As we know, ROM i.e. read only memory can't be altered and comes in in-built form with the computer system. The user can't make any changes. To overcome this problem PROM came into existence. PROM i.e. programmable read only memory allows the user to program their own. Once the chip is prepared again user can't edit it. But also now the technology have been so developed that now we can erase our data and it gave two type of PROM i.e. EEPROM and UVPROM which are erased through high electric pluse and with the help of UV rays respectively. Remember, there is still not the concept of editing the data.
