Scratchpad memory

Scratchpad memory is a type of computer memory that can be used to temporarily store data. It's like a short-term memory place for your computer. When your computer needs to remember something for a short period of time, it puts the information into the scratchpad. For example, if you type a few words into your computer, it can remember those words for a few seconds before you save them in a document. Scratchpad memory is like a notepad that you can use when you need to remember something quickly.
