Difference between primary memory and secondary memory.

Difference between primary memory and  secondary memory

Primary Memory

primary memory is a very important memory in our computer system.It also called non-versadile memory.  means who memory store data for  temporary time.for example :- store software application files in temporary time. if turn off the application the file will be delete in the primary memory automatically. if we  don't have primary memory  in computer system.computer can't start. 

Main two types of primary  memory

 1. Random Access Memory (RAM) 

 2. Read Only Memory (ROM) 

1. Random Access Memory (RAM) 

this memory is also called primary memory. because without these memory operating system can't start. these memory stored many types of files related to operating system. with the help of this memory operating system load the boot program. These memory can be changeable as read and write both.

2. read only memory

These memory is play a major role as a primary memory in computer system. It is called primary memory because without this memory operating system never start.These memory stored files of operating system without these memory operating system never start. 

II. Secondary memory

These memory is play a major role in computer operating system. But without this memory operating can start.Its stored operating system files inside us. In this types of memory can plug internal and external both can attach in computer system.

Types of secondary memory

Hard disk drive (H.D.D)
Pendrive
Floppy drive
Compact disk (CD) drive
SD Cards

1. Hard drive 

The first popular secondary memory is hard drive. It has stored files of operating system. To help the operating for boot program. These types of memory has taken many sequences of  plates and  move theThe plate with help of one sigle magnet inside the drive. These type of disk replaced by Solid State Drive (SSD).

2. Pendrive

These types of memory is better than floppy disk and CD drive.It has  stored many types of files with the help of electronics waves. Pendrive is now trending in market, because it stored cheap data and transfer inside the file to another device  very quickly.

3. Floppy disk

These type of memory is to play movies, videos, songs and open the document outside the  computer like CD drive. But  these of disk is now replaced  by the pendrives and SD cards.

3. SD cards

These types  of memory is made by a plastics and have gold or silver lines for the slot. When we put this memory in slot. It start the work in device. Its used in mobiles phones, tablets, Ipods, and as well as digital notebooks. These type of cards is use to if we play any video, movies , songs, documents, files in any device.

About Node.js

  Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code outside a web browser. Here are some key points about Node.js: JavaScript Runtime : Node.js uses the V8 JavaScript engine, which is the same engine used by Google Chrome, to execute JavaScript code on the server side. Non-blocking I/O : Node.js is designed with non-blocking, event-driven architecture. This makes it efficient and suitable for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Single-threaded Event Loop : Despite being single-threaded, Node.js can handle many connections concurrently by using an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, which helps in managing high throughput. NPM (Node Package Manager) : Node.js comes with NPM, the largest ecosystem of open-source libraries and packages, which simplifies the development process by allowing developers to easily share and reuse code. Popular Use Cases : Node.js is commonly used for develop...

Express.js

Express.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. Here are the key aspects of Express.js: Minimalist Framework : Express.js is designed to be lightweight, providing only the essential tools and features needed to build web applications and APIs, while allowing developers to add other modules as needed. Middleware : Express.js makes extensive use of middleware, which are functions that have access to the request object (req), the response object (res), and the next middleware function in the application’s request-response cycle. Middleware can execute code, modify the request and response objects, end the request-response cycle, and call the next middleware function. Routing : Express.js has a powerful and flexible routing system that allows developers to define routes for their applications. Routes can handle different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and can be parameterized to cap...

what is Javascript

JavaScript (JS)  is a high-level, interpreted programming language that is widely used to create interactive effects within web browsers. Here's a brief overview of JavaScript Key Features Interpreted Language: JavaScript is executed line by line by the browser’s JavaScript engine. Dynamic Typing: Variable types are determined at runtime. Event-Driven : JavaScript can execute code in response to events like user actions (clicks, key presses).  Prototype-Based : JavaScript uses prototypes instead of classes for inheritance. First-Class Functions: Functions are treated as first-class citizens, meaning they can be stored in variables, passed as arguments, and returned from other functions. Core Concepts Variables: Declared using var, let, or const.  Data Types : Includes primitives like strings, numbers, booleans, undefined, and null, as well as objects, arrays, and functions. Functions: Defined using function declarations or expressions, including arrow functions. Control...
