Learn and Master C Programming - Memory & Storage

The lecture covers the basics of computer memory, focusing on RAM and ROM. RAM is described as volatile and temporary, while ROM is non-volatile and used for firmware. The lecture also explains memory addressing, distinguishing between physical and virtual addresses. Storage types, including HDDs and SSDs, are introduced, highlighting their differences in speed, cost, and data retention. The session concludes with a summary of these concepts, setting the stage for future discussions on software.
