Temporary and persistent storage is crucial when programming. Your program will have many processes or functions that'll sit in temporary or volatile memory. Like us we don't need to remember every last process we've conducted throughout the day; such as making a cup of coffee or preparing a dinner for these processes will soon be forgotten.
However what if the user saves a file? We now have something much more important that our program should keep. This data requires persistent or nonvolatile memory to save the users data. This is like our long lasting memory where, like us, we need to go back and look at this data later on.
But that's all there is to it! Persistent and temporary memory are the only two types of storage out there. You can either have volatile slash temporary, or nonvolatile, persistent storage.
