  6. 10. A data structure in computing where elements are added and removed in a last-in, first-out (LIFO) order.
Down
  1. 1. A structured collection of data that is stored and managed electronically, allowing for easy access, manipulation, and retrieval of information.
  2. 2. A small, high-speed storage area that stores frequently accessed data to speed up retrieval and reduce access times to slower memory or storage.
  3. 3. The smallest unit of digital information, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1.
