primary memories like ram and ROM are used for storing datas while working and this datas are temporary because of the factors like immediate power loss.so the datas must be saved in the secondary storage devices like hard disk in order to use it again.
It is called the main memory (RAM, CACHE, SDRAM, RDRAM, DRAM) etc. which sotes the data temporarily as the computer is still on
once the system is turned off, all its contents are also lost.
Temporary memory is just normal memory but is only required temporarily. For instance, when a function is called, arguments (variables) may be passed to it. Memory may need to be set aside (allocated) to cater for those arguments, but the memory is only used temporarily. The memory is automatically released when the function returns to the caller.
A similar situation occurs when you have a large block of memory (an array) and need to make it bigger to accommodate new elements. If there's not enough free space to enlarge the block, a new allocation must be made. Thus two blocks are allocated. However, the original block is only temporary. Once all data has been copied over from the original block, the original block can be released.
RAM (random access memory)
if you opened a program on your computer, that information would be stored by the RAM, and given to the Hard Drive for you to use, once you close of the program, the information that is stored in the RAM will be lost.

What is a computer memory for temporary data?
RAM - Random Access Memory
A computer's temporary memory is called?
Temporary storage in a computer is designated as RAM (Random Access Memory), and gets reset every time the computer is shut down; unlike permanent storage (Harddrives, Flash Drives). RAM allows a computer to run programs without bogging down the harddrive, which is much slower by comparison.
Which memory is temporary in nature?
Primary memory are volatile in nature. Eg. RAM. This memory loses data when computer is switched off.
Where is a byte's temporary storage location in memory?
A byte's temporary storage location in memory is RAM. The process of translating instructions into signals the computer can execute is a tower.
What is parts of computer provide only temporary storage of file?
RAM memory.
Is volatile memory or nonvolatile memory faster?
Volatile memory is temporary. Non-volatile is used for storing information after the the computer is shut down.
Does RAM mean?
RAM means Random Access Memory, it is the computers temporary memory that it uses to store temporary variables and whatnot in order to function
Which area of the computer stores temporary info when the computer is on?
RAM ( random access memory)
Why does the computer go in stand by when inserting a CD in the CD-ROM drive?
READ ONLY MEMORY aka Temporary memory
Which storage is temporary?
Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).
How to fix temporary memory when it says no memory?
How to fix ram, or temporary memory, that says no memory?
What part of the computer provides only temporary storage of files?
RAM - standing for Random Access Memory. The contents of RAM are lost when the computer is turned off.
