<p>In <a href="page.php?w=computer_science">computer science</a>, <b>persistence</b> refers to the characteristic of <a href="page.php?w=State_%28computer_science%29">state</a> of a system that outlives (persists for longer than) the <a href="page.php?w=Process_%28computing%29">process</a> that created it. This is achieved in practice by storing the state as data in <a href="page.php?w=computer_data_storage">computer data storage</a>. Programs have to transfer data to and from storage devices and have to provide mappings from the native <a href="page.php?w=Programming_language">programming-language</a></p><p>
