Q.3 12M
1. The memory temporarily holds the data and information during processing.
The smallest unit of memory is a (8 bit). A byte can store one character in binary form. Other measuring units are
kilobytes (KB) equal to 1024 bytes, Megabyte(MB) equal to 1024 KB, Gigabyte(GB) equal to 1024 MB and
Terabytes(TB) equal to 1204 GB.

2. RAM refers to random access memory where both read and write operations can take place. But the RAM is a volatile
memory, its contents are lost when power is turned off.
ROM refers to read only memory where only read operation can take place. The ROM is a non-volatile memory. Both
RAM and ROM are parts of the primary memory.
3.Cache memory is a special high-speed memory that stores most recently used data in order to speed up the process of
instruction execution. A cache can speed up data retrieval because recently used data is likely to be used again by the
computer.
4.There are broadly two categories of software:
1.System Software. This type of software controls internal computer operations. The system software can further be
classified in two categories:
(i) Operating System. An operating system is a program which acts as an interface between a user and the hardware.
(ii) Language Processor. This program is responsible for converting an HLL code (High Level Language code) into
machine understandable code.
2.Application Software. An application software is the set of programs necessary to carry out operations for a specified
application.

5. An interpreter converts an HLL program into machine language line by line and simultaneously executes the converted
line. Also, an interpreter must always be present in the memory along with the program for its execution. If an error
occurs in a line, the line is displayed and interpreter does not proceed unless the error is rectified.
A compiler converts an HLL program in machine language in one go. If there are errors in the program, it gives the error
list along with the line numbers. Once the errors are removed, error-free object code is made available and after this
compiler is no more needed in the memory.

6. Application software is a software that pertains to one application.


Application software is required because system software cannot carry out the routine jobs performed by the user
which application software can easily.
To perform various kinds of activities, the application software comes in a various category:
(i) Packages
(ii) Utilities
(iii) Business Software
(iv) Developer Tools

7. Arithmetic logic Unit (ALU):

The ALU perform all the four arithmetic (+, -, *, /) and some logical ( < ,> , =, <=, >=, !=) Operations when two numbers
are required to be added these numbers are sent from memory to ALU where addition take place and the result is put
back in a memory in the same way other arithmetic operations are performed through ALU.
