Caching
Description
Caching is a way to store
frequently used information
in a fast-access place. When
the computer needs that
data, it checks the cache first
for quick access. If the data
is in the cache, it's retrieved
faster; otherwise, the
computer fetches it from the
original source.
Analogy
Caching is like keeping your
favorite snacks on a nearby shelf
for quick access. This will enable
you to grab your favorite snack
easily from the nearby shelf
instead of going to the store every
time.
