Answer:

The period from 1959-1965 was the second generation. Transistors that are cheaper, consumed less power, were used in this generation, were more compact, were more reliable, and were faster than first-generation vacuum tubing machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary memories and the magnet tapes and magnetic discs were used as secondary storage equipment in this generation.

The montage language and high programming languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL, have been used in this generation. The computers used batch processing and operating system multi-programming.

A memory is like the brain of human beings. It is used for storing information and instructions. Computer memory is the storage space on the computer that processes data and saves instructions for processing.

The memory is split into many small parts known as cells. There is a unique address for each location or cell, which varies from 0 to memory minus one.

There are three basic types of memory:

Memory Cache

Main Memory/Primary Memory

The Memory of a Second Kind
