Temporary variable variable "temp" as follows, so as to preserve the data from "a" as it is being overwritten by "b": Temporary variables are usually named with identifiers that abbreviate the word "temporary", such as "temp", "tmp" or simply "t", or with common metasyntactic variable names, the most common of which are "foo", "bar", "baz" (see also foobar). Computer hardware is designed to exploit the behaviour of temporary data: a cache or register file may contain temporaries internally to a microprocessor, such that they never need to be committed to main memory (hence consuming no external memory bandwidth).

Temporary satellite Temporary satellite A temporary satellite is an asteroid which has been captured by the gravitational field of a planet and thus became the planet's natural satellite, but, unlike irregular moons of the larger outer planets of the Solar System, will later leave its orbit around the planet. The only observed example is , which was a temporary satellite of Earth for nine months in 2006 and 2007. Some defunct space probes or rockets have also been observed on temporary satellite orbits. The dynamics of the capture of asteroids by Earth was explored in simulations conducted on a supercomputer, with results
