Memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is an area of a computer that temporarily holds data waiting to be processed. It is volatile, meaning that data stored in it is lost when the computer is turned off. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the part of the computer that performs most of the processing, but it doesn't hold data waiting to be processed. Storage, such as a hard drive or flash drive, holds data for long-term use. A file is a unit of data stored on a computer.
