Compare and contrast RAM and ROM?

Answer 1

RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory; ROM is an

acronym for Read Only Memory. Both RAM and ROM are random

access; that is, each cell in memory is directly accessible. The cells in

RAM can be both read from and written to. The cells in ROM can

only be read from. The bit pattern in ROM is determined at the time

of manufacture or burned when the computer is assembled. Once a

ROM has been burned (written), it cannot be changed. Another major

difference is that RAM is volatile and ROM is not. This means that

RAM does not maintain its bit patterns when the power is turned off,

but ROM does.

Answer 2

ROM mean Read Only Memory and RAM mean Random Access memory.

In computer these two types of memories are used.
