solution:

RAM takes the form of computer chips — integrated circuits — that are either soldered directly onto the main logic board of your computer, or installed in memory modules that go in sockets on your computer’s logic board.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. The data stored in RAM can be accessed almost instantly regardless of where in memory it is stored, so it’s very fast – milliseconds fast. RAM has a very fast path to the computer’s CPU, or central processing unit, the “brain” of the computer which does most of the work.

Computers need some form of non-volatile storage: A place data can stay even when the computer isn’t being used, so you don’t have to reload and re-enter everything each time you use the computer. That’s the point of having storage, in addition to RAM.

Storage for the vast majority of computers in use today consists of a hard disk drive. Hard drives can provide hundreds or thousands of gigabytes of space that can be used to store applications, documents, data and all the other stuff you need to get your work done

Storage is slower than RAM. Hard disk drives are mechanical devices, so they can’t access information nearly as quickly as memory does. And storage devices in most personal computers use an interface called Serial ATA (SATA), which affects the speed at which data can move between the drive and the CPU.

They affects our computer by these ways

RAM, the most serious bottleneck to improving performance in your computer can be your storage. Even with plenty of RAM installed, computers need to write information and read it from the storage system – the hard drive or the SSD.

Hard drives come in different speeds and sizes. Many operate at 5400 RPM (their central axes turn at 5400 revolutions per minute). You’ll see snappier performance if you can get a 7200 RPM drive, and some specialized operating environments even call for 10,000 RPM drives. Faster drives cost more, are louder and use more power, but they exist as options.

In your own words, describe the structure and function of both the stack and queue data structure and discuss how they are diffe
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

Stack:

The stack data structure is used to create method, parsing, analysis of expression, and tracking. This data type uses the LIFO system, which stands from the Last In First Out. This data structure operates on the top side. In this data structure, it performs two methods, that are "push() and pop()" method and the time complexity of the stack data structure O(1).

Example of Stack:

import java.util.*;//import package

 public class Main //defining class Main

{      

public static void main (String[] ag)//defining main method  

  {

     ArrayDeque<Character> stack = new ArrayDeque<Character>();//creating Character array ArrayDeque  

       stack.push('A'); //add value in stack  

      stack.push('B');//add value in stack  

      stack.push('B'); //add value in stack  

      System.out.println("First Insert:"+stack); //print value         stack.pop();//remove value from stack    

    System.out.println("After removing element: "+stack); //print value         stack.push('B'); //add value in stack    

    stack.pop();//remove value from stack      

 System.out.println("final value: "+stack); //print value    

}

}

Output:

First Insert:[B, B, A]

After removing element: [B, A]

final value: [B, A]

Queue:

The queue data structure is an abstract type, it is similar to the stacks data structure. It is open at both ends when opposed to lines. It follows the FIFO method, which stands for the First-In-First-Out method, At one end data is inserted and at the other end, it deletes the data and the time complexity of the queue data structure O(1).

Example of Queue:

import java.util.*;//import package  

public class Main//defining a class queue

{  

    public static void main(String[] ars)//defining main method

    {  

      LinkedList<Integer> que= new LinkedList<Integer>();//defining integer array LinkedList    

      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)//defining fo loop to add value in queue  

     {    

        que.add(i); //use add method to insert value        

}        

System.out.println("Queue value: "+ que); //print queue value      

  int remove= que.remove(); //remove value from the queue          System.out.println("after removing value from queue: "+ remove);//removing element from queue  

      System.out.println(que);  //after removing the element print value  

  }

}  

Output:

Queue value: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

after removing value from queue: 0

[1, 2, 3, 4]
