RAM (Random Access Memory)

Introduction

You might currently sit and wonder "What is RAM?" if that is you, dont worry the short answer is that it is the memory of the computer. If you are wondering "What is RAM (Random Access Memory), What do they mean by random? Also is that really a good thing? I assume predictable things are better?" Well, then you have come to the right place - I will try to outline what RAM is, how it works etc. in as brief and simple a manner as possible below

At the heart of any computer system lies the Central Processing Unit (CPU), also known as the processor. The CPU is the brain of your computer, responsible for executing most instructions that your device receives. It's essentially the "control center" where all computations take place. In simple terms, the CPU's primary function is to read and execute a series of instructions called machine code, which are stored in the computer's memory (RAM).

If you are completely in the dark about computers, it might be worth reading the "what are the components of a computer page first" and then you can deep dive into each of the components such as this page "RAM", "Storage", "what is an OS" etc.
