I know how to program in java, but how do you store info in the computers memory so after you close the program and reopen it, it will still be there. If you want to, could you show me an example of a program that does this.
Answer
You should either write into files or databases depending on the situation and level you're in. The database option is really way bigger than Yahoo Answers and even the files option is not as easy as it looks like. This link is not bad:

but the following link describes one of the simplest ways of storing information:

What is the difference between Kb and Mb and what are they?

Caroline S
What is the difference between a Kb and Mb in computer memory terms. I am downloading sims for my sims game and I don't know what would be considered to take up a lot of memory. For example: This sims right here named Joslyn is 9.8 MB. Is that a lot? I have a small computer so I don't know how much memory I should be taking up with these sims from online.
Answer
a KB is a kilobyte of information ... that equals 1024 Bytes of data ... a byte is 1024 bits of information ... basically a bit is the smallest amount of digital info and one can think of it as a single digit or character.
So a Megabyte is the equivalent of 1024 Kilobytes. Nowadays that is not a a huge amount of data. Most modern computers have at least one or two or more Gigabytes of memory basically 1000 megabytes) and usually close to a terabyte (1000 gigabytes) of data storage. So if you computer is less than 4 years old you should not have to worry about 9.8 mb of data. By modern standards it should be of no concern to a computer. However on a hand held device such as a smart phone it may be of some consequence but not much in terms of data storage or application.
