#166703 - "RAM" and "Data Memory" are not synonymous
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kiran V. Sutar said:
When you specify any variable as char, int long, float, double it is in RAM

Not necessarily true - these are 'C' data types; they have nothing to do with what memory technology is used to provide the storage - RAM, ROM, etc...

RAM (also called as Data Memory)

No - "RAM" and "Data Memory" are not synonymous at all!

In this context "Data" refers to the 8051's DATA Memory Address space; ie, the 128 bytes of directly-addressable memory - it happens to be RAM, but there may well also be other areas of RAM besides the DATA space!
