Memory can be broadly divided into RAM and ROM. RAM is an acronym for random-access memory, a type of memory which allows data to be read and stored freely. Software programs and entered data are stored in RAM. ROM, on the other hand, stands for read-only memory, a special type of memory which only allows data to be read. The ROM contains fixed data for programs of the particular computer. Q28: What is a bitmap? A28: A bitmap is a type of standard used for storing graphics created by the computer as a file.
