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

Question 2
Which of the following is NOT a fact about the stack?(1 point)
Responses

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

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

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 correct responses to each question:

Question 1: What is the benefit of RAM not being bound to sequential access of data?

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

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

• Response: The stack operates as FIFO ("first in, first out").

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

• Response: A heap is ordered, sequential, and smaller than a stack.

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

• Response: float.

(Note: While 'number' is not a specific data type in Python, it can refer to numeric types in general. 'char' is not a primitive type in Python; Python uses strings for character data.)
