What does it mean by buffer?

Question

I see the word \"BUFFER\" everywhere, but I am unable to grasp what it exactly is.

1. Would anybody please explain what is buffer in laym

Answer 1

Buffer means 'temporary storage'. Buffers are important in computing because interconnected devices and systems are seldom 'in sync' with one another, so when information is sent from one system to another, it has somewhere to wait until the recipient system is ready.
