DRAM is a Volatile random-access memory (VRAM).

Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on.

Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).

Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off.

Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS). 

Hard copy is the output which is printed by the computer.

A relational database is a digital database based on the relational model of data, a database structured to recognize relations between stored items of information. A software system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system.

Computer database in which all data is stored in Relations which (to the user) are tables with rows and columns. Each table is composed of records (called Tuples) and each record is identified by a field (attribute) containing a unique value. Every table shares at least one field with another table in 'one to one,' 'one to many,' or 'many to many' relationships. These relationships allow the database user to access the data in almost an unlimited number of ways, and to combine the tables as building blocks to create complex and very large databases.

The interviewer wants to know that you don't just jump into a solution without knowing the problem in detail. You want to study the problem by determining the cause of the problem, what the problem is, and what the possible solutions are. You then decide on a solution.

Following steps for problem-solving and decision-making can be very helpful.

- Define the problem to be solved and decision to be made.
- Gather the necessary information.
- List all possible choices.
- Consider possible outcomes for each choice.
- Check out how you feel about each of the choices.
- Relate the choices to your values and priorities.
- From the possible alternatives, choose one.
- Commit yourself to your chosen decision and disregard the others. Concentrate your energies   in one direction. Once we made our decision, we must focus all our work on that itself.
- Take steps to turn your decision into positive action.
- Evaluate your progress from time to time. Change your decision if necessary.

In a brief, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications. System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer’s hardware and application programs.

Examples : OS, System utilities, BIOS like mouse, keyboard, hard disc, Device drivers, Assembler,...

Ethernet uses Bus topology.

Difference between undeclared and undefined variables is defined as

Undeclared variables are those that do not exist in a program and are not declared. If the program tries to read the value of an undeclared variable, then a runtime error is encountered.

Undefined variables are those that are declared in the program but have not been given any value. If the program tries to read the value of an undefined variable, an undefined value is returned.

Size of the primary memory of a PC ranges between 256 KB to 640 KB.
