MEMORY VARIABLE
Memory variable files are a way to store the status of memory variables that are currently stored in memory and use them later in the same program. In computer programming, a variable is an identifier (usually a letter, word, or phrase) that is linked to a value stored in the system's memory or an expression that can be evaluated. For instance, a variable might be called "total_count" and contain a number
DATA FIELD
A data field is a place where you can store data. Commonly used to refer to a column in a database or a field in a data entry form or web form. An area in the main memory of the computer in which a data record is contained. A data field is the smallest subdivision of the stored data that can be accessed. A data field can be used to store numerical information such as price, count or a date or time, or even a data and time. A pair of data fields can be used in combination to hold a geo-spatial coordinate. Also, a data field can be used to hold a block of text. A data field takes up permanent storage within the data-store.

Computer storage
computer storage - an electronic memory device; "a memory and the CPU form the central part of a computer to which peripherals are attached" .
Data storage
Data storage can refer to:
· Computer data storage; memory, components, devices and media that retain digital computer data used for computing for some interval of time.
· Any data storage device; that records (stores) or retrieves (reads) information (data) from any medium, including the medium itself
Data
Data are pieces of information that represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables. Data (plural of "datum") are typically the results of measurements and can be the basis of graphs, images, or observations of a set of variables. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived.
Information
Information as a concept has a diversity of meanings, from everyday usage to technical settings. Generally speaking, the concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, mental stimulus, pattern, perception, and representation.
Computer system
A complete, working computer. The computer system includes not only the computer, but also any software and peripheral devices that are necessary to make the computer function. Every computer system, for example, requires an operating system.
Operating system
Operating system (commonly abbreviated to either OS or O/S) is an interface between hardware and user; it is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the resources of the computer. The operating system acts as a host for computing applications that are run on the machine. As a host, one of the purposes of an operating system is to handle the details of the operation of the hardware. This relieves application programs from having to manage these details and makes it easier to write applications. Almost all computers (including handheld computers, desktop computers, supercomputers, video game consoles) as well as some robots, domestic appliances (dishwashers, washing machines), and portable media players use an operating system of some type. [1] Some of the oldest models may however use an embedded operating system, that may be contained on a compact disk or other data storage device.
