.
What is stored in the brain?
Memory is stored in the brain. Some things like an odd answer to a question in maths are stored in short term memory and others like your birthday are stored in long term memory.
