- Why use transistor-based cache memory if random access memory (RAM) is unstable? Is there a limit to how much storage a computer can have?arrow_forwardCache memory seems unnecessary when volatile RAM is already accessible. This question is unanswerable since RAM and cache memory are transistor-based. Do you think a single-memory computer can do all its tasks?arrow_forwardWhy bother using cache memory if RAM makes use of transistors? Is there a single form that all memories take?arrow_forward
- Considering that RAM (random access memory) also uses transistors, what is the purpose of cache memory? Can a single memory type suit all purposes?arrow_forward19-8) isMember Function Write a recursive Boolean function named isMember. The function should accept three arguments: an int array, an int index number holding the size of the array and an int value to be searched for. The function should return true if the value is found in the array, or false if the value is not found in the array. Demonstrate the function in a driver program. --ORIGINAL QUESTION (Had no index variable and no type on the array)- 19-6) Recursive Power Function Write a function that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The function should accept two arguments: the number to be raised and the exponent. Assume that the exponent is a nonnegative integer. Demonstrate the function in a program.
