This depends on the kind of program and the amount of data. If you are asking about individual numbers during a calculation, these are often stored in Registers inside the processor. For programs that work with small amounts of data, the data is often loaded in the computer RAM (Random Access Memory). For programs that work with a large amount of data, such as a database program, the data is usually stored on a disk drive and only little bits a read into the computer at a time.

Ans.The data-processing cycle describes how data is processed into information by the computer. The input stage is the first stage of the data-processing cycle. Data is collected and entered into the computer. In the processing stage, the computer converts data into information according to given instructions. After processing, the information is presented to users in the output stage. Information is stored on different types of media in the storage stage.
