stack -> the area in memory where all statically declared variables are stored ( normal variables, function parameters, return values, variables inside functions etc...

heap -> the area in memory where dynamically allocated variables are stored ( the one using new keyword in c++

EDIT sorry i didn't read the question carefully :

the thing i actually want to know that where the stacks and heaps resides in memory ?

they are both in the RAM ?
