<span>Random access memory. This problem requires you to know what the different types of memory are and their relative advantages and disadvantages. Let's look at them and see why 3 are wrong and one is correct. read-only memory: Otherwise known as ROM, this type of memory stores code that can't be over written. Used frequently for constant lookup values and boot code. Since it can't be written to by normal programs, it can't hold temporary values for Samantha. So this is the wrong choice. random-access memory: Otherwise known as RAM, this type of memory is used to store temporary values and program code. It is quite fast to access and most the immediately required variables and program code is stored here. It can both be written to and read from. This is the correct answer. hard disk: This is permanent long term readable and writable memory. It will retain its contents even while powered off. But accessing it is slow. Where the contents of RAM can be accessed in nanoseconds, hard disk takes milliseconds to seconds to access (millions to billions of times slower than RAM). Because it's slow, this is not the correct answer. But it's likely that Samantha will save her spreadsheet to hard disk when she's finished working with it so she can retrieve the spreadsheet later to work on again. compact disk: This is sort of the ROM equivalent to the hard disk. The data stored on a compact disk can not be over written. One way of describing the storage on a compact disk is "Write Once, Read many times". In most cases it's even slower than the hard disk. But can be useful for archiving information or making backups of the data on your computer.</span>

What is segmentation and paging?
iogann1982 [59]

Over the years, operating systems have sought to be more efficient, which is why it is vital that the use of main memory such as ram be as intelligent as possible, so that operating systems are more efficient.

Segmentation is a process of dividing the program into logical units, such as sub functions, arrays, variables, etc., making it possible to have processes divided into pieces so that it is easy to access each of the processes that this leads to its execution. Segmentation allows the programmer to contemplate the memory as if it had several address spaces or segments. References to memory consist of an address of the form segment number - offset.

Pagination is a technique where memory space is divided into physical sections of equal size, called page frames. The programs are divided into logical units, called pages, that are the same size as the page frames. In this way, an information page can be loaded in any page frame. The pages serve as an information storage unit and transfer between main memory and auxiliary or secondary memory. Each frame is identified by the frame address, which is in the physical position of the first word in the page frame.
