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.
