What part of the computer serve as work area to store a programme and its data while the programme is running?

The part of the computer that serves as a work area to store a program and its data while the program is running is the Random Access Memory (RAM). RAM temporarily holds the program's code and data that the CPU needs for processing, allowing for quick access and execution. Unlike permanent storage, data in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off.

How do you classify ram?

Classification of RAM is a random access memory module designed to store temporary data for processing. When data is completely processed by the CPU, the data stored in RAM will be erased except for processes that need to be constantly running. If RAM is full and the CPU still needs more information to process, RAM can allocate temporary virtual memory on the hard drive known as a page file or swap file. This file and RAM constantly swap data based on the process priority until RAM space is no longer used, but the swap file still contains data that was dumped. Swap file data is erased and rewritten the next time RAM is overloaded and needs to dump data for immediate processing.
