7.	What is Caching and why we use cache
Answer» Cache is usefull to save data and storing it for later use. Cache is a smaller and faster memory which stores copies of the frequently used data which is later use as a INPUT for other thing. Here we stroe object like HTML pages, images, FILES, WEB objects, ETC are stored in cache to improve the efficiency and overall performance of the application. A cache is typically stored in memory or on disk. A memory cache is normally faster to read from than a disk cache. But, does not survive system restarts. Below are the reason why we use cache (1)Reduce Latency (2)Increase Capacity (3)Improve App Availability
