RAM is not bound to sequential access of data. What is the benefit of this?(1 point)

Question

Responses

RAM is kept far away from the CPU so that the OS is not confused by an overflow of data.

It takes much longer to retrieve data in RAM than it does the hard drive.

It takes just about the same amount of time to retrieve data from one part of RAM as another.

Which of the following is NOT a fact about the stack?(1 point)
Responses

A stack is automatically managed by the CPU, so there is no need for the programmer to allocate space.

The stack operates as FIFO ("first in, first out")
The stack operates as FIFO ("first in, first out")

The stack operates as LIFO ("last in, first out")

The stack usually stores primitive variables (such as int, char, and float)

Which of the following is NOT a fact about the heap?(1 point)

When an object is created, it typically goes into the heap, and a reference to the object goes into the stack.

Answer 1

Here are the responses to your questions:

Question 1: Which of the following is NOT a fact about RAM and its access?

• Correct Response: It takes much longer to retrieve data in RAM than it does the hard drive. (This statement is actually false; RAM is much faster than a hard drive.)

Question 2: Which of the following is NOT a fact about the stack?

• Correct Response: The stack operates as FIFO ("first in, first out"). (This statement is false; the stack operates as LIFO - Last In, First Out.)

Question 3: Which of the following is NOT a fact about the heap?

• Correct Response: A heap is ordered, sequential, and smaller than a stack. (This statement is false; the heap is generally not ordered or sequential and can be larger than the stack.)

Question 4: Which of the following is a Primitive Data Type in Python?

• Correct Response: float (In Python, primitive data types include int, float, bool, and str. The options "number", "char", and "null" are not primitive data types in Python.)
