Answer / techie
We can build FIFO using memory blocks (at a more granular
level using a series of registers). One of the structure we
can use for storing and retrieving data would be FIFO(First
In First Out). Other structure could be a Stack which is a
First In Last out kind of implementation. Similarity between
them is that they are used of data storage.
